Melatonin - Height Growth - Potential mechanism of action (?)
« on: March 22, 2023, 10:59:17 PM »
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.

Yesterday 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?

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...

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

I also experienced leg and limb pains while taking Melatonin. Very strange.
