All our heights are genetically predetermined .You still have growth left in you. Maintain a good healthy lifestyle,good balanced diet and regular exercise .There is NO supplement medically proven or authorised for increasing in height of a person. So, don't fight nature.However, there is no harm in going for a complete hormonal check up so that you are assured that nothing is wrong with your hormonal levels.
Next Steps
To consult a Physician if in doubt regarding the hormonal levels in the body.
Health Tips
Accept the height which is genetically predetermined. Do not fall for quacks who promise false things and land in trouble.
