Growth Supplement: Save your money, you're not going to grow any further in height, at least. Your growing years have passed.

Basics: Any gain in height would require that your growth centers be open. A single x-ray of your wrist/hand can be examined for "bone age" and if it finds your growth centers closed, no more height is possible. Males generally close their growth centers between 16-19 so at 21 there is little chance you could get taller whatever you do.Save your money.
