Not many options work at that age,
you should've tried when you were younger.

Swimming, Playing badminton etc will help, but only when your bones are at a growing stage,
At 21, you're pretty much done.[Offtopic : That rhymes :p]

take some growth hormones if u know the risks!
also,pituitary stimulation using homeo treatments may help(if u believe in alternate medicine)

@pritfj: You could suddenly shoot up even uptil the age of 25. If it's not heriditary then you should have some hope. And try some growth hormone thingies as well (now's your only chance of doing that). Make sure they don't have any side effects though.

yes ppl can grow upto 25 years.
if you are very very very very rich buy your self a 6 month vaction to the Internation Space Station.( as there is very little gravity, you will grow few inches)

else
swiming, and skipping(sounds girlish?? try doing 1000 non stop) i did and i still do.

Dont go fr dese surgery and medical aids as told above..!!

Humans do gain height till the age f 25.. Its just dat the growth rate declines with age...Although the majority of the growth takes place below 20 bt still u r jst 21..so dnt loose hope.. Try swimming, cycling and othr kind f sport activiies.. Even if u dnt gain a few extra inches, your body will certainly benefit in sm way r d oder.. So be positiv nd plan a schedule fr urself..

Nd yes, 5'2" is nt bad.. :)

If you are determined to go for supplements den go fr Amway Products !! Gud Luck...!

amway thing are crap :evil:
I think ur thinking of ur height is not enough because,you have not got any real life tensions.ppl are not free to think about all these unless they are kids or someone who dont have any tension or stress :rolleyes:

still,dont get those ayurved height increase pills etc that sucks.
only few millimeters is what the so called "height" growth upto 25 yrs means.
ur option imo,is either be satisfied with ur height.else go for the other 2 options(GHT or homeo )
Best of Luck :)

Don't be like a R.sawant
I won't recommend any drugs/medicine that play with the natural chemicals of the body you will be impaired for years and will become phycologically and physically dependant on the drug/medicine.Most doctors in India don't know sh!t about how to withdraw from these medicines(duh calling it medicine when it has effects similar to drugs like heroin).
If you withdraw too quick you will develop Withdrawal symptoms
I consider herbs and homeopathy to be a different case.

hanging really works...i was just 154cm when i was 17, and i started hanging on a bar nd relaxing muscles for max time, then have some pull ups nd repeat again as many times every day. And for gods sake, now at 20, im almost 172cm!!!
and dun do other excercies, especially weigh trainings. It wud maybe shorten u by 1cm or so. Trainers at gim may du know exact idea what to do and they might just say to have weigh trainings.

And have lots of protein food. And do take a natural tablet "Spirulina" which is available in most medical shops. Spirulina is a plant nd world's richest concentrated natural source of protein. It wont cost u moe than 20/- for a 10 tab strip. Take 2 or 4 everyday.

Would you guys please stop comparing your age/height with him??

If I am not mistaken then your height stops growing when you hit 18 right?

Anyway the trick that worked for me was mostly with Cycling.This was when I was a teenager & used to raise the Bicycle seats a bit higher than usual & then this allowed me to stretch my legs a bit more & also made them more flexible.Do whatever you have to but don't go on any pills or such crap.They would do more harm then good.If you ask your doc too then he would recommend you normal activities & a balanced diet.Basketball is another good way.BTW just to let you know I had a guy who was 5ft 3inches & was an ace in our college basketball team.So don't be disappointed for what you have.What counts it how you make it your strength.

This Message is from my Friend
All the Credit goes to my Friend, he is in Some Other Forum

I am copying and Pasting his message
read this
there are lots of medicines actually
if u go to any homeopathic doctor , he will give u a treatment but mainly a very slow one which will waste time as well as money and also needs a lot of patience
i am telling u a treatment
there is one medicine called heightex in homeopathy
start taking that according to what is written on its usage

but the main medicine is Baryta Carb 200
start taking three doses of this medicine everyday
remember only 200 power of this medicine , not 30 or any else
start taking both the above two medicine and u will see the effect in two months
here are some precautions :
1.) stop eating onion during this treatment
2.) there must be a gap of atleast half an hour before and after medicine intake of eating anything
3.) try to avoid fried things , eat maximum amount of fruits.
4.) also last but not the least exercise regularly
stretch ur body by hanging with some weights with ur feet
do not take weights with ur shoulders
if u continued gym or start taking weights ur body will start expanding instead of stretching.

ya this medicine will increase ur appetite
liquid form is more rapid than tablet
try to take mother tincture ( Q) which is the fastest and best and little bit costly also but best

If you are at a age of 17-18 use this medicine as directed (you can gain 5-6 inches easily)

if you are 22-25 use this medicine
also try a chinese YOKO which also helps a little
You can gain 1-2 inches but you have to work very hard
have to exercise regularly and also your diet should be increased
you must have a BALANCED DIET and dont only eat one or two things
this medicine will automatically increase your diet
but a person himself have to take a lot of care
and try to fill your expanded diet with lot of fruits
like pappya (dont eat banana too much - it can effect you suffer from cought)

Also I Personally suggest to 1st take 1 dose of this medicine after a week increase it to 2 dose a day
and if this suits you take 3 but not more than 3 dose a day

Many a times if a person is not healthy, than he cannot manage exercise like hanging
also if he tries to hang his hands increases instead of whole body
so for those who are not Healthy download this ebook and start exercising

^^ Yeh koi height show karne ka thread nahi hai, aur apke six feet ka kya woh achar dalega :neutral:.

Btw this is what i did when i was 19,

1. I jumped everyday in order to touch my room ceiling.
2. I ran for 3 min in my nearest stadium at full speed at 5 mins intervals.
3. I played basketball, badminton
4. I stretched from ring/pole.
5. I slept 9-10 hrs (important point)
6. Run eating chole
7. Drink plenty of fluids, orange/mango/glucose.

I was like 5.9 at that time, all those helped me gain 1.5 inches, also made me fit.

The most important thing after all that hard work is to rest, always get good sleep at least 8 hrs.

here people are even 6.2"

when someone is expecting help from you, instead of helping you are showing how great you are, what is the sense :mad:

if you cant help than dont interfer in someones matter :mad:

There's nothing like accepting yourself as you are. Be happy as long as you are healthy. I advise against treating your height condition as long as you are healthy.
