In the heightmaxing community, many hours of research have been conducted to uncover (generally) how to increase human height. Many individuals seek to go the natural route, taking over the counter supplements combined with daily exercise and yoga. Whereas some individuals seek to go down the... not so natural route. As an example, take these regimens from - Extra Chromosome , JustTrynaGrow , Wincel , etc. If you wish to get into heightmaxing, these guides are a great place to start/revist.
As mentioned previously, the regimens above are NOT natural; They are mainly composed of peptide injections combined with oral supplements. Most of which are already being taken by many - Glucosamine, Magnesium, Chondroitin, Melatonin, etc. HOWEVER..... One of the biggest factors that "hinders" height in humans is the amount of Estrogen present. That is why an AI ( Androgen Inhibitor ) is almost always present within a regimen. Some of the most common AI's are Aromasin ( Exemestane) , Arimidex ( anastrozole ) and Femera ( letrozole ) . Exemestane/Aromasin most common. The reason that this is brought up is, this medication is originally designed for female breast cancer patients. It's ultimate goal is to block the enzyme aromatase (found in the body's muscle, skin, breast and fat), which is used to convert androgens (hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogen. Heightmaxers use it to stop estrogen from closing growth plates, which estrogen plays an important role in that.
Regardless of how it works or what it does, it has some side effects. One of which is hair loss. This one is scary because no one can see that your joints hurt a little, but people can most definitely see if you have hair or not. Hair / head hair is important to generally all of the male population, and people certainly don't want to be losing their hair; especially if they are on looksmax.
There have been a multitude of clinical studies conducted on breast cancer patients that have been put on an AI's , and hair loss is most definitely a concern. If you look at this IES study , here , it can be easily seen that 15.1 % of 1058 females treated with Exemestane were found with alopecia / hair loss. It is also well known that AI's widely used in BC treatment (letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane) and tamoxifen are known to cause HL (male pattern baldness) . See this exact study, here.
It's good to note that within the study that was just mentioned, it brings up how to combat the hair loss as well. As it is known, there is no evidence based therapy in regards to this issue. However, topical 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and supplementation of vitamin C and omega 3 fatty acids in a non-toxic dose without leading to any adverse effect on the person appear to be the most appropriate options in the management of this issue.
Post your thoughts below. Do you believe there is a better way to combat MPB / male pattern baldness whilst on an AI like Aromasin? What else can be done in regards to this issue?
Thank you.

( . What happened if you don't mind me asking?
, just massage your scalp every once in a while, also just have a non recessed skull so scalp blood supply isn’t bad, oh and lastly, most women take 25-50mg of aromasin or basically the full dose or more, while we have made it clear that we just want to slightly decrease our estrogen levels so the impact won’t be that bad, also I don’t really care my grandpa has no balding except some hair thinning in the middle of his head and he’s like almost 70 also he has a non recessed skull, and my father who has a recessed skull has severe balding, but since balding usually happens to u if your moms father had it, then I’m good since well like I said my grandpa doesn’t have any balding other than some slight hair thinning, actually blud gets haircuts every now and then
, oh yeah and lastly if you have less estrogen due to AIs don’t worry abt stunting growth, I asked my doctor if having abnormally low estrogen during puberty would affect the brain in any way and he said that since the brain can adapt to anything because of its neuroplasticity it will be fine and growth wouldn’t be brain growth/development won’t be stunted.
