Suggest Medication To Increase Height?
Hi Dr. Samuel Im a young man who is concerned about his height. im currently 5ft 9 and turning 20 in about 7 months. My dad is also 5ft 9, but my grandfather and uncles are quite tall at 6ft 1 and above. I play basketball and I was wondering if I have potential to be growing to my uncles respectable heights or not?? is it an environmental thing or entirely genetic??

Hi,
Having this height is not less.
There might be chance of increasing height for one year.
After this there is less chances of increasing height.
As you play basket ball, this will help increasing your height.
Go for height increasing exercises like, running, jogging, swimming, cycling etc.
Take high protein diet.
Ok and take care.
