No, it will not: A 20 year-old is not growing taller if his growth plates have fused. If not fused, he may grow a tiny bit (past growth charts for him can tell if growth had stopped). If needing to look taller, one can choose properly designed clothing and shoes, and have good posture. Vitamins, supplements, "special" foods, extra exercise, growth hormone, etc... will not change his height now.
