What Are The Suggestions To Increase Height?

Hii.. it is said that height does not increase after 22-24 years of age. But I find one of my friends who is 28 years of age taller by 2-3 inches in few months. And she is not telling me secret behind this. I also want to increase my height, I am 28 years and 5 ft.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
If it is true that he has grown after 28 years, it might be due to some genetic variation, rarely one in ten thousand may have inhibition of growth till that time and and have the growth at once at that age.
There may be some over the counter drugs for growth, but with no certainty, side effects. Some who want to take risk, among them again one in ten thousand may get good result.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods, to try your luck.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
