it's possible if your sleep before was shit
My sleep on Melatonin is complete shit due to it causing me RLS.
My sleep on Melatonin is complete shit due to it causing me RLS.
I am very meticulous when it comes to measurements.
but what is the science behind it?
did you go see a doctor ? RLS seems unbearable
Yes, I got stuff for RLS prescribed. L-Dopa, Pregabalin etc.
I don't know. It fucks with major hormones and hormonal axes.
absolutly wrong your such a fool melatonin in the body is only 0.1 maybe even lower and your putting 100x in your body you dont think the side effects will be dire? dm me next time you do that so i can put a sausage inside your mouth while you sleep
That's why it's called "high dosing".
Why are you mean to me?
I don't know. I might grow even further if I take higher doses.
Update
youre taller in the morning. u probaby just remeasured urself at a different time
No, measuring always at the same time. 15min after getting up.
What proof do you require?
2cm gain is still there....
Melatonin does not directly make you grow taller — but it can indirectly support normal growth under certain conditions, especially in children or adolescents, by improving sleep and supporting hormone balance.
1. Melatonin’s Primary Role
2. Indirect Link Between Melatonin and Growth Hormone
3. Pediatric Use and Growth Disorders
4. Animal and Experimental Studies
5. Caution with Supplementation
Bottom Line| Situation | Melatonin’s Effect on Growth |
|---|---|
| Poor sleep or irregular circadian rhythm | May support normal growth indirectly by restoring GH secretion |
| Normal, healthy child/adolescent | No additional growth benefit |
| Growth disorders (GH deficiency, etc.) | Only supportive — not a replacement for GH therapy |
| Excessive or inappropriate use | Might disrupt puberty or hormone balance |
Have u grown since thenThe short answer is:
Let’s unpack that carefully:
Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland, mainly at night, that regulates sleep–wake cycles (your circadian rhythm). It doesn’t directly stimulate growth like growth hormone (GH) or IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) does.
- Growth hormone (GH) is secreted in pulses during deep sleep, especially in slow-wave (stage 3) sleep.
- Melatonin promotes deeper, more restorative sleep, which helps your body release GH more effectively.
- So, if someone has poor sleep or disrupted circadian rhythms, taking melatonin could help restore GH secretion patterns, indirectly supporting growth processes.
In short:
Melatonin → Better sleep → More GH release → Supports normal growth
- In children with growth hormone deficiencies or delayed puberty, melatonin is sometimes studied as an adjunct — mainly for sleep regulation, not as a growth stimulator.
- Some research suggests melatonin might modulate the hypothalamic–pituitary axis, slightly influencing hormones like GH, cortisol, and prolactin — but these effects are mild and context-dependent.
- There’s no strong evidence that melatonin supplementation increases height beyond what genetics and nutrition allow.
- In some animal studies, melatonin has shown growth-promoting or bone-protective effects, possibly due to antioxidant and hormonal influences.
- For example, it may support bone growth and density by stimulating osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) and reducing oxidative stress.
- However, these effects are not proven in humans to translate into taller stature.
- Overuse of melatonin in children can alter puberty timing by affecting gonadotropin release.
- It’s best used short-term for sleep issues, under medical guidance.
- The doses used in supplements (1–3 mg for children, 3–5 mg for adults) are typically much higher than natural levels, so it’s important not to self-dose chronically for “growth.”

So while melatonin can help your body grow properly by ensuring deep, restorative sleep, it doesn’t make you grow taller beyond your natural potential.
Ain't no way, it's safe to say that at 30 every last possible growth plates has been fused for at least 5 years
Yes
I don't know.
So 2cm from Jan. 2024 to Jan. 2025, and how much from Jan. 2025 to now
0.7 cm.
Ok that's fine
