Hello dear,

First of all, please do not get influenced by any advertisement or health product which claim to boost your growth hormone & increase height...it may be harmful.

Height of an individual is determined by Genetics, Environmental & Nutritional factors and Hormonal factors (most important the Growth Hormone secreted by pituitary gland in brain)
An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the Epiphyses (growth plates) of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 17-21 yrs in males.

So...as you are 21 yrs old now, there is less chance of an increase in height.
An X ray of your wrist & knee joint can be taken to look for the fusion of epiphyses.

Wishing you Good Health.
Take care.
