Post on Reddit as to why you shouldn’t take an AI:
“
There is a dangerous misconception circulating that estrogen is the "enemy" of height. Most people believe estrogen only exists to close growth plates, leading some to consider abusing Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) to stay short-term "pure." The biological reality is much more complex: estrogen is the primary trigger for the male growth spurt.
Estrogen follows a "biphasic" (two-phase) model in human growth. In early-to-mid puberty, low concentrations of estrogen are what actually signal the pituitary gland to spike Growth Hormone (GH) and IGF-1 levels. Without this specific estrogenic signal, your body never enters Peak Height Velocity (PHV).
Why AI(Aromatase Inhibitors Abuse Kills Your Spurt
When individuals "nuke" their estrogen levels using AIs without medical necessity, they effectively delete the signal required for a major spurt. While the growth plates may stay "open" longer, the rate of growth becomes agonizingly slow and linear. You essentially trade a massive 10–12 cm spurt for a sluggish 1–2 cm annual gain that never reaches a true peak.
The common misconception/estrogen's bad rep
The "bad" reputation comes from the second phase of the process. As testosterone levels peak, the aromatase enzyme converts a portion of that testosterone into higher levels of estrogen. Once estrogen reaches a specific saturation threshold in the epiphyseal plates, it signals the chondrocytes to stop proliferating and start ossifying. This is a natural, healthy conclusion to the growth cycle.
Bottom Line: Don't Sabotage Your PHV or residual growth
Abusing AIs in an attempt to grow forever is a recipe for failure. By suppressing estrogen below the biological "trigger" threshold, you prevent the massive GH pulses needed for a major height gain. You risk ending up with a "eunuchoid" growth pattern: tall-ish but with thin, brittle bones and no explosive spurt.
So, what should you do?
Manage your body fat to keep aromatase levels in check, but do not mess with your baseline estrogen. You need that signal to hit your maximum height potential.”
