Hello dear
I understand your concern
There are various factors which determine the height of a person.
Height of person depend on the genetic makeup, growth hormone, Environmental & Nutritional factors.
Fusion of epiphyseal plate of long bone occur at the age of the 20-21 year.
You have already 23 year and it is not possible to increase the height.
There is no medicine that increase the height.
Wear high shoes, proper sleep, good posture, proper sleep and stretching exercise will helpful.
Take balanced diet rich in proteins (like meat, fish, and poultry) which contain essential amino acids
Only last option is surgical intervention like bone grafting.
But I never recommend this to my patient because it is cause serious complication.
Do not take any commercially available product.
Hope this may help you
