Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The growth of our body depends on the secretion of growth hormones. It is the one that regulates our growth. Our body development is almost complete by 18 years of age. After that, it is very hard to obtain. In the market, there are several growth supplement products available but, their benefits are doubtful. They enhance only the nutritive value of the body. Some research says that a diet rich in protein and calcium helps improve bone length or epiphysis development. Doing yoga asanas like Tadasana every day with Shatavari Churna (Shatavari, Ela, Sharkara) 0.11 oz twice a day with milk may help improve your height.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
