Height growth 3": I have not previously heard of that happening at your age. Height growth usually stops at age 20-25. Was this growth spurt new? If so see your doctor about this.

Postural: As an adult it is unlike that you have increase bone length. But with additional supplements it is possible that you have improved you core strength and improved you postural to give you additional height. In addition to increasing bone density, the supplements you are taking help support muscle strength and stamina so they fatigue less quickly causing less slouching and poor posture.
