I stopped growing at 16 (5'8 / 173.5 cm) while my younger friends kept growing and now everyone is taller than me.
Average height where I live is 5"10.5 / 179.4 cm for people my age.
Then 4 months ago at 19 I started weight lifting and eating properly (120 gr protein daily). 2 weeks ago my dad noticed I was taller (I was exact height as him before) and when I measured I was 1 cm taller (after not growing for almost 3 years).
Then I started coping with vitamins and supplements (listed below) to boost my height potential.
Yesterday I measured myself again and I grew another 4mm (will be 20 years old this month).
Now I'm 175 cm (basically 5'9) morning height.
173.5 / 5'8 night height (this was morning height till recently)
Supplements I started taking:
Vitamin D (2500 i.u)
Vitamin K2 MK7
L-arginine (6g)
Melatonin 1mg before bed
Vitamin B
...and others I don't remember
It's worth mentioning that I think most height has been added thanks to exercise and sleep (9/10+ hours x night)
I've always lived a sedentary lifestyle and got no sunlight for 2+ years (sleeping during day, waking up at night) so the lifestyle change was the biggest thing.
I will also start stretching more often to decompress my spine and improve my posture.
What can I improve?
