There is no proven measure to increase your height at this age. All the marketed products are probably making false promises.
Accept what you have rather than falling prey to fraudsters

Hello. Please do not waste any time or money in above. The growth of height is due to the physes- growing end of bones- which is responsible of increase in length of long bones. The physes are already fused when you were 18- so the height will not grow with medicines no matter what you try. The only way to increase height now is surgery- and I will not recommended surgery for cosmetic reasons as the risks outweight benefits- unless you are willing to accept a 9 month rehabilitation period and are motivated for this. The technique is called ILIZAROV BONE LENGTHENING. Please discuss with an orthopaedic surgeon. Dr M Vashishtha FRCS, www.dr-mv.com
