Is taking height boosting pills good for your body 0

It is difficult to increase height by taking drugs to increase height Recently, trying to make children increase height during the summer vacation has become a concern for many parents. At the same time, various high-growth drugs (including height-increasing methods) have also sprung up, constantly popping up, and they are all carrying the banner of high technology. Dr. Liang Liyang, an attending physician in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that because of the lack of necessary medical knowledge, there are many misunderstandings in people's understanding of height, which leads to children blindly taking various height-increasing drugs, but there is no clear effect, or the best time is missed.

Therefore, parents must be vigilant and do not walk into the four misunderstandings. Myth 1: Incorrect understanding of height Some parents judge that their children are short by comparing them with the neighbor's children who are about the same age.

Others are short because they are short, and in order to make up for the congenital deficiencies of their children, they are looking for growth and height pills. In fact, a person's height is determined by both innate and acquired factors. Excluding the factors of disease, generally speaking, if both husband and wife are taller, the child will naturally be taller, but there are very few exceptions, to know whether your child's height is normal, it is best to go to the hospital for the necessary endocrine examination, rather than buying height enhancement drugs for the child to eat.

Myth 2: Missing the best time Although many parents notice that their children are short, they always think that their children are still young and have a chance to grow. The child does not come to the doctor until he or she reaches late adolescence.

It is medically believed that after menarche, the height growth of boys has begun to slow down, and the best opportunity for short manarche has been missed, such as girls have basically no chance of ** two years after menarche. So seize the opportunity, the younger the age, the better the effect, and the less money you spend. Myth 3:

Didn't find ** indiscriminate medication Short stature is a complex endocrine disease, which is closely related to genetics, nutrition, metabolism, nerves, endocrine, etc., and there are more than 300 kinds of it, with a wide variety. There is no all-round growth medicine for all kinds of short stature in the world, and it is only effective if it is prescribed for different people. Myth 4:

Superstitious Belief in Various "Height Enhancement Drugs" and Wrong Calcium Supplementation At present, many of the so-called growth pills on the market are actually some health foods, and some do contain nutrients that promote human growth and development, but like the food we eat daily, it is absolutely impossible to rely on it to cure short stature diseases. In addition, many parents try to give their children more calcium tablets every day, hoping that their children can grow taller. In fact, calcium supplementation alone cannot directly make children grow taller.

Calcium mainly plays a role in strengthening bones and does not directly promote the growth of long bones. The driving force behind bone growth is a growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain.

How can it be useful, height is given by parents. Don't take the medicine casually, be careful that there will be ***.
