Hello..... Growth  harmone is anabololic harmone,  altering  harmonal  level  in blood is not good idea..  Because it's not only connected growth  but many  other organs..  Don't  try medication for growth  they won't work. Cycling, swimming, skipping, stretching exercise may help you..  Do it in the early morning..  Have protenaceous food items..
