Question Dear Doctor,
I have just turned eighteen years old and have so far reached a height
of 6 foot. My father says that at my age he was still only 5"10 and
ended up reaching 6" by twenty-one. My brother is twenty and has grown
half an inch in the recent months (from 6"2 to 6"2"1/2). My question to
you is do you think I will continue to grow in the same fashion as my
father did and brother is as I am still quite insecure about my height
(trivial I know as I am already relatively tall by most standards)? Also,
through my frustrations I have recently (in the past two months) began
to take a herbal supplement 'Growth Hormone booster' (with half an inch
success) but I am concerned they will have an adverse affect in the
long run and will cause my growth plates to close earlier than usual. I
would be extremely appreciative if you could advise upon my situation.
Kind regards
P.S. Just in case you require this information, I eat a healthy diet of
five pieces of fruit and vegetables a day and plenty of water.

Answer Hi John,
Males still grow at the age of 18. Chances are you will still grow, especially since your dad and brother still did at this age.
John, never take herbal pills without consulting your Doctor first. Pills don't help, they only cause damage. Please stop it now, and let nature take its course.
Also John, 6 feet is beautiful height there is no need to worry, they will all be after you ;).
Stick to your healthy diet, you are doing great.
