There have been a food supplements that helps to increase the height of people. Is this effective? Does height can be improved with drinking food supplement? I thought height really depends on your genes.

height is, i'm guessing, due about 99% in part to genetics ... the small other percent is due to environmental factors and nutrition during growth ... if you didn't have adequate vitamins or minerals, especially calcium, then one's height can suffer ... in women, osteoporosis can also be a big issue ...

I would say the genes my boys will be tall and take after there dad and that is lucky as i am 5ft 3 and he is 6ft 1

But I would say no to a supplement being able to help you grow

my dad's 6'3", and by the time i was in the 5th grade and was 10, i was 5'4" ... and i haven't grown since ... my mom's only 5'2" ... i had thought i was going to be taller, but that apparently didn't happen ...

hm.. i am taller than my mother and my father, how can be this due to genetic factors?
and for the thread starter i would also say no to any supplement for growing taller..
What is your height and your age? maybe you still have time to grow normally so to speak.

If there are supplements like this i never ever take them.Consider the side-effects.It is not worth it.Like montana_4H_cowgirl_allie said at the above post it depends on your genetics.Just Leave it to what it is.
