By that I mean:
If I take a lot of calcium chews, drick a lot of milk, and eat lots of calcium-rich foods, will I become taller?
Thank you to those who answer! :)

It certainly will help the straight of your bones, however I am not sure on the height issue ... I am afraid that genetics plays the major role, and nutrition might help but has not the determining role.

A Tum a day provides enough calcium for a womans body. Too much calcium can increase the risk of getting kidney stones.

Yes, but only if you haven't reached puberty . girls don't get much taller when they are teenagers. I drank and I drink 1 1/2 litres of milk a day and I stopped getting taller when I was 14!

No, it won't make you grow. You'd need growth hormones for that. If you are drinking a lot of milk, you probably don't need the supplements.
