i just read a response that guys should not take iron.. why is that? also is there a reccomended supplement for me to take to grow taller?

Answer:

Men don't have monthly periods where blood is lost so they don't need a steady iron supply like women. Excess iron in men is associated with heart attacks, gallstones and liver problems.

Human growth hormone might make you grow taller if your physician determines your growth is actually stunted. Your height may continue to increase until about age 20 or even later.

growing taller is not a food thing its a matter of heredity, i dont know about the iron situation though.

You should take iron supplements only if you are diagnosed with low iron levels. Iron can build up in your body and become toxic. My fatherinlaw has high iron levels, has to give blood twice monthly to try and lower it. Women may be iron deficient, but men rarely are.
