Growth pills are nutritional supplements designed to provide vitamins, minerals and amino acids while growth plates are still open. They are not the same as prescription hormones.

Growth plates first

Bones lengthen at growth plates. Those plates typically close around age 23. That's why growth pills are aimed at the growing years—not adulthood after plates fuse.
