Question 1

Accepted Answer

Sensoril: Sensoril active ingredient is ashwangandha and was studied with a double blind placebo controlled study with 98 subjects who did state their energy level, stress and cognition improved over two months of use.  How long it last is not stated but in my experience, the indian ginseng last only a few days to 2 weeks in the system before it is completely washed out.

Question 2

are there any negative side effects related to taking shilajit to improve the immune system or anxiety? or what is it best used for, or is ashwagandha better than shilajit?

Accepted Answer

: If you live a healthy life  and are healthy then you do not need supplements to boost anything. They are unregulated, unstandardized mostly of no benefit and my opinion sometimes harmful. Save your money and lead a healthy life

Question 5

Limits sideeffects: Aswagandha has maoi like effects while gingko has serotonin antagonism and can counter sideeffects of twitching/nausea other GI effects.

Question 6

what is best time of day to take ashwagandha?  is bed time ok?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Ashwagandha has a wide range of proven benefits. I recommend it to almost all my patients. It gives energy but is also calming. It often improves sleep, even if taken in the morning.
I find most people benefit more from taking it in the morning, but some do better taking it at bedtime and some take it AM and PM. Experiment to see how you feel taking it AM vs. PM.

No: his height is determined by his genetic predisposition.  This associated with his overall health, lack of injury to his growth centers and good overall nutrition.  If he were to have a growth hormone deficiency his ultimate height could be affected by replacement of growth hormone.
