Hi
Welcome to HCM
Increasing of human height depends upon the bone grow and bone grow depends upon closing of occification center of bone.Usually occification center closes between the age 18 to 21. Calcium is the basic mineral for bone .
For better advice about calcium and Protien kindly send us report
Total Serum Calcium
Vitamin D3
Vitamin 25 OH
Serum Protien Levels .
Can you grow up to 6 feet need also family history of height ( Genetic History).
Chances are very rare because you are very close to your closing of your occification center. Some yoga are claiming to stretching of bones. So you can contact to yoga specialist and Endocrinologist for medical management if require some growth hormone . Growth hormone will better help than calcium for height.
