A member asked:
What foods can i eat or drink to grow (height wise) as fast as i can. do you know any trusted supplements that i can maybe take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No supplement needed: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. In rare cases, growth hormone is approved for use in younger, extremely short kids.
