Hello
Fusion of all bones take place at the age of 21 years ( 19 YEARS in few cases).
After this only surgery is an option for enhancement in height .
Stretching or other exercises not able to increase in height .
There are so many claims and counter claims and ads that claim that they can increase , but no any scientific proof present .
Money alluring ads present.
I find this answer helpful
