Genetics: Your height is already predetermined by your genes. What you can do at this point, is avoid thinks that might stop your growth. So the best advice remains, eat healthy, exercise, avoid drugs, alcohol, tobacco, etc. If you feel that you need additional supplements to your diet, add a multivitamin.
