I'm a 19-year-old guy, and I'm about 5'4". I've been looking into ways to grow taller and came across something called SBL Rite-Hite. I'm curious about how I should be taking it. Could you suggest the right dosage for me? Also, any tips on how I can increase my height at this age would be really helpful.
