A member asked:

What do you suggest if i am 16 and i'm about 10cm shorter than my dad, what vitamin do i need to grow taller?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
