HI Ana. Your concern is absolutely true. Hormonal imbalance can not cause more problems with height unless it is a growth hormone problem. At the age of 17 you can still gain height. For this much needed is a good lifestyle. Completed calm sleep, regular exercises, running etc. Height enhancers are not a well researched products . They may contain something which no one knows except the producer. and can have lots of side effects too. Height is many times decided by genetics wherein one can not help. Good height has helped many - not all and at the same time less height has not come across success of many.
