SERMs are looked down upon but also looked up as an angel depending which scenario you apply it to. SERMs are praised during PCT, but when you start talking about SERMs during puberty, that starts becoming an issue. ALMOST every SERM shows to be a partial or full agonist in bone and growth plates, with an exception to Tamoxifen. Tamoxifen acts as an antagonist and has been shown in multiple studies to increase final predicted height by up to 10cm, EVEN in high estrogen male bodies. Issue is, there was a rodent study that many on looksmax.org have made misinformation from which said that rodents at supraphysiological doses of tamoxifen caused longitudinal growth retardation. FIRSTLY, rodents respond significantly different to humans regarding many drugs, including SERMs such as tamoxifen. SECONDLY, the doses were EXTREMELY HIGH compared to what any human took in trials. Tamoxifen has proved to help significantly with predicted final height and SLOW skeletal maturation, contrary to what the rodent studies showed. This makes it logically plausible that Tamoxifen SHOULD be taken in almost every heightmaxxing protocol in addition to an AI (and even during cycles). Of course, there still is risk and this shouldn’t be taken as solid advice but should be minded as it could be a significant help in heightmaxxing or heightmaxxing while on AAS that are estrogenic such as MENT.
