What are your guys' thoughts on this? Any personal experiences or anything? All I'm going off are studies and what others have said. Please bone me if the studies are ass or anything is just completely wrong
Height
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
36 prepubertal kids with growth delay (27 boys and 9 girls) + 22 untreated controls (13 boys, 9 girls)
16 boys were given a low dose (0.12 mg/kg/day), 11 boys a high dose (0.22 mg/kg/day), and 9 girls a low dose (0.10 mg/kg/day)
Growth velocity doubled;
Low-dose boys: 4cm->8.6cm/year
High-dose boys: 4.3->8.9cm/year
But this doesn't really help manlets
since the subjects' bone maturation speed also doubled, aging 2yrs/yr, and not increasing final adult height.
Also, other studies contradict this one and show 0 benefits or reduced adult height.
Here's one of them: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1133662/
17 short boys, 8 untreated and 9 with 0.1mg/kg/day
Didn't help final adult height or growth velocity, but at least it didn't increase bone age.
Most notable effect was their balls shrinking
I don't know any personal examples or studies from people running it with AIs, HGH, etc. I'm too stupid to conclude from that whether or not it's still viable for height growth. From what I know, it seems worthless, but others swear by it; if that's you, please educate me: can AIs work synergistically to increase final adult height?
Side Affects
Increased bone age
Liver toxicity (Not a huge deal at much lower dosages)
Less natural test
Acne
Bloat
I've seen people say it masculinizes your skull; I don't think there's much concrete evidence for that though. For height alone, Anavar seems kinda useless; the extra growth velocity would maybe make it more enticing as a purely short-term benefit if there was some other stuff to go along with it (e.g actual facial masculinization or something). I would only value it for the muscle gains, but I don't think it's really worth the money, side effects, and risks of mom customs since you can get plenty of physique halo naturally
Height
Oxandrolone in constitutionally delayed growth, a longitudinal study up to final height - PubMed
Twenty-seven prepubertal boys and 9 prepubertal girls with constitutionally delayed growth were treated with the anabolic steroid oxandrolone for 12 months and followed until they reached final height. Sixteen boys were treated with a mean dose of 0.12 mg/kg.day [low dose (LD)] and 11 boys with...
