My son is 13. He is 4 feet 10.5 inches. For ensuring growth in height can I give him some specific supplements? My husband is 5.11 and I am 5.4.

Your son is just 13.So why are you worrying and thinking of supplements at this age for height increase.Wait for 2 years atleast and meanwhile concentrate on his diet and activities.He should do daily cycling for 30 minutes and swimming in summers.Make sure that he is active and for that you have to control his weight as well as diet.Make sure he doesnot gain weight and for that give him home made nutritious food like green vegetables and fruits.
