A member asked:
If my son takes ashwagandha, will his height increase? he is 14 and his height is 5ft7 . have you ever seen increase in height with ashwagandha.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
