Growth plates close at 16-18. Most people here are 18+. OverThe standard issue I've seen in most heightmaxxing stacks is that the majority of them don't approach increasing height growth from a wider lens. They usually consist of only HGH and AI (aromatase inhibitor), or growth hormone secretagogue and AI (aromatase inhibitor). They rarely consider all the pathways to increasing height growth in the body, which leads to inconsistent results. However, in this guide, I'll discuss all the pathways to consider when formulating your heightmaxxing stack to maximize height gains.
How to build the perfect heightmaxxing stack
What does it have to include?:
#1: HGH
HGH is the most significant thing to have in your heightmaxxing stack as it can keep your growth hormone levels and IGF-1 levels very elevated for long periods. We all know that this is the main compound of heightmaxxing but it does have a drawback. Similarly to taking exogenous (injectable form) testosterone, taking exogenous (injectable form) HGH will suppress your body's natural production of GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone) and subsequently HGH. So to maximize our gains, I recommend taking a GHRH analog alongside it!
#2: GHRH analog (Sermorelin, mod GRF (1-29), and others)
Most people don't typically use a GHRH analog when they have HGH because they believe it's redundant, but that's false! Using a GHRH analog is very important to maximizing height gains, as it will help counteract the suppressed GHRH function that's caused by taking exogenous HGH. It will help keep and elevate your natural HGH levels, which allows your IGF-1 levels to reach new heights! However, the only issue is that GHRHs are only effective when somatostatin is low, but somatostatin is only low during a GH pulse. To increase the efficiency of the GHRH analog, we have to use a GHRP alongside the GHRH analog!
#3: GHRP (GHRP-6, GHRP-2, Hexarelin, and others)
Using a GHRP and GHRH analog together causes a synergistic GH release, as the GHRP will heavily lower your somatostatin levels and create the perfect environment for the GHRH analog to do its work and increase your GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone) production. Since we are already using HGH, we don't have to dose the GHRP + GHRH analog multiple times throughout the day, only once before bed so that GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone) production is high during sleep.
#4: Aromatase Inhibitor (Arimidex, Letrozole, Aromasin)
Aromatase inhibitors are essential to maximizing height growth because they give you more time to grow by delaying when your growth plates will close. But, to maximize its effectiveness, you have to get consistent blood work to see if you are falling in that 15pg/ml and lower range as that’s the estrogen levels that allow your growth plates to stay open and don’t overdo your dosages (use an EOD or E3D dosing schedule) as that will lower your IGF-1 levels too much. Also, once past 18-19 years old, I don't think it's something you must use because the majority of healthy males in that age range have closed growth plates for the most part besides from their vertebrae. If you are in an unusual case where your hormones have been suppressed for whatever reason and you have open growth plates in more places than your vertebrae, try it. I will soon make a thread on why aromatase inhibitors aren't as bad as everyone says, with studies and evidence to back it up.
#5: Thyroxine (T4)
Taking thyroxine is a very underrated heightmax that not many in the community talk about or even have used before. Research has shown a correlation between elevated thyroid levels and increased height growth. However, improperly dosing and consuming thyroxine can be harmful and can lead to having an overactive thyroid which comes with a laundry list of side effects. I can't recommend taking any dosage above 25mcg a day in the morning, 30 minutes to an hour before a meal or drink due to health concerns. Getting bloodwork done and seeing where your thyroid levels currently stand will allow you to see if taking T4 can even help you at all.
#6: Somatostatin Inhibitors ( Pyridostigmine, Alpha GPC, CDP-Choline)
Somatostatin inhibitors are very useful for enhancing your GHRH production and multiplying the growth hormone release that's caused by using the GHRH analog + GHRP combination. I specifically recommend using the ones listed as they have the most research proving its effectiveness. The downside is that they can also be dangerous when used incorrectly and shouldn't be used daily. For the pyridostigmine, start at 30MG before bed then after four weeks, titrate up to 60MG. Only use it 2-3x a week on nights with the most rest. For the Alpha-GPC or CDP-Choline, pick one to use and take about 1-1.5 grams before bed and use it only 2-3x a week on nights with most rest.
#7: Cortisol reducers ( Ashwagandha, Lemon Balm, and others)
Having chronically elevated cortisol levels has been known to significantly reduce HGH levels and skeletal development. Taking a cortisol reducer 3-4x a week before bed alongside the rest of the stack will help maximize your height gains as it will create a calm environment where your body can secrete as much growth hormone as possible without disruptions from your stress levels.
#8: Lifestyle changes
One component often forgetting about when heightmaxxing is the lifestyle changes that also have to happen. You have to have a good diet that doesn't comprise too much carbs but not too little either as being on either end of the spectrum will reduce your HGH or IGF-1 levels. You have to be eating high protein (1.4 to 1.6 x per kilogram of bodyweight if athlete) as that increases IGF-1 and HGH levels. You have to have a healthy body fat percentage (around 15% or lower) as obesity patients have demonstrated blunted HGH releases. You should not do 2+ hours of heavy endurance exercise every day as endurance training blunts the bodily release of HGH and reduces its resting levels. You have to sleep at 9-10 PM to get the most opportunities to secrete growth hormone.
Conclusion:
Hopefully, after reading all of this, you will have learned how to make an improved and more optimized heightmaxxing stack that considers more pathways of bone growth and possibly leads to better and faster results.
