Dear Suneel

Unfortunately, height increases only during puberty. After the age of puberty, the ends of bones (which is responsible for height) stops growing.

There are lot of quacks and websites claiming to grow height. As a doctor, I am not aware that any of these treatment do help.

So, sorry to say these options like pills etc don't help.
