I’m currently taking 1 mg of anastrozole daily. When I asked an AI about this protocol, it warned of two critical risks:
1. Critically suppressed estrogen (likely <15 pg/mL), blocking osteoblast differentiation → impaired bone mineralization and accelerated bone loss.
2. Premature growth plate closure (6-12 months earlier than natural timing) – not during use, but upon discontinuation due to estrogen rebound.
The AI advised immediate tapering to avoid irreversible damage.
I countered with a study where a 14-year-old took the same dose + exogenous HGH for 2 years, achieving +12.5 cm height. The AI acknowledged this but emphasized:
→ Success required supraphysiological IGF-1 (500-600 ng/mL) from HGH to bypass estrogen-dependent osteoblast pathways
→ Without equivalent IGF-1 elevation, bone formation would be compromised
We compromised on a modified protocol:
→ Reduce to 0.5 mg/day
→ Add Ipamorelin if my IGF-1 is <300-400 ng/mL
→ Strictly monitor E2 (target: 20-35 pg/mL) and IGF-1
Questions for the community:
1. Is the AI’s claim about osteoblast differentiation failure at low E2 (<20 pg/mL) valid and what to do about it?
2. How real is the rebound-triggered growth plate closure risk?
3. Would this protocol genuinely maximize height with moderate risks?
4. What’s the best protocol to maximise height in your opinion?
