Wow... there's a LOT of misinformation out there. No drug will make you grow taller.... your DNA says how tall you will grow.
Milk helps your bones to be healthy and strong as you grow, but it won't make you taller.
Growth Hormones help you develop faster, but they should typically not be taken by anyone who isn't already fully grown unless a doctor feels it's needed.

No pill can actually force you to grow taller than your DNA says you will, although some things can stunt your growth and make you shorter.

However, if you're writing fiction, who's to say you couldn't make up some space-age chemical that alters your DNA? ;-)

People still within the growing age can perhaps add a few inches by eating a balanced diet and leading an active life. A nutritious diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy, cereals, meat, and plenty of water will aid the natural process for enhancing height. A good and proper night’s sleep is also essential for the growth process. Taking part in active sports along with some stretching exercises can have a cumulative effect on human growth. There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.

1. Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You’ll be surprised that how much of “Height” is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture.

2. Second, you can create a “Taller” effect by following some smart fashion techniques. People can easily add another inch or two of “illusionary height” by improving their dress coordination. For more input on human height, you can follow the link below:
