Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Thanks for writing to us.
Unfortunately at this age , end of long bones have already been fused , so it's not possible to increase height.
Height depends on many factors mainly genetic. Your height is already 5 feet 8 inches that is a quite good height.
I suggest you not to get influenced by various advertisement claiming increase in height. As you will disturb your normal body's hormonal physiology taking those medications and won't achieve anything.
Grow your carrier at this age.
Hope I am able to solve your query , if you have any further query , you can ask me.
Stay Healthy
