increase in ur height only depends on ur bone if they are fuse or solid then naturally you cannot increase your height go to doctor and take an x ray of ur knee .doctor see ur x ray and surely will tell your height is inrease is possible or not Above case is apply only on leg after 21 try hanging exersise so it will stretch your spine because some of its bones never fuse or fuse at age may after 25 you can increse your height 2-3 inches by only stretching you spine .vitamin D and calcium supplements are also used at the same time

Although one cannot predict that at how much time you can increase your height but it is surely possible that you can increase couple of inches more even after the age of 18.. You should do height increasing exercise and follow the tips available here: http://hikpik.com/blog/ . Also try height increasing insoles based on acupuncture therapy. You can have these insoles from here: http://www.hikpik.com/

When I was younger, I went to modeling school. I think I was 19 years old, but I had stopped growing when I reached the age of 12. At modeling school, they gave me 'stretching' exercises to do in order to increase my height. It was as simple as standing straight and trying to pull your head up as high as you can, not using your hands or anything, but just using your muscles to stand and stretch your back bones. I actually gained an inch to my height that way! I gave up after about a month because I realized that I would never be tall enough to be a high-fashion model because I started out being only 5'2" tall! I stretched myself to 5'3" but, after I gave up, I went back down to 5'2". You need to keep doing these exercises every day for the rest of your life to maintain the extra height you achieve.

As you get older, your spine can compress. Yoga can bring you back up to your natural height. But taller than that? Nope...

scientific experts would say that it could be, specially those who offer supplements that they said will stimulate your growth hormone. i don't know how the process will go but i am skeptical with it. why i said so, because this what gonna happen in the development of human bones. at the end portion of our bones there's a structure that they called as "epiphysis" and on top of it is what you called a "epiphyseal plate". this is a thin disc that regulates the growth of our bones, but of course with the help of growth hormone, and will remain open until your fraternal genes will develop you as to what you are. but most often this epiphyseal plate closes or disappears by twenty years of age. so now you can see the logic once it disappears, right?

Hi yadav8797, Well that is very strange to hear that you can increase your hieght after the age of 21, I wish I knew about that when I was 21. I think really you stop growing when you reach the age of 21, I know I stopped growing when I was 10 he he he. Tamara

As I know the person could grow until 21 especially for the Man and the Woman have their height matters and it will stopped at the age of 18 also and I think it would help if you would have a vitamin intake and it is specially for the height......

your height is genetic. you can't naturally increase it. some people develop late so maybe after 21 you might grow but you can't change you're height. you are what you are. sorry
