Brief Answer:
sorry, not possible...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I'm sorry but there is nothing you can do at this point. A man's bones usually stop growing after the age of 26 and most men have already reached their final height at a younger age. Even if you were younger, hormonal treatment would not be right or recommended because your height is unlikely to be caused by hormonal imbalance (although it cannot be excluded as an acquired late-onset disorder). If you have been growing normally and your growth rate suddenly ceased then perhaps you should talk with an endocrinologist for appropriate testing. Even if a hormonal disorder is revealed with testing, you won't be able to increase your height... so do not be mislead by phony ads.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
Kind Regards!
