My daughter will be 17 in oct. height: 5 ft 4in; she want to grow 2 more inch. any supplements, diet, tips, safe products , exercise will help her grow?

No: At 17 she is most likely finished growing. Even if she wasn't, no supplements or diet is going to increase her height. Her height is genetically influenced.

Height: No, not really at age 17. Consider well balanced diet, less caffeine, 7-8 hours of sleep.
