Hi.. Welcome to healthcaremagic community forum!!!
Based on the scientific facts, growth in height starts to cease by 18years, and no further growth is possible after 25years. Though growth hormone supplements are effective in increasing height in children, its not effective(neither are any other supplements) in increasing height.
Relatively small increase in height can be possible after 25years of age by correction of spine deformities(if any), through exercises or interventions.
