Hi Punita,
Welcome to HCM,
I can appreciate feeling you have due to your weight and height. please understand biological growth takes place up to certain age. Our height is completed once long bones fuses their growing ends.
There is no reason to be depressed and feel bad about it.
These commercial products do not have any basis of their success and any supplementation should not be taken without medical advice.
1)your height will be determined by genetics.2)Get plenty of sleep.
3) Eat right:Get plenty of calcium (found in dairy products and green vegetables). Calcium promotes bone growth, niacin,vitamin D,good protein (from meat, eggs, tofu or legumes), zinc intake (oysters, chocolate, peanuts, eggs, peas, asparagus and supplements.
4)Exercise your body and Practice good posture.
5) Be confident and Visit a medical professional.
Hope this helps.
Take care
Good Luck.
