Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for increasing height useful?
can glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplements and regular food are included to increase height? if so, are there any sideaffects for EM? This is for a 17-year-old JungenIch know that the above-mentioned increase shall be used to treat osteoarthritis and they help the growth of cartilage in the joints, but I would rather look forward than answers directly relevant to the question.
Well, you partially answered your own question. Those two ingredients are very good for joint health, they don’t make you grow taller. Since they are good for joint health, some people taking them when they are old may prevent themselves from losing a little height (which would have been lost from degenerating joints), but they don’t make people grow taller.
Unfortunately, there are none that work the way you want them to. Nothing can force your body to grow taller than your DNA says you will. There are some things that can take away from your potential height (including smoking, drugs, caffeine, etc), so as long as you stay away from those and have a healthy diet, you should grow as tall as you’re supposed to. Besides all that, your growing age normally peaks around 20 years old, so since you’re younger than that, you’ve got plenty of time to finish growing and any growth pills can actually be detrimental to your height and/or health.
The only thing that actually would work would be a risky, expensive, and very painful surgery where they cut your leg in half (no joke), add a few spacers, then let your body heal. It’s most common in China where height has a bigger impact in certain jobs. Over the course of a year or two, they could add an inch or so to your leg… but I don’t think it would be worth the pain and price myself.
However, if they are insoles, those will help to boost your height because they are adding the height, not making you grow taller.
Good luck and I hope I helped!
