Does proper stretching, and certain stretches realease growth hormone?

I have read in many places that proper stretching, and certain stretches realease growth hormone, can anyone varify this. Cheers.

I have heard that but I don’t know that there is any truth in it.
I think what it is is that when you stretch you feel taller because you are not slouching anymore, you know what I mean? Like when you don’t stretch your body feels achy and crappy.. and so your body tends to slouch or slink. When you stretch you feel great, your body is healthier and stretching helps good posture. Therefor you feel taller and the even in appearance you can seem taller since you are not slouching. Do you know what I mean? It’s hard to explain in writing.

    I have taken a bazillion courses in exercise, anatomy, and physiology. I’ve never heard of this in my life. If you want to take growth hormone, get an Rx. Most of the stuff you buy on the internet is bogus or dangerous. To get it to come out naturally, there’s nothing extra you have to do!
