Hi my dear,
You are still on the development stage, where you do not need any supplement to increase height.
Generally speaking, the height depends on:
- genetic factor
- environmental conditions
- nutritional factor
So, at your age, eating healthy together with being more physically involved, can help increase height and be healthy.
All the best!
