Welcome After reading your post, I would like to inform you that height of a person depends upon many factors, including genetics factors. At the age of 20, normal adult height has been already achieved and cannot be increased by medically accepted methods would also advise that you should not go height increasing products available in the market as they have more side effects in comparison to benefitsI hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help. Take care Thanks.
