What stops growth.....

**Badgerman** · 08-11-2004, 11:14 PM

I've read where it's the estrogen that closes the growth plate. Is that why Anavar can be used in kids?? because it doesn't aromatize? If that is the case, wouldn't it be possible to treat small kids with any type of AAS that doesn't aromatize.....or is Anavar totally unique in that regard?

Do not give kids AS! What the hell kind of question is that? I sure hope you aint a father!

Small kids are being treated with both AAS and GH.....mine are in college and not small. A friend has a kid that's like 4'3" tall....fresh in HS......needs to see an endocrinologist. I'm just curious as to how Anavar was used in kids without all the typical AAS negatives and whether Anavar was the only possibility for him.

The kid just hasn't hit his growth spurt yet. It seems like guys are hitting it later and later nowadays and girls are hitting puberty earlier and earlier. Give the kid some time.

Man....this is the smallest kid I've ever seen that wasn't a true midget. If I were his dad I'd try something......

I love being 6'3.. even though it's harder for us big guys to look huge. Short people can weigh 170 and look jacked as ****..

Does anybody know the answer to this question though? AAS are used to treat children with growth disorders and I too am interested in why anavar in unique in regards to not closing growth plates, where as most all non-aromatizing AAS should be the same. Thanks.

Anavar is used to help growth in children...

**Badgerman** · 08-14-2004, 04:00 PM

Why is Anavar the only one? We're trying to figure out if the only reason is that it doesn't aromatize. If that's the case then there should be alot of AAS candidates that don't cause growth problems.
Maybe no others were used because they hadn't gone through FDA approval studies.
