it's been well documented that after about age 30 which is typically when people experience their full stature their full height although sometimes there's a little bit of uh wiggle room around that age typically after 30 the amount of growth hormone that's released each night and throughout the day is reduced by about 15% for every decade of Life as a consequence all of the things that growth hormone does like encouraging higher metabolism fat loss the growth of muscle tissue Etc is dramatically reduced as we go from 30 to 40 to 50 and on and on
