This is so bogus: Growthflexvpro
Bone growth stops when estradiol levels get to a certain level. That is why most women are shorter. In males, T levels increase and then more T–>E2 stops bone growth. Males who grow fast and early with lots of testosterone will be shorter. Some guys are short, very strong and hairy as a extreme example. Guys who are very tall are often not very strong and have slight facial hair. Once bones stop growing, that cannot start again. So things need to be done when guys are quite young and manipulation of T, E2 and growth hormone is not something that doctors are going to do. With juvenile growth hormone deficiency, the problem is clear cut and obvious.
Some males just have their sex hormones go wrong around 19-22 years of age.
Any blows to the head prior to this? Can damage the pituitary.
