How To Increase My Height?
18, male, 180 ibs, no medical conditions, allergies or anything like that. I am 5'7 and want to grow taller by 2 inches at least, my parents are 5'10 and 5'3 respectively, is it likely my growth plates are still open and I'll achieve my target? Should I take HGH or other height growth supplements?

Hi,
You can still increase your height up to 20 years.
Take high protein nourishing diet.
Go for height increasing exercises like running, jogging, swimming, jumping ropes and cycling.
You can take calcium and multivitamin supplements.
Ok and take care.
