Melatonin - Height Growth - Potential mechanism of action (?)

[Deleted member 29281]

Since May of 2021 I've been taking Melatonin 1.8 mg each day. Sublingual form: https://www.rossmann.de/de/gesundheit-greendoc-melatonin-spray-intense-18-mg/p/4036581536962

Reason for why I take Melatonin? I had difficulties falling asleep. Melatonin helps greatly to fall asleep.

A few weeks ago a GP measured my height and weighed me. To my surprise he measured 178cm (5'10). I measured myself once more at home and confirmed the 178cm height.

Before 2021 I was 175cm (5'9). I know because I measured myself in 2018 before my septoplasty and was measured by doctors in the clinic.

Not that I am not happy, but why the growth? My growth plates surely are fused in my thirties. And why would Melatonin cause height growth - provided that it's the cause!? Sure, there is some tentative evidence that Melatonin might boost HGH, but with closed growth plates HGH won't make people grow.

I only take Melatonin. (I did take some antidepressants before 2020, but discontinued them at the beginning of 2020)

I am not sure what to make of it...

Did anyone experience something similar on Melatonin? Is this a common "side effect" (although I would call it "nice effect")!? Should I have a talk with my MD regarding this growth spurt anomaly?

also heard fucks natural sleep cycle

Some people mentioned that I had measured incorrectly, but I am quite aware how to properly measure a human's height.

Back in my twenties I was 176cm in the morning and 174cm in the late evening. 175cm median. (Sports and stretching didn't affect that in my case)

Bare feet of course

I cannot explain the 178cm measurings.

I am unsure whether Melatonin is responsible but I cannot think of anything else.

bit of a weird question but do u need a perscription for melatonin

 

[Deleted member 29281]

Where I live, most Melatonin supplements come as spray and are for sublingual use.

Until three years ago "we" Middle Europeans needed a prescription for Melatonin-"supplements". Getting it over the counter in the drugstore is a relatively "new" thing.

 

[Deleted member 29281]

No.

It's over the counter since 2020 or something. Before 2020 one needed a prescription.

isn't that like 10x recommended dose?

Wen interessiert das? Mega-Dosing ist immer das Allheilmittel für alle Probleme. Die Endlösung sozusagen.

 

[Deleted member 21531]

U prob slept like shit before so ur spine was perma-compressed. Sleeping a lot and being well hydrated will decompress ur spine to the max.

 

[Deleted member 28904]

Ive started taking 3mg melatoninper night, is that too much?

Could be an explanation.

 

[Deleted member 29281]

Nah, it's fine. Typical dosages are in the range from 1mg to 5mg.

 

[Deleted member 29281]

Strange experience I've had with Melatonin: 0,9mg didn't put me to sleep but rather on the contrary made me agitated and "aroused". 1.8mg give me perfect 7 hours of sleep. 2,7mg make me sleep 14 hours. I haven't got the guts to try higher dosages. Although it would be interesting to try 5mg. Just to see what happens...

 

[Deleted member 28904]

Nah, it's fine. Typical dosages are in the range from 1mg to 5mg.

For How long can I take it? Days, weeks, months?

 

[Deleted member 29281]

indefinitely

 

[Deleted member 29281]

Oh, and the dreams on that stuff are "hyper".

idk ppl say they get nightmares at 5mg, that's definitely too much

usually 200mcg is therapeutic dose

 

[Deleted member 29281]

I have read that Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM supplement combos can make people grow. The growth effect is only temporary. Apparently some fluid retention at spinal discs.

Not sure, but maybe Melatonin causes similiar fluid retention?

 

[Deleted member 29281]

You get nightmares on 1mg.

It's nightmare stuff, even at low dosages.

 

[redfacccee]

raise your dose bro. 60mg.

 

[Deleted member 29281]

raise your dose bro. 60mg.

60mg is going to fuck your hormonal system majorly ^^

I took 3mg yesterday at 12 and was awake till 03. Should I up the dose to 5mg ?

my dad stopped growing at 42, when from 5,11 to 6’7

 

[Deleted member 29281]

Here is my spray.

 

[Torb]

I didn't grow on Melatonin, but I got visually bigger wrists and ankles. That's quite nice.

Although I don't like to take that stuff. Nightmares on that stuff will make you crazy.

 

[Torb]

raise your dose bro. 60mg.

Bro, you still alive?

 

[Van]

cope thread only thing melatonin will do to you is give you sleepless nights after you stop it

 

[redfacccee]

Bro, you still alive?

yes.

 

[Torb]

yes.

You still taking Melatonin?

Antidepressents plus lack of sleep can heavily compress spine you prolly got good sleep on melatonin and ur spine got better
