is testosterone increase height - #23298
I am 16 and worried about my height. I’ve always been on the shorter side compared to my friends, and it's kinda bumming me out, honestly. My dad is pretty tall, and I thought maybe I’d inherit that gene, but not so far. I read some stuff online that says testosterone can affect height but I’m not too sure about all that. I went to my doctor last week, and he mentioned my testosterone levels are normal for my age, but I feel like maybe I need a boost or something? Like, is testosterone increase height? I mean, would taking supplements help me grow taller? I don’t wanna mess with my body too much, but it’s just been frustrating. I’ve heard some rumors from friends about how athletes or bodybuilders do it to get taller, but I’m not really wanting to turn to that. Wouldn't that just be risky? Can naturally increasing testosterone levels through exercises or diet help with my height? Or is it just a myth that is testosterone increase height? I really wanna know if there are legit ways to tackle this!
