Canย thyroid hormonesย orย thyroxineย increase your height?
The truth is that beingย hypothyroidย โ which means having low levels of thyroid hormones โ has been linked toย shorter stature.
Ideally, you would like to have your thyroid hormones in theย upper normal rangeย โ not just under the normal range.
If you want to increase your height and you are still growing โ check your thyroid hormones.
The other thing you want to do โ is toย lower estrogen levelsย โ since estrogen has been linked to the closing of the bone structure, which can inhibit growth and keep you shorter than you could grow.
Growth hormoneย is also very important.
If you are a teenager, make sure yourย thyroid levelsย areย optimal, and you are havingย enough sleepย andย optimal nutritionย in order to maximize yourย growth potential.
