Hello dear,

Please do not get influenced by any advertisement or health product which claim to boost your growth hormone & increase height...it may be harmful.
An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the epiphyses (growth plates) of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 16-19 years in females.
Considering the fact that you are 26 years old, your growth plates had already fused.
Under such condition, neither food supplements nor specific exercises will be effective in increasing your height.
Just accept your height and try to feel comfortable with it.

Take care.
