HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Unfortunately it is not likely that any supplement or medication would add any additional height.
Height is mainly determined by hereditary factors.
During childhood and adolescence there is a area at the end of the long bones (arms and legs) that is involved in adding bone to increase length and height.
It is called the epiphyseal plate.
At the end of adolescence this area changes and no further bone growth is possible no matter what medication or supplement is used. For females ,the growth period ends usually by age 16 or earlier.
I hope this helps to clarify this for you
