You R likely done: Most males stop growing taller at 17 &amp; expected height is their parental average plus 2.5 inches.The best aid  for growth is an  active lifestyle, proper rest &amp; a healthy diet. Don't expect anyone to grow taller than their genetic potential.If you want to know if you can grow more, an x-ray of the wrist/ hand can be analysed for bone maturity. If the growth centers are closed you are done

Question 3

is it possible to grow taller after 18?

Accepted Answer

Tough to stop: At 18 years old, your growth plates are still open, so some degree of growth will continue.  The last of the growth plates usually close between 18-22 years of age.  You probably won't grow much taller, but growth is still possible.

Question 4

is it possible to grow taller after 18? for males? i am a 5 ft 7.5" male and just recently got 18. my dad is 6 ft but my mom is 5 ft only.

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: Full height is generally reached by age 18 unless there is delayed puberty.

Question 5

Growth potential: After puberty, most men and women do not experience much increase in height.  The best way to maximize your height is through balanced nutrition, good posture and exercises that will strengthen your back and core muscles to support your spine.

Unfortunately : Nothing.The epiphyseal plates fuse at about the age of 25 years. So theoretically you can still grow. But most people have little or no growth after 17 years. Do not be desperate good things also come in short packages

Question 7

Growing taller: Once your growth plates have closed off in your bones you will stop growing.  There is not drug to change this.   Growth hormone can only be used to increase height while the growth plates are still open.

Question 8
