Am I too old to take growth supplements?

Our growth supplements can only work for people whose growth plates are still open, or at least partially open.*

Currently, most human growth plates after age 20 have closed. Once the growth plates close completely, people will not be able to grow (except by having leg-lengthening surgery), and no growth supplements can reverse the closure of growth plates to help people grow naturally.

If you are over 22 years old, your growth plates have closed completely; we are so sorry to say that our products cannot work on you in that case.*

Our sincerest advice for adults who want to improve their growth at that point is to do intense exercise frequently.*

In other words, sports and exercises that are good for bone growth (swimming, yoga, basketball, volleyball, etc.) can help to decompress spinal discs or correct your posture to make the most of your height within a day. Even though these exercises cannot actually make you grow, they can help you appear taller for an inch or two as long as you keep practicing regularly. Your height will get back to its current measurement when you stop exercising.

Please note that you should choose exercises that cause no injury to you. Either overtraining or exercises that are too light will not work for your growth improvement.
