Question
Is it possible to increase height by injecting growth hormones? I am 20 years old and only 150 cm tall. I’ve heard that growth hormone injections can help increase height. I’m in Chengdu and would like to inquire about which hospital can perform this treatment?
Answer
Growth hormone is a hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that promotes body growth. In animals and humans, its chemical composition is protein. However, the chemical composition of auxins in plants is indole acetic acid. Growth hormone can indirectly promote the formation of bones and cartilage, thereby promoting the growth of bones and cartilage, leading to an increase in an individual’s height. In addition, growth hormone also affects intermediary metabolism and energy metabolism, promoting protein synthesis and increasing the absorption and utilization of important elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, etc. At the same time, growth hormone can inhibit the breakdown of sugar and accelerate fat burning, shifting the source of energy from sugar metabolism to fat metabolism.
