Hi, I was wondering if there are any vitamins or anything I can get from the drug store that may be able to increase bone size (to increase height)?

What is your age? How tall are your parents? You wont be able to increase bone length but you can increase bone density. Gelatin is fantastic and cheaper than most (some worthless) calcium pills. Gelatin is derived from cattle bones and are prescibed by many 'alternative' doctors to people suffering arthritis. It strengthens bones, teeth, and nails. Most calcium pills are derived of calcium carbonate(seashells) of which about 3% can be absorbed. Calcium citrate is about 16% absorbable and the best calcium is effervescent calcium, at about 70% absorbtion. Gelatin is over 80% absorbed. As far as increasing height, no, there is no magic pill.

Bone density increase will be helped by Calcium Glutimaine and your branched chain amino acids, but density increase comes through controlled stress on the bones and connective tissues resistance training properly is the only way to stimulate bone density increase. As a personal trainer one-on-one and online I have seen as much as 60% increases in bone density in many of my clients. Work at it and then it makes sense to add supplementation if you are not doing this already.

Ok your NOT going to grow my friend(height), you may shrink though. We all can benefit from taking vitamins/min pills also flax seed pills are very good. About bones, calcium/magnesium pill would help, the magg helps to absorb the calcium. In all pills and foods it all about absorbing the most out of what we take or eat.
