I want to increase my height

Question

Asked for Male, 17 Years

Hi! I'm 17 years old (just turned 17 this May) and I want to increase height. My last measure was I was 5"5-5"6. I'm from a family that is not that tall, yet I don't wanna lose hope. I want to increase my height to at least 2-3 inches. What can I do? Imw taking Multivitamins and exercising and stretching regularly. Can hanging exercises help me as well? Can melatonin aid in my growth? (I chose melatonin because I also have problems sleeping. I only sleep 6 hours a day and I want to sleep longer but my body clock won't let me.)

Every body has a limit to his/her height which is determined genetically. To reach that max height you are already taking vitamins and exercising regularly. You height will continue to increase till 21 to 23 years of age. You need to sleep as per your biological clock only. Don't worry you are on the right track. You need not worry anymore.
