No. Your height, like your hair and eye color, bone structure, etc. is determined by your genetics and is unchangeable.
Anyone who claims you'll be able to increase your height with exercise, stretching, medications or supplements is uneducated and obviously does not understand basic human physiology.
Regular exercise and proper nutrition will help you reach your full genetic potential, but the blueprint is already written and the final outcome limited to what nature has given you.
Be happy with what you have!

None of those infomercial get taller potions work. They are a crock of shiiit! If you are past the age of 21, what ever your height is, will be for the rest of your life, unless you get osteoporosis in old age and get a few inches shorter. Desperate chinese in China among others have resorted to a drastic medical procedure wherein they break/saw your shin bones in your legs and attach stretching braces to both legs on the break. So as the leg bones mend, they turn the screws on the braces to stretch the bones over a period of several months. It can add a few inches to your stature but is said to be painful and so very difficult to endure. But if you are that desperate, i guess this is your only hope to add inches!

You can't actually get taller, but you can stand taller if you improve your posture. Try Yoga. Good luck!

Like the character in Sienfeld, when Mickey was too short, he got lifts for his shoes. They add an inch or two. Good Luck ! :)

if youre not 18 yet you may still grow some. otherwise. the answer is no, i would think not, short of racking yourself to 4 horses and having them stretch you. hehe
