Hello, I am a pharmacist from Oklahoma.
This depends on how old you are. If you are not between 11 and 18 years of age, then there is nothing you can do to affect your height. Very few people grow (vertically) outside of this age range. Proteins and other supplements will not help you as height is physiologically determined by bone length and not muscle length. Your bones (epichondricytes) are programmed by your genetic code only to grow so much for so long. In cases of severe dwarfism or other genetic deficiencies you can get a prescription fo a recombinant product called growth hormone (gH). If you are not genetically deficient you can optimize your bone growth during this growth peroid by supplementing nutrients like calcium with vitamin D. These are minerals your body will need to make strong calcifications in your bones. Also, avoiding caffeine and and other products that tend to leech these minerals out of your body during this period will help maximize your bone growth.

i'm 15 and yeah, i exactly how you feel- and it's not a nice feeling , but unfortunately not a lot can be done about it because it's mainly genetic. but what are you in a rush for? i'm not gonna start getting worried till i'v almost stopped growing (@ about 21 years old) because you never know what might happen. so embrace your height and don't frett because you'v got plenty of time to grow, maybe even taller than your friends! (s'wat i hope anyway :D) but apparently... i'v heard that a certain growth steroid can be taken which makes you grow taller BUT they have hormaones in them which are from males and so the side effects of them may be like, facial hair and man-stuff, y'know. so i'd avoid it or alternatively, you can eat some good meat (red) because that has a protein in it that enhances growth. one of my friends is a swimmer and eats LOTS of meat because of her swimming diet and stuff, and is really quite tall for a 14 year old (5"7)- it's ridiculous. and i'f you'v noticed all or most of champion swimmers are tall. but just bear in mind that you have at least 8 years before you stop growing. just be patient

I'm not that sure you can eat a suppliment to make you taller. Otherwise, i would be 7ft by now and the stupid basketball team would accept me. There are vitamins in certain foods that help you grow stronger. For example, Milk is good for health teeth and bones.
