Supplement is of mainly two categories:-
1. Safe supplements 2. Unsafe supplements
1. Safe Supplements:-Safe supplements are those which contain only different type of nutrition which are consumed by our body for daily purposes. Because of the Deficiency of the essential nutrients one may not achieve their maximum height .As nutrients is required to optimize the growth process we may take it as in the supplement form in a certain quantity.
• Calcium and Phosphorous –Most of the teenagers are deficient in calcium which is needed for bone growth, increasing its density and make it strong.
. Calcium phosphate crystals precipitate and attach to a lattice support as bone grows, forming a calcified extracellular matrix. Bone forms in two patterns, compact and trabecular. Compact bone is dense.
->If your body does not get enough calcium from food, you can lose calcium from your bones. This will make your bones weaker
Calcium absoprtion is affected by both levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. So we have to take phosphorous in a certain amount which make absorption of calcium maximum may be equal amount or half of calcium amount
Daily Recommended Intake for Calcium
Age (years) Calcium (mg/day)
1 - 3 500 mg
4 - 8 800 mg
9 - 18 1300 mg
19 - 50 1000 mg
51 or older 1200 mg
• Vitamins – Vitamins are natural substances found in most of the foods we eat. You need vitamins to live and grow taller.
.
• Vitamin A strengthens bones leading to height growth. It gives your immune system the boost it needs to support height gain and fight infection.
• Vitamin B is necessary to maintain muscles. Bananas are rich in vitamin B. These are available as supplements.
• Because of Vitamin B6, you would be able to absorb the fat and protein you need to produce growth hormones. Also, it relieves stress in muscles
• Vitamin B12 helps in creating RBC(red blood cell).RBC provides energy for our body
• Vitamins E and K regulate the oxygen in blood and clotting so that growth hormones can travel better in your bloodstream.
In short if you have deficiency in vitamin, take multivitamin Supplement Publisher: ashish71620 - 1:34 AM

How to increase height naturally
1-> Hanging: Do Hanging exercises 30 minutes every week
OR 4-5 minutes every day for the best result
Types of Hanging
1-> Hanging: Do Hanging exercises 30 minutes every week
OR 4-5 minutes every day for the best result
Types of Hanging
v Hanging Twists
Grab the chin up bar with hands close to each other. Use your legs to turn from side to side and twist your trunk with every motion. Do it in a slow and controlled manner for one minute at a time. You can repeat it after a break of few seconds.
v Hanging Splits
Hold the bar with hands shoulder width apart. Now push your legs as far apart from each other as possible, in any direction. Push them to the sides once and push them to the front and back once.
vHanging Chin-ups
Chin-ups not only make your arms, neck, shoulders and upper body stronger,But also trigger the release Intense workout. It’s decompress the spine and hence make you taller
This exercise strengthens the abs and straightens the lower back. Hang from the bar and raise your knees to your chest. Curl your pelvis and take care not to arch your back. Round it and raise your knees and legs as high as possible, until your legs nearly touch the bar.
Start cautiously and slowly with these hanging exercises but turn on the intensity once you get the hang of them. Maximum results can be gained by performing enough hanging exercises after intense aerobic sessions. This combination works best because is makes use of micro-fractures in the bones caused by intense workouts.
2 :-> Cycling
Can Cycling increase height?
Cycling can increases height indirectly i.e. It cannot affect the bone directly by exercise but it increases HGH (Human Growth Hormone) of a body which in turns helps in increases height. It strengthens your entire cardiovascular system. This can help further in HGH and nutrients to circulate more freely in your system. This is aerobic exercise tones your muscles. This includes your legs and back which this strength during critical periods of growth
How cycling can be done?
First, raise your handle bars so that you ride in an erect position with your feet flat on the pedals.
The next step is to make sure your leg fully extends when you pedal. Move your seat height so that you can extend your leg, with your feet flat on the pedal, but maintain an erect position. You should ride your bike in this position for some time until you are very comfortable riding in this manner. Then, mark the position of your seat and raise it one quarter of an inch. This will help you further extend and stretch your legs. Make sure you still pedal with your feet flat on the pedal.
Each time you become adjusted to this new height, raise the seat again. Each time you raise your seat, your will begin training your leg to stretch further so that your foot sits flat on the pedal. When you finally reach this goal, you will know that your leg has grown.
3 :-> Swimming
Does swimming really work for increase height?
Swimming is a great exercise to increase your height. If you are in your growth phase it can definitely increase your height. It also reduces the risk of backbone deformation, improves posture, and increases fitness level. Swimming just 3-4 times a week is great for your health and body.
Swimming normally will increase your height as anytime you stretch your spine and body properly.
->If you're already an adult then you still might gain some extra height from a fraction of a centimeter to an inch depending on your condition.
The preferred swimming style for gaining height is the Breast Stroke.
Breaststroke is one of the easiest swimming styles for beginner difficult stroke in. It is a swimming style where you swim on your breast. You do it by striking your legs in one way and at the same time stretching your arms the other way. This is why it will really stretch and lengthen your body especially the spine.
4 :-> Sprinting
Sprinting: - Sprinting means running as fast as you can for a short distance 50-100 meters, there are two ways in which sprint benefits the growth of longer legs.
Sprints (interval training) help to temporarily boost the amount of our growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, which in turn helps to initiate growth.
Sprints are one of the best ways to stress your leg bones very quickly. In fact, if you only had time for one leg exercise activity on a given day, then doing a few sprints would be the best choice for you
When you sprint at high speeds there are micro fractures in your leg bones. These micro fractures heal extremely fast (a week) resulting in bone remodeling and growth. As per research a normal healthy bone remodels after every 3 years and whereas micro fractured bone will take only a week to heal remodel. With high speed sprinting a lot of micro fractures take place in the leg bones and the healing process starts very quickly. Thus high speed sprinting is considered to be one of the best exercises that can help you increase your height. Sprinting helps in increasing the length of leg bones
Do this exercise 4-5 times daily for maximum Benefit. Don’t push yourself because this will lead to too many fractures which can’t heal and may lead to injury
INCREASE HEIGHT
About Increase height :-
All the other 24 vertebrae are permanently movable and thus will never be fused. These 24 vertebrae are the 7 cervical (neck), 12 thoracic (back of chest), and 5 lumbar (loin).
Located between each of these 24 vertebrae are cartilaginous pads called disks. The thickness of the disks determines the length of the spinal column and directly influences the height. There are totally 25 disks, their combined length accounts 25% of your total height.
Since these disks are non-fusible cartilages, they can constantly grow thicker under the stimulation of growth hormone during a lifetime. The thicker those disks are, the longer your spinal column is and the taller you become. Even each disk grows only 0.25 cm (0.1 inch) thicker. Hence, you can still grow 0.25 cm x 25 disks = 6.25 cm (2.5 inches) taller
Cartilages Growth
Even if most of your bones can’t grow much longer, the articular cartilages that connect many bones in your body can still grow thicker . Apart from the disks of your vertebrae, both the distal end of your Femur (bottom of your thigh bone at the knee) and the proximal end of your Tibia (top part of your shin bone at the knee) can still grow 0.5 – 1 inch. This gives your lower body another possible 1 – 2 inches in extra height.
Most of the growth plates in bones in our body are fused at the age 25.After that height increase become too difficult because of the growth plate fusion .If you are under 25 you must try to increase your height
