A member asked:

How much calcium should i stay in a day to reach my maximum height potential?

11 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Nothing specific: At 15 you are near the end of your growth cycle. Supplements of calcium do not increase you growth beyond where it would end up naturally. A balanced diet, rest & exercise supports good growth.
