just start with 10-20 mg and keep it for a year, also take biotin to minimize side effects and check your liver before starting and month after and you are good.
accutance lowers IGF-1 for 10-20%, but after 187cm i dont think height matters more than good face.
wait until growth plates finish to reap all benefits of height, then do accutane for face, u need to think in the long run to maximize
Literally started when i became 187 lol
Doesn't lower free test so you should be good, but I'm not sure about igf-1. I'm also on accutane but lower dosage
Just checked NIH and there are studies that showed that igf-1 is decreased on accutane, fuck man might need to hop off and just be an acnecel for the rest of my life
From what i've read its only if the dose is very high and used for a long time or if ur very young.
That's true but accutane also makes you less stressed and happier which could make your lifestyle and sleep better. Those also increase height
Dude. You're only going to be lowering them for a few months max. Taking accutane is 100% worth it if you got bad acne
I'm 15 currently but I'm only on about 20mg a day, not sure if this fits the categories for igf-1 decrease
True, I mainly just have scarring right now so I'm hoping it disappears in the near future. I've been on accutane for a month now but took a short break due to liver function issues.
Yeah accutane is worth it
Thanks for that study man low-key bene scared af of the side effects of accutane, I've seen no changes in my mental health but I think most of that is bs placebo
Most of the mental issues are caused by people feeling depressed over acne or feeling like accutane isn't working.
how tall are you? in cm better
yes of course. but I need perfect skin to the september when I will move to the capital of my country and go to the uni. that's why I think that it's better to do accutane now than being acnecel in the uni full of good people and being maybe 1 cm taller than now because now I'm growing very slowly or maybe even almost not growing. thank you for answer bro
and how tall are you now?
187/almost 6'2 at 18
but it lowers dht, also very necessary. it also was proven by studies
good
177cm, mom and dad are both around 6ft

Hopefully my growth plates aren't fully closed yet, heard stories about people's who's closed at 15 and just praying I'm not one of them

how old are you btw.
Yeah, if anything its a small to neglegable decrease, shouldn't be doing too much for my heightShort-term isotretinoin treatment decreases insulin-like growth factor-1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 levels: does isotretinoin affect growth hormone physiology? - PubMed
Isotretinoin therapy may have an effect on GH physiology, and further studies are needed to understand this association.
some studies show that it lowers igf-1, some shows that it doesn't so if we make it in middle - we can pretty much see that it lowers igf-1 but not by much
15 and 3 months
Is this true?
177 cm isn't really short tbh, i was like 173-174 at this age, ending as 181 cm, but my dad it 178 and mom is like 157 or smth. You will end up like 183-188 i think.
Yeah I low-key hate the uninformed retards on tiktok talking about if your 5'9-5'10 at 15 it's over for you, they have no clue about what they are talking about. Unfortunately it is quite over for my friend who's 4'11 and nearly 15
