I stopped growing at 16 years old and 6-foot even. Over the past couple months since I turned 20, I've started growing again a little and have gained half an inch on my height. I've also been having pains in my hips, which my doctor says are growing pains from my epiphyseal growth plates.
This will probably be the last time I grow in my life. I've always had a baby face and wish it were more "manly." I know, we should all love who we are and accept ourselves, and all that crap. Oh well. I see this as my last chance to experience any masculinization and am hoping there's something I can do to help my biology along.
<b>So, are there any supplements that may help improve the changes I see while I'm growing, before my boyish mug sets in like cement--forever?</b>
From my understanding of testosterone, free testosterone is responsible for the characteristics which people attribute to high testosterone levels--those being physical, like a defined face, and behavior, like competitiveness. Isn't that correct? Should I be looking for something that increases my free testosterone by minimzing estrogen conversion (e.g. a non-prohormonal anti-e)?
I'd really appreciate some educated responses.

In case anyone is interested, I've found a scientific article on aromatase inhibitors (anti-estrogens like 6-OXO) used for height growth. Lots of great information within the article and its links.

Yea... boosting T and GH could do beneficial stuff. Lifting, diet and cardio will help things naturally.

I would not play with hormones if you are trying to increase your height.
Just eat a proper diet and keep up with some good compound lifts.
