Height is Genetically Determined Posted: 02-21-06 13:31pm
I want to grow more, I already talk about
it with a doctor and he told me that I may
reach 1.70 as minimun and 1.74 as maximun
but the only thing he recommended me was
to use ensure. Anyway I started to do more
exercise , I lost almost 5 kg , I started
drinking more milk , etc. But my parents
think that increasing my height is not
important so they will not spend money on
that. That is why I decided to save some
money for that but i am not sure what
product I should buy? I am pretty
interested in one that is called heightmax
but it is quite expensive and i am not
sure if it works, I did not find
information about its ingridients although
I did find several people talking about
its efficiency, should I buy it? If not
what should I buy?

Put any height-growth drug out of your
mind because YOU DON’T NEED ONE!!! Your
height is quite normal. According to your
age, you still have time to grow. One
human’s maximum height depends upon
genetic factors... not on nutrients or
supplements contained in “HeightMax”
or any other drug. Vitamins, minerals and
other supplements are good for your health
but they can’t increase your maximum
height which is genetically determined.
