There is scientific evidence that glucosamine sulphate can make a person taller 2-4 millimetres but that was in a 4 week period.
If a person took it for a longer amount of time would they grow more? Would it make a difference if the person has open or closed growth plates?

Quote from: Android on March 09, 2018, 08:14:09 PMYou gain some height regardless of closed growth plates, since what it does is expand of your spinal cartilage. Here's the study published in 2002.
The amount gained is so small that you're better off wearing lifts. I don't find it appealing to buy a lifetime of supplements for a couple millimeters unless you're already having joint and back problems.
I have heard people say that they have grown an inch or more (something like 1.25 inches) by using it long term but under a year or two. Which is what led me to make this thread, though it is all anecdotal (other than the studies showing a few millimeters).
