I called Rachel and told her to start Ethan on Novexa that week. She was skeptical and I didn't blame her, but she agreed to try it and send me updates along the way.
Month 1 - nothing visible happened. No growth spurt, no dramatic change. But Rachel said she noticed something - Ethan was sleeping deeper. Easier to wake up in the morning and more awake during the day, and he stopped tossing and turning at night.
That matters more than most parents realize. Deep sleep is when 95% of growth hormone is released. If your child isn't reaching deep sleep consistently, nothing else matters.
Month 2 - Rachel texted me a photo of Ethan standing next to a door frame with a pencil mark from August and a new one from November. The new mark was noticeably higher.
She wrote: "Is this real or am I seeing things?"
It was real. His pants were getting shorter, his sleeves were pulling up, and the sneakers she bought him in September were already tight.
Month 3 - I measured Ethan at his January checkup. He was 5'3. Almost two full inches in three months. I checked twice.
His growth velocity had nearly doubled compared to his previous two years. For a 13-year-old boy who had been tracking in the 15th percentile for height, this was significant.
All five steps to growing taller were actually being supported by Novexa - and it showed.
