Using Ashwagandha to Help Increase Height

Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. Some emerging research suggests that ashwagandha may help support height growth during puberty by regulating hormones involved in growth.

How Ashwagandha Promotes Growth

The active compounds in ashwagandha are believed to mimic the function of the hormone somatropin. Somatropin stimulates cell reproduction and regeneration which can lead to an increase in height when levels are high during puberty.

Additionally, ashwagandha may:

  • Improve thyroid function, which regulates metabolism and can impact growth
  • Combat chronic inflammation that may stunt growth
  • Reduce cortisol levels that can restrict growth if excessively high

Dosage Recommendations

Most studies use a daily dosage of around 250-500 mg of high quality ashwagandha extract supplemented during puberty to support height growth. It's best to speak with a knowledgeable practitioner to access appropriate dosing and product selection.

Final Thoughts

The current research shows promising results for using the ashwagandha herb to help maximize growth potential during the puberty growth cycle. However, there are no guarantees and proper supplements should be used alongside a healthy lifestyle for best effects.
