Caffeine lowers estrogen, prolonging growth so it does the opposite

half life is too long

will stay in ur system and limit deep sleep thus limiting gh release in sleep

The idea that caffeine consumption can stunt growth during puberty is a common belief, but it is not entirely supported by scientific evidence. While there have been some studies examining the potential effects of caffeine on growth, the findings have been inconclusive and conflicting.

The majority of studies suggest that moderate caffeine intake does not significantly impact height or growth during puberty. A review of the available research conducted by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) concluded that there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that caffeine intake has a significant impact on growth in children and adolescents.

However, it's important to note that excessive caffeine consumption can have other adverse effects on health, such as interfering with sleep, causing jitteriness, and increasing heart rate and blood pressure. It is generally recommended that children and adolescents limit their caffeine intake and consume it in moderation.

It's also worth mentioning that individual responses to caffeine can vary. Some individuals may be more sensitive to its effects, including potential impacts on sleep or anxiety levels. Therefore, it's a good idea for parents and adolescents to be mindful of their caffeine intake and make informed choices based on their own tolerance and health considerations.

If you have concerns about caffeine consumption or its potential effects on growth during puberty, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.
