Hello!
Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

I read carefully your query and understand your concerns.

I am sorry to tell that there is no way to increase your height after 18 years old.
An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the epiphyses of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 16-18 years in males.
Considering the fact that you are 22 years old your bones had already fused and neither food supplements or specific exercises can have an obvious effect in increasing your height.
Just accept your height and try to feel comfortable with it.
Stay away from all kind of products that proclaim to increase height after 18 years old.

Hope it was of help.
Kind Regards!
Dr.Rovena Murati
