Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic. Height is determined both by genetic as well as environmental factors. At your age exercise can help you increase your height. But you should take care that you gym exercises under a certified trainer as overdoing or doing in a wrong way certain exercises can be harmfull for your health. Instead of any artificial supplements you can take a balanced diet rich in proteins and vitamins and minerals. Your gym trainer will be able to provide you with a diet chart which you can follow everyday. Wish you good health.
