A member asked:

Is their any possibility to increase height after the age of 21 in males? and if so could you give me some advice.thnx

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You cannot: As a 20 year old male, your growth is likely done and your bones growth plates closed. There are no supplements or hormones you could take that are going to make a difference at this point in time. You need to accept where you are at and get on with living your life at your current stature.
