No: He sounds very healthy now. Vitamins will not increase height.

Growing Up: Genetics control height, not vitamins. You can make sure his nutrition is complete with good sources of proteins and calcium. But there is no 'vitamin' to use to make one grow more than there genes have programmed for them.
