Hi,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
I have gone through your details and i appreciate your concerns.
As per your query answers are-
There is no salt in medical science which can effect height.
The only therapy which can help to gain height in modern medicine is growth hormone therapy.
Trials have shown that-
The lower dose was 33 micrograms per kilogram of body weight a day was administered to children's a fifth of those getting the low dose reached a final height well within normal ranges.
But these injections have to be taken under strict monitoring of endocrinologist.
A per your query pills are scam.They have no documented proofs(recorded by valid and certified agencies).
Suggestions-
He is 17 excellent age to pick height follow what i am suggesting he will be tall very soon.Don't waste this golden period on scam pills etc.
Give him yoga training .He should practise these asanas every day for 45 minutes.
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
Hasta-Padasana (Hand-To-Feet Forward Bend Pose)
Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand)
Adho-MukhaSvanasana (Downward Dog Pose)
Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)

calcium supplementation can be given along with easily digestible protein and amino acid supplements.
Along with these asanas ask him to swim daily for 30 minutes.He can grow tall till age of 21.
