Me: This is a height increase supplement stack method a nearly complete physically mature person created to try to increase in height. In his method, the main components are colostrum, niacin, and amino acids, all which I have covered at some point in the website stating that there is clinical studies showing that each of the compounds has some correlation to greater height. 

The method was found from an old post on Giant Scientific. Source Link HERE

Me: This is a complete repost I did on the type of advice an endocrinologist gave online about what you can realistically do to possibly increase your height.

It Is Possible To GROW TALL If Your Bones Arent Fused!{no Scams}

For the short guys out there I know how it feels being short but if your still a teenager there is hope to grow pass your genetic height if you are 17 – 21 there is still hope if your growth plates arent fused by then.But if your plates are already fused there is nothing you can do about your height.The reason i am doing this is because Im short myself and think there is hope for us.Heres the information an endicronologist gave on a sight concerning short people.

Endicronologist said:
This is a quite in-depth report which I am making in view of the few months of research I have done into growing taller. This report is not bias and does not in any way contain any brand names. Please note that companies claiming growth and all are likely to be scam sites. Please do not trust them, especially those who claim an increase of height for those who are over 21, or those that come in Lotion form, or give high amounts of HGH ( these will result in facial and physical deformation ).

First of all I would like to clarify some things. It is not possible at all to grow taller ( besides using Limb Extension Surgery ) once the growth plates are fused. Total epiphyseal ( growth plate ) fusion occurs at 20 or, in some individuals up to 25. Any site which claims to open the closed growth plates or promote growth after the age of 21 are likely to be scams.

Second, I would like to say that for those who are below 15 ( and probably, those who are 16 ), there is very much hope for you. Those who are 16-21, there is hope, but the only thing that might help you, from an endocrinologist viewpoint, is estrogen blockers, or aromatase inhibitors. Estrogen blockers, or aromatase inhibitors, will slow down epiphyseal fusion so that you can grow more for longer. Estrogen actually speeds up growth plate fusion. By preventing androgen by being converted to estrogen, you buy more time for you to grow. Without anti-estrogen therapy, one might stop growing totally and irreversibly at around 20 years of age. If one gets on anti-estrogen therapy, one can expect to grow for many years more, and, according to a clinical study, grow 5.1cm taller than estiamted adult height. I hope that before taking anti-estrogen that you seek the help of your physician, or better still, an endocrinologist. If not, the least you should do is to take an X-ray or your hand and verify if you have completed epiphyseal fusion. If that is so, ABSOLUTELY NO DRUG OR THERAPY can help you grow taller besides Limb Extension Surgery. Anti-estrogen, or aromatase blockers, are available widely and might not require a prescription. They should be safe, but given that they deal with the brain, if you experience and neurologic effects like uncontrollable shaking of your hand, stop treatment and seek professional advice. Examples of anti-estrogen can be Letrivole, Tamoxifen and many more.

THOSE UNDER 15-16 ( or about that age )
___________________________________________

For those who are below 15-16, I hate to repeat this, but do seek your doctor’s advice you are very short. If the doctor refuses to do anything, seek another doctor’s opinion. If all else fails, you can follow what I outline below.

Height is largely based on genetic factors. The smaller factors can be the amount of growth factors in your blood, the function of your pituitary gland and also nutritional and sleep factors. Do note that stretching or excercise has not been proven to result in a permanent increase of height.

As an endocrinologist, I must state that even I and everyone DO NOT AT ALL understand fully the workings of the growth factors. What we know is limited. Let me highlight briefly what we know. We know that height is influenced by several growth factors, such as the amount of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, the amount of Growth Hormone, the amount of Hormone which stimulates Growth Hormone release, and the amount of other minor growth factors. Testosterone does not in any way lead to increased adult stature. It can kickstart puberty if you have not shown any signs of puberty yet, but it definitely has not been shown to increase adult stature in ANY MEDICAL JOURNALS OR CLINICAL STUDIES. Do note that I emphasize MEDICAL JOURNALS and CLINICAL STUDIES. Whatever you do, do try to find more information from these sources as, chances are, they are scientifically carried out and their results and statements should be quite accurate and reliable.

That aside, let me note what YOU CAN DO to increase your height. This is what is under your control. The options to increase growth factors are

(a) Increase HGH or the hormone which promotes HGH release ( sorry, I don’t recall the exact name )
(b) Increase IGF-1 levels

Increasing HGH level is risky at best, and this I cannot say anything about. Why risky? Not only can HGH result in LOWERED FINAL ADULT HEIGHT when taken inappropriately ( it may lead to earlier growth plate fusion and compromised or stunted height ), it can also disfigure you, or make you disproportionate, FOR LIFE. (a) is best done with the monitoring of a medical professional, not by yourself. I have seen cases of HGH injections or oral supplementation being administered wrongly even by medical professionals and this means you should NOT attempt home supplementation of HGH or any pro-hormones, like L-arginine or Creatine.

