dear jeff,please dont fall for fake supplements which assure increase in height.
the height of the person is mostly decided by their parents height.the growing plates in the bones stop growing in length by the age of 16-18 yrs. so you may still add a couple of inches by doing exercises and having a balanced diet rich in proteins ,calcium and vitamin d.dont fall for fake supplements.
