Have any of you or anyone you personally know tried any height gaining supplements or Glucosamine supplements?

Question

Do they actually in honesty work? And i'd like an age (at LEAST an age range) Do they still work after your growth plates have closed like the way they claim they do? What is the name of the product, where did you get them from and for how much? Also, how much taller did you grow if you did at all?

Also with the glucosamine, i saw one that says it actually build up and increases the cartilage between your joints. Do they work (I think you'd be able to answer this question if you have arthritis and tried it)? My doctor says i have no cartilage in my hips so they won't work. Which ones have you tried and worked? And you'd better not work with those supplement companies otherwise your answer would be biased :)

Answer 1

I've had the cartilage removed from the back of one of my kneecaps (fencing injury). I tried Glucosamine+Chondriton - it did nothing for me. I've also heard rumours it can be pretty bad for your liver... but that's hearsay, so take with salt ;)

I'd suggest that if you're already healthy, don't bother - just eat a healthy diet and you'll have a better chance than most people.

Answer 2

Height Growth Products : The first approved natural product for height increase is Super-Growth www.super-growth.info www.super-growth.org  with this product it is possible to gain extra height increase even after puberty. Super-Growth is the most powerful way to increase your height naturally and fast.

Answer 3

Glucosamine sulfate + chondroitin, boron, proline, and New Zealand green lipped mussels (an extract is available: Google it) are known to help arthritic joints, as is mild exercise (hydrotherapy is good, because it removes weight from the equation). Also take 4 Omega 3 supplements, (certified free of mercury) daily. Height supplements are a scam!!! Anyone recommending them should be disregarded.

Answer 4

Sorry but the only way to get taller is to have surgery, go in cut the bones place in a graft from another area, but why bother? height does not improve your quality of life, if sport is the reason, then make sure you train harder and be the best you can be, forget the myths about height increasing vitamins etc, Glucosamine will not increase height.

Answer 5

Ive got a wrecked shoulder/neck from a bike prang many years ago and tried glucosamine as a last ditch attempt to be pain free. It really does work and after a week or so I started to feel much better, theres still some pain but its 100% better. I've recommended it to many people over the three years I've been using it, many of them now swear by it but some say its done nothing for them. I'm guessing you gotta try it and see but not all brands are the same. The ones I use are 1000mg SIGMA brand.

Best of luck
