There are growth hormones, but they are given only to people that have a condition where their growth is being impeded by a physical or hormonal condition.

I've taken growth hormones for several years. They're a daily injection to the abdomen, and it really doesn't hurt that much.

I'm naturally growth hormone deficient, which basically means that my pituitary gland doesn't produce enough growth hormone to make me grow to an acceptable height. My case it relatively mild; without intervention I would have been about 5'3, and with growth hormone injections I will be about 5'9.

The medicine I take is Nutropin, produced by Genentech. It's artificially created by E. coli to be exactly like the growth hormone a human being produces. It gets injected, and stimulates the brain to tell the body to grow.

See a pediatric endocrinologist to find out more about growth hormone.

Remember that there are several important factors about this. For one, you might be too old to use it. More important than your chronological age is your "bone age." This is essentially the effective age of your skeleton. If it's too "old," then growth hormone will not be effective, and you certainly will not get approval from any insurance company. As it stands, approval is almost always hard to get, except in extreme cases, and most people would not bother paying for growth hormone our-of-pocket (my dosage would cost aboue $80,000 per year).

Obviously, pills that purportedly will make you grow do not work.

I hope this helps you.

No, your height, like your hair color, eye color, etc. is genetics. If you come from short people, you will more than likely be a shorter person. Just eat the right foods and keep your body in good shape and you will grow as tall as your genetics will allow.
