Hi XXXXXX,

Thanks for writing in.

Height can be increased till puberty. In males there are chances to increase height till 21 yrs of age. Although the results are not great, back stretching exercises can help.

Let me explain you stepwise.

Is height problem genetic in your case? Because usually if short height is present in family, other measures hardly help to increase height.

Still we can try measures mentioned below, as height can be increased till age of 21 in males.


1] Daily stretching exercises for 30 min. along with cardio exercise is must. You would need to stretch your back so hanging from a bar and swimming are some of the things you should be looking at. Exercise triggers growth hormone release and helps in growth.

2] Have 4-5 small frequent meals instead of 3 major meals. Meal should have more of grains, proteins vegetables and fruits. Avoid junk food and carbonated drinks.

3] 7-8 hrs of sound sleep is also must.

There are no allopathic medicines which can improve the height unless a deficiency like growth hormone is diagnosed.
Do not take stress, which can hamper growth. A healthy mind makes body healthy.
I hope I have answered your query. In case of any doubt, I shall be happy to help you.
Best regards,
Dr. Neelam.

Hi XXXXXX,

Thanks for writing in.
Somatotropin refers to growth hormone. It is prescribed only in cases where there is evident deficiency of growth hormone in patients.

No need of specific drug. You take Proteinex powder with milk two times a day.
Proteins are great for growth. I hope I have answered your query. In case of any doubt I shall be happy to help you.

Best regards,
Dr. Neelam.
