Welcome to healthcare magic community forum..
According to science, height increase only occurs till the completing of puberty.. Any changes in height after puberty is very uncommon. Based on this fact, I don't feel that you can increase your height any further. Exercises and postural corrections can cause small changes in the height relatively. However, if you are expecting to obtain an absolute increase in height, its not possible... I recommend you to think twice before buying any products, that promise to increase height.

there are no medicines to boost up your height,all the ads claming this are misleading and far from reality,understand:
you have your own identity and you must be proud of it.
height and personality are not same,personality does not depend on you height,it depends on your confidence.
donot develop any inferiority complex of your natural figure,
REMEMBER YOU ARE UNIQUE AND ONLY ONE.

dear friend, do not worry. You can increase your height through natural means like eating lots of calcium rich food like milk, milk products, h eggs, fish etc. Medicines will not boost your height as they are not scientifically proved. Stretch exercises like swimming, jumping, skipping, toe touching and hanging on bars will help. Keep trying and you will definetely succeed.
