Hope to grow 1, 2 inches after 30?

Edit Post

I know the growth plates have fused, but gaining 1, 2 inches via other methods would be a god send for me.

I'm 30 years old and am 6'2''. I know I am "tall", but I live in a tall country and am a self-improvement freak, so I will use whatever I can to gain an edge.

So what I am considering is:
- Taking glucosamine + chondroitin every day now (1500 mg) for the rest of my life to get that additional build up in spine.
- Taking MK-677 + K2 + D3 combo for 3 months on and off
- Doing regular stretching and hanging exercises
- Fixing anterior pelvic tilt to straighten my spine
- ... anything else I can do?

Would doing all of this regularly get me 1-2 inches to make me 6'3'' or even 6'4'' tall?

So you are saying none of that works and even straightening obviously curved spine won't give you height boost in spine? Really? How does that break physics then?

You can consider seeking psychiatric help.

Wow, these answers are really rude. I'm surprised. Instead of addressing the proposed concepts you ad hominem at me. Sad.

I don't think it's possible to gain 2inches with medicine and stretches

The spine is living tissue, so it's under a constant cycle of regeneration and with resistance training you can increase its bone density, but at least what I read, it won't grow in length once you have stopped growing.

Go to space ? Lol.

I read a story of an astronaut who recently spent a few months in space. Because his spine wasn't under a gravitational  load for such a long period of time, his vertebral discs could expand to their maximum size and he ended up being up to 5cm taller once he returned to Earth. But eventually gravity will take its toll and he will go back to his original height.



Have you considered wearing inconspicuous elevator shoes?

Also, try improving your posture. If your posture is bad to begin with, you could gain some cms.

Yes, I'm wearing elevator shoes, of course. But I need to get my natural height boost from what is possible.

Try to work on your posture. If it's bad to begin with, you could gain a few cms by doing this.

You're taller than over 90% of the world's males or even more. Even if you live in a taller than average country, your height is stil considered tall. Seriously, your height shouldn't at all be a concern or issue for you. If you want self improvement work on other aspects, strength training, endurance etc
