Unfortunately once you have reached the age of 22, there is nothing you can do to increase your height. The bones have a growing center that closes up after the teen age years, and no further growth can occur. There are no medicines that can change this, I am very sorry to say. You can use shoe lifts and maintain good posture to give an appearance of greater height, but you will not be able to add additional inches.
