Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
I am sorry to tell that there is no way to increase the height of an individual after 18-20 years old.
An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the epiphyses of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 16-18 years in females.
Considering the fact that she is 25 years old her bones had already fused and neither food supplements or specific exercises can have an obvious effect in increasing height.
She need to accept her height and try to feel comfortable with it.
I would suggest to stay away from all kind of products that proclaim to increase height after 18 years old.
The only way to increase height after 18 is surgery but it is a very complicated surgery ,very expensive and complications can happen.
Hope it was of help.
Let me know if you have any question or need any clarification.
Kind Regards!
