Flaxseeds are a source of omega3 and fiber and are useful as antioxidants and good for immunity and may not contribute much for height gain for which you need more of proteins and a healthy diet and exercise.

Flax seeds are known to bring down cholesterol , I have no idea whether they lead to increase in height . Take high protein diet , drink lots of toned milk and milk products like curds and lassi, do stretching exercises. Girls do gain height after 19 years , do not follow the data that shows girls stop growing tall after they get their periods.
