If it wasn't so tightly regulated by the body's complex mechanisms maybe we could all grow taller. I don't even understand how everyone is growing so much taller every year. Even guys with short parents.
On a controlled group study, the final height of MID-PUBERTAL guys (important) who had idiopathic short stature and wete treated with GH+AI was on average 3.8cm (1.5inch) more than the untreated group. And all of them were treated for more than a year.
Meanwhile late into puberty dudes (who are most of the guys coping with such info) can only cope because the body just won't allow the growth they want (2-4 inches or even more.)
Im sorry for this depressing post but tbh I didn't go even 10% of what I would go if I was fully in.

TL;DR: You can do almost nothing about your height.

What is it?
dhea, it technically doesn’t magically “give you height”, what it does is it restores your intervertebral discs (the average persons intervertebral discs start to decompress over time, not allowing them to fulfill their height capacity), it was proven that this height increase can happen at any given age, but its also proven that taking too much of dhea can cause it to suppress your intervertebrals even more (especially as a teenager)

No im pretty sure if you correctly do it+ maintain proper posture (near perfect) at most times you can keep that 2 inches of height. Ofcourse overtime your height will decrease due to gravity but it’ll be far much less pace.

After teenage years if u repeat it what will happen? Like what are the side effects
youre not supposed to take it during teen years, it will suppress your height growth and fuck with hormones, but taking it will increase the length of your intervertebral discs (increasing height 1-2 inches) this retard brian doesnt know what hes talking about, if you keep good habits they will remain at the increased size.