The safest you can do, without professional advice, is to increase IGF-1 levels. Again, this field is not understood by endocrinologists but what we do know is that many trials have demonstrated that IGF-1 levels correspond to increased height. IGF-1 can be given as injections, and this, I believe, would lead to complete and total absorption into the bloodstream and growth plates. IGF-1 can also be taken orally, without prescription, by taking Bovine Colostrum. Now, I do not know whether the IGF-1 in Colostrum is absorbed into your blood and make you taller. I also do not know the effects of very very high levels of IGF-1 or Colostrum on your final adult height. Therefore, don’t act smart or whatever. IGF-1 supplementation is not recommended above 500mg per day. DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN THAT AMOUNT. Besides height-related effects, it is well documented that IGF-1 will lead to increased cell mutation, or a higher cancer risk.

For those around this age, you can also do anti-estrogen therapy, but again, it is risky. I recommend you do not take it yet until you are 16.0 years of age. What you can do is to drink 1 or 2 glasses of milk a day. This contains approx. 20-30mg of IGF-1. This is especially important if you have not started puberty yet. If you have already started puberty, it should still work, and work well it should ( at least, that is what doctors think )

Two more things you can do.

Daily supplemenation of the following nutrients at about these amounts should be instrumental in increasing final adult stature. Also, this is not a joke, but for males, do not ejaculate often. If you do, take some Zinc. Ejaculating will lead to loss of approx. 5mg of Zinc. For one day’s dose, try not to exceed 30mg zinc. ( although toxic effects are reported only above 50mg )

The multivitamins below should be safe and should be taken everyday. The nutrients and vitamins and minerals below, have been what I have gleaned from many sources and forums, along with the help of my hospital nutritionalist, to be instrumental to growth.

Thiamin (as Thiamin Mononitrate) 75 mg
Riboflavin (Vitamin B-2) 75 mg
Niacin (as Niacinamide) 75 mg
Folic Acid 400 mcg
Vitamin B-12 (as Cyanocobalamin) 75 mg
Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate) 100 mg
Iodine (as Kelp) 150 mcg
Zinc (as Zinc Oxide) 15 mg
Copper (as Copper Sulfate) 250 mcg
Manganese (as Manganese Sulfate) 6 mcg
Boron (as Boron Citrate) 100 mcg
Choline (as Choline Bitartrate) 35 mg

You might also want to take Potassium, which is found in bananas. All supplements do not carry much potassium as it might cause heart attack ( serious! )

The last one is of course, to get enough sleep. 8 hours of sleep is recommended AT ONE GO. Do not count naps in. 8 hours at night.

Specific to those who are 15.5-16 : You might want to start on anti-estrogen therapy since your plates are already fusing ( maybe halfway thru ). Before that, do a bone X-ray if you want, to determine if growth plates are fused already. ( else you’ll be wasting your money ). You should also seek medical help immediately if you are still VERY SHORT. The window for HGH therapy is up to 16, I believe.

Me: This post is more to show to anyone who is interested at what types of supplement pills are being branded and sold on the internet for the Chinese community. Again, I can’t read what the chinese words say. I do know that the word in Chinese for “tall” is “gao” so I would guess the first product being showns and advertised “GAOMAX” is a product being sold as a height increase supplement. 

From my background and my educational experience, I have a personal bias against non-western medicine which include ideas like homeopathy, aryuvedic medicine, and chinese herbs. However, I only really care about what works. If these ideas and method work, I wouldn’t care a damn bit where they originated. It is just that I don’t believe these oral supplements being sold online are effective. Don’t buy this stuff.  BUT that is just my own personal opinion. You are your own person so you should make your own decisions on what you think is right and good. 

If you want to try out the products, that is cool with me. If you get results and grow taller, that would be even better. I don’t want to stop anyone from buying these products because we should never say that something is impossible or can never work. That would only limit us and keep us from opening up our minds to greater possibilities. 

The website links these products were found from are HERE. The name of the website is Zhong Yao which roughly translated into English as Chinese Medicine or Chinese Traditional Medicine.

There is a picture clip of the types of pills sold below you can see.

While doing my search to find other links and sources which can validate the stories that people have manage dot gain height from using Chinese Traditional Medicine i.e. Homeopathy, I stumbled upon a link which shows what appears to be a real patent written on a Chinese based website which talks about a herbal/homeopathic mixture which can  increase a person’s height. I can’t tell right now whether this patent and document is just a joke, scam, or fake. There is very little I can do since I can’t read or write Chinese. I don’t even have any idea how you are supposed to entree chinese characters in the computers so I am stuck. If it was in English I would be able to do some searching for the sources and creators of this patent.

