View allI'm really eager to increase my height and I'm aiming for around 6'1''-6'2''. Is getting HGH injections a safe or effective option for me? Also, are there specific yoga exercises that can help with height growth? I'm really curious and would appreciate any advice you could offer on both these points.
HGH injections are typically only prescribed for medical conditions related to growth hormone deficiencies, and using them without supervision can have risks. For natural height growth, focusing on yoga poses like Tadasana, Surya Namaskar, and Trikonasana can help improve posture and flexibility, which may support your growth potential. It's always best to consult a doctor before considering HGH therapy.

If we swallowed insulin the digestive enzymes in our stomach would break it down before reaching our bloodstream. Therefore, at this time, all insulin must be injected into our body.
