The movie Gataca showed a man who wanted to grow taller to fit the profile of the one he was pretending to be. The pain and suffering lasted for several weeks to months and involved rigorous physical therapy in order to learn how to walk all over again. Apparently that science fiction movie is not far from reality. There are individuals who suffer from the I am too short syndrome and get convinced by some surgeons to have their shin bones broken so that they could grow more bones thereby increasing their heights. If they only knew that there are now growing pills available that spares all from the break, pain and growing process, then they would not have had to go through the excruciating pains.

The world of television is filled with the growing pills wonders that are advertised with the most beautiful 10/10 girls who finally get the man of their dreams. These men were always in the background and ignored by the beauty until they took the growing pills and in an instant, thanks to the magic of cinematography, the man miraculously grows taller and ‘captures' the girl, and they live happily ever after.

There ...
... are pills and then there are pills. Genetics still rule the day, as one doctor stated. No one can expect to belong to a tenth generation family member of 4'11 average height to miraculously grow to 6'1 in a matter of months, some advertisements claim weeks. The point is, the right pills help, but not those advertised that promise the world, those are not the right pills.

Most of the growing pills or vitamins with growth factors contain high levels of Vitamins B1, B6, & B12. There are also added amino acids and nutrients like lysine and chlorella growth factors (CGF). These actually promote growth in children and teenagers for these vitamins and nutrients provide the essential factors that can build and enhance the development of the muscles and bones. The amino acids released by these vitamin supplements will help the body to cope with the energy demands to make the bones get longer and the muscles to get stronger and leaner.

Now about growing pains, are they real? Yes, they can be real, especially if the body is growing at a rapid rate. There are pains in the joints, the arms and the legs. Some develop low grade fever for a day or two and then the kids start eating more and more. Some who experience a slow or gradual growth hardly feel the same pains although some do feel the soreness. It is those who get to shoot up to two or three inches within a month who suffer the most. Bad news is that no matter the vitamin supplements that should give them relief, they still feel the pains. Once they reach full growth vertically, the vitamin supplements and the food intake should be controlled for the growth could now go horizontally.

As for the question if growing pills as the cause of growing pains? There is no scientific fact that can support this premise. For one thing, no growing pills will increase the height of a teenager to two to three inches in a month, those are the genes working, not the pills. For another, a teenager will never gain the height as advertised if he or she does not carry the genes. However, they can help boost the body's health and because of the health that it promotes, it allows the body to grow bigger and taller. So yes, they do help.

There is one particular brand of growing pills I am aware of that is really popular because it contains all the necessary ingredients that grow taller pills should have.
