How height increases after the age of 23?

Answer 1

Some would claim there are products or shakes you can take to increase your height at any age. The truth is, that's not really doing it naturally (letting your genetics take its course is doing it naturally).

But even products that boast to boost your height after your body is done growing, well, aren't going to work.

You can encourage your full genetic potential. Eat lots of protein, exercise and don't smoke or drink too much caffeine, especially during your teenage years.

At 21, some people still do grow, so you never know.

Answer 2

Maybe. When the doctor measured me when I was 20, my height was 167 cm. I was measured again at 21, and was 168 cm. Last year I was measured again, at 41, and was 169 cm. I have no idea why. I thought that you get shorter when you get older, but I have actually got taller.

Answer 3

If you have a pituitary gland tumor, which causes an imbalance of human growth hormone in your body. This is a condition called "acromegaly". However you only grow further in this condition if it happens before you finish growing - in this case you keep on growing upwards and outwards (you keep growing far beyond the normal age for stopping growing). If the pituitary gland tumor happens after you finish growing, you just grow outwards.

Otherwise growth is unlikely, but not impossible; your body might just be very young for it's age and decide to grow slightly more (if the end plates of your bones have not decided to fuse over yet).

Alternatively, there's surgical leg lengthening.

Answer 4

At the age of 20 your growth centers have likely closed and you are unlikely to grow taller.If you want to know for sure an x-ray of your wrist ; hand can be analysed for bone maturity.
