View allI've been wondering if there's any medication or supplement that might help me increase my height. I'm currently 55 inches tall and 21 years old, and I'm hoping to grow about 12 inches. Is this possible, and do you have any advice or recommendations?
At 21, your growth plates are likely closed, making significant height increase challenging; there's no proven medicine or tablet to increase height in adults, but some supplements like Growth Factor Plus, Height Max, or vitamin Dcalcium may help maintain bone health, although results are not guaranteed and individual growth potential may vary.
