The problem is the “heightmaxxing dose” is the same dose in theory as the dose used for motion sickness. It’s an anti histamine so if anything it’s very beneficial for you. I think Meclozine is the least you should fear of what I recommend.

Ultimate Skincare Actives Showdown: Tretinoin vs. GHK-Cu vs. Accutane vs. Vitamin C vs. Niacinamide for Collagen, Elastin & Skin Quality

Introduction
The quest for youthful, resilient skin has led to the development of powerful skincare actives that target collagen synthesis, elastin production, and overall skin quality. This comprehensive comparison examines five heavy hitters: tretinoin, GHK-Cu (copper peptides), Accutane (isotretinoin), vitamin C, and niacinamide - analyzing their mechanisms, efficacy, and ideal applications for skin rejuvenation.

Introduction

Testosterone (T), the primary endogenous sex hormone in men, is a bioidentical anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) essential for male physiology. Many people think of testosterone as the boring default androgen that has no interesting properties apart from agonizing the androgen receptor, but this is not true. Testosterone does have some unique properties that deviate it from being purely an androgen receptor agonist.

Info HOW TGF-ẞ AGONISTS WORK, THEIR INTERACTION WITH HDACI, AND THEIR POTENTIAL FOR TARGETED SKELETAL ENHANCEMENT

TGF-B's Role in Bone Growth

1. Mechanisms of Action

TGF-B signaling influences bone development through:

Stimulation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) → Drives osteoblast and chondrocyte differentiation.

Enhancement of Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Deposition → Boosts collagen, osteocalcin, and alkaline phosphatase activity.

Modulation of Growth Plate Chondrocytes → Supports longitudinal bone growth before epiphyseal closure.

Info EXTENDING THE GROWTH WINDOW, HOW TO UTILIZE ESTROGEN, AROMATASE INHIBITION, AND NEW PATHWAYS FOR HEIGHT AND BONE DEVELOPMENT

The Role of Estrogen in Bone Growth and Epiphyseal Closure

Bone growth is regulated by a complex interplay of hormones, with estrogen playing a crucial role:

1. Growth Plate Fusion

Estrogen accelerates epiphyseal (growth plate) closure in both males and females

In males, testosterone is peripherally converted to estrogen via aromatase, which ultimately mediates growth plate closure

Studies on males with aromatase deficiency or estrogen resistance show delayed epiphyseal fusion, leading to continued linear growth into adulthood (e.g., cases of men growing beyond age 25)
