Not really: If for some reason you were calcium deficient it may allow you to reach your expected height but not more.The general answer is no. Final height is best supported by proper nutrition, rest & exercise. Women are expected to reach the average of their parents height less 2-3 inches.An x-ray of your wrist/hand can see if your growth centers are open to growth but if they have closed you are finished