My Interpretation On This Invention/ Device

If you look at the far corner of the link I provided, it shows that this document was found from the website ChemYQ.com which is a Chinese Database where people can search for chemical names and compounds. From what I found I would guess you can also find Patents created by fellow Chinese.

This the concoction composition and ingredients below found form the source link page.

The present invention relates to a Chinese medicine capable of obviously promoting health development of human body, increasing height of body and promoting brain development. Said invention uses the Chinese medicinal materials of ginseng 0.2-2g, ass hide glue 5-15g, oyster shell 1-6g, turtle shell 0.5-2g as main material, and uses white poria, 0.5-3g, silkworm droppings 0.5-2g and gizzard lining 0.5-2g as auxiliary material. It can be made into capsule, pill and oral liquor.

A clip of the patent information is is placed below. From this link HERE.

Here is the Chinese Translated version of the picture clip above. Can any of you regular readers read Chinese or understand what they are saying?

Me: Recently I posted a post for a patent entitled “Method for non-invasive electrical stimulation of epiphyseal plate growth” and there has been some good response. Tyler told me to get in contact with the patent’s inventor, a Carl T Brighton who I did research on by searching google.

It turns out this Carl T. Brighton is a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania for the Mckay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory. This is the resource link of the page HERE. Here is Professor/Doctor Brighton’s contact information below. He is a MD and a Ph.D. wow.

However that is not what I wanted to talk about. I have worked in academics and industry before, for professors doing bimolecular research in the university lab and for research based companies looking for HIV vaccines so would I would guess that this Brighton guy acted more like a scientific advisor or chief science research officer for the company Biolectron Inc.

This is what the company Biolectron Inc. was doing (from Bloomberg Businessweek website HERE).

What I will be trying to do is first try to get in contact with this Dr. Brighton guy and ask about his research and this extremely old patent he had created nearly 30 years ago. from what I know about patent laws, which is very little, people spent tens of thousands or even millions of dollars to buy patents to protect intellectual property. Most patents have a working life of like 12 years, which after that they lose their power and other people can then look at the “black box’ magic inside. However, there are companies like Apple , HP, and Genentech which have used their lawyers to keep trade secrets and patents from the public eye for even decades by using legal procedure to extend the life of patents longer and longer.

I will also be trying to get in contact with the people of Biolecrton Inc., like the CEO Adam Rudolph Johnson. All I really have to do is type in his name into Linkedin and his profile should appear. These days almost every professional uses and has a LinkedIn profile. Even if he doesn’t work at Biolectron anymore he would have still put it on his CV/Resume for past experience. If I can sent him an email or Inmail, I might be able to get more information on the type of devices this Biolectron company was developing.

On a stroke of amazing, pure crazy luck I managed to find on EBAY many devices being sold that was made and created by the company. Just type the word “biolectron” into ebay and see what pops up.

Here is a picture of all of the devices available for you to purchase, with one that is supposed to help increase your epiphyseal plate in your distal tibial region that is only for $10. A very good deal.

For one of my next posts I am going to try to review all of the devices on sale and try to make an educated guess at which device will work the best and have the most possible height increase ability.

I realized that I have been writing and doing so much research and posting of articles that I have forgotten a lot of the stuff I have researched just a month ago. There is just so much to take in.

I have always had this slight fear that one day I would do a repost on a subject which I have written before and it finally happened.

As I was going through the post list today, I realized that a very recent post entitled “Composition for Increasing Body Height Using Guanyl Cyclase, A Gene Therapy Height Increase Invention” was basically the exact same post I had written about 1 month ago entitled “Invention Patent: Composition For Increasing Body Height – No FGFR3 Abnormality BY Activating Guanyl Cyclase” (under Complete List of Posts #268). This is really alarming to me since this sort of means that I am forgetting important information. When I first posted the article about the possibility of using Guanyl Cyclase as a possible way to increase height, I really didn’t understand what the article was talking about. Now that it is 1 month later I am far more knowledgeable on what is going on but I am astounded at myself for not catching this posting error sooner.

I am going to guess that when it comes to this specific small niche of knowledge and study, I am always bound to come to the same sources, leads, and ideas as people in the past since 99% of all the ideas I have had on possible height increase methods have already been covered somewhere on Tyler’s blog or Giant Scientific or the Make Me Taller forums. However, I didn’t expect that a post I would write about would have already been posted by me which is very embarrassing.

I am going to try from now on to avoid this type of mistake of writing about a subject which I have already done before, unless it is to further elaborate on the old subject, change it, or fill in more details.
