Hello,
Very frankly speaking,height can not be increased after 21 years of age because epiphyseal plates which are found in the long bones are fused.
Once these plates fuse,height can not be increased.
There is no medicine which can increase the height now.
All the ads which claim to increase the height are farce and frauds.
Thanks
