At this age to increase the height nothing is successful to give uniform effect in the body.  As far Harmons are b considered at this age can consult endocrinologist.

Tweeking your body  for aspirations of short term may give you long term side effects or a lot more to pay for. If you dont have a physical or emotional limitation due to current height, please be proud of yourself. Need not tweak.
