Concerned with height issues

2025-10-05 14:33:48
I am 16 year old and will become 17 on 10th October 2025. I am 5.2 feet tall and recently I have found out that I am deficient in vitamin d3. My vitamin d3 level is 35 ng/ml. My doctor has recommended me to take caldikind vitamin d3, magnesium hydroxide, zinc sulphate, calcium citrate tablet. I have stopped growing since 1 and above year. Can I grow still? What are some recommendations which can help me grow with my full potential height?

The final height of an individual will depend on various factors like gender, ethnicity, parental height, nutrition, genetics, etc. Usually girls height will be average of both mother's and father's height. Growth usually stops by around 16 to 18 years once the epiphysial fusion of long bone is completed.
