Hey doc, I'm a Male of 20, I'm 5'1 & half. Weight 51 (more or less). I want to grow taller by 12 cms. My father was 5'7, mom is 5'4, both sides of family are relatively tall. I'm a vegetarian, non-smoker, non-alcoholic, non-drugs. I'm on whey protein since a year. I've been trying to get tall with all sorts of Process- which follows : Medicines supplements like- L-arginine, L-lysine, Melatonin, (as they increase GH) & Calcium & vitamin D for bones. : Workout includes : Swimming, Cycling, Sprinting, Stretching Spine & Legs, Jumps (to create micro fractures) , Kicks with ankle weights. Still not getting any results, been trying for a long time. What should i do? Should i get an IGF-1 steroid? Please help me out. I really need something, which can get me tall, its important. Thank You

At your age, you have had the full growth and you will not have any further growth. Taking any form of hormones or steroids have significant risks not only for complications but they may have an effect on the hormones produced by your body and lead to infertility or impotency later in life. Height is a complex interaction of various factors. Continue to do the exercises as you are now, they will keep you fit and healthy. People with lesser height look younger than taller people, which is a positive thing for you to look at.
