Proven Korean Blend for Height Growth

[6'3MongolMogger]

HT042 is a multi-herbal mixture consisting of Eleutherococcus senticosus, Astragalus membranaceus and Phlomis umbrosa which have been used to treat children with developmental delay in traditional Asian medicine. A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted to investigate efficacy of HT042 for short children. We studied 99 children aged from 7 to 12 years, all of whom had an initial height below the 25th percentile for age and sex. The children were randomly assigned to receive 750 mg of HT042 or placebo twice daily for 12 weeks. Anthropometric data including weight, height, height percentile, height standard deviation scores (SDS), fat mass and fat free mass were collected at baseline and at week 4, 8, and 12. Serum levels of growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-3; nutrient intakes and the amount of time spent exercising were measured at baseline and at week 12. Mean change in height from baseline to week 12 for children who received HT042 and placebo were 2.2 ± 0.7 and 1.9 ± 0.7 cm, respectively (p=0.047). Children in HT042 group showed significant increase in height percentile and height SDS from baseline to week 12 (both p< 0.001). Treatment with HT042 significantly increased fat-free mass and decreased fat mass from baseline to week 12 (p< 0.001 and p=0.023, respectively) while treatment with placebo did not significantly change both parameters. There was a significant difference in the level of IGFBP-3, but not GH or IGF-1, between placebo and HT042 group at week 12 (3386.7 ± 737.0 ng/ml vs. 3064.7 ± 723.6 ng/ml, p=0.039). No significant difference was observed between two groups in nutrient intakes or the amount of time spent exercising at the end of the study. HT042 treatment for short children can increase height and produce positive changes in body composition, suggesting that HT042 would be an effective dietary supplement for increasing height of children.

1. What HT042 is​

HT042 is a multi-herbal mixture consisting of:

• Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng)
• Astragalus membranaceus
• Phlomis umbrosa

---

2. Evidence from the clinical study​

• Population: 99 children, aged 7–12, all below the 25th height percentile
• Design: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (the gold standard in clinical research)
• Dosage: 750 mg twice daily for 12 weeks
• Key results after 12 weeks:
  • Height gain:
    • HT042: 2.2 ± 0.7 cm
    • Placebo: 1.9 ± 0.7 cm
    • p = 0.047 → statistically significant, but modest difference (~0.3 cm over 12 weeks)
  • Height percentile & SDS: Both improved significantly in the HT042 group (p<0.001)
  • Body composition:
    • Fat-free mass increased, fat mass decreased (p<0.001 and p=0.023)
    • Placebo group: no significant changes
  • Hormones:
    • IGFBP-3 was higher in placebo than HT042 at week 12 (p=0.039)
    • No significant difference in GH or IGF-1
  • Lifestyle factors: No differences in nutrition or exercise

---

3. Mechanism​

Animal studies suggest HT042:

• Stimulates bone growth rate
• Increases local IGF-1 expression in the growth plate of bones

So, the effect might be more direct on the bones rather than raising overall circulating GH or IGF-1.

---

4. Your personal experience​

You mentioned growing 2–3 cm at age 18 using Astragalus combined with other supplements/herbs. A few important points:

• By 18, growth plates are usually closing or closed for most males, so large gains are less likely.
• Individual responses vary; genetics, nutrition, and overall health play a huge role.
• Your growth of 2–3 cm could be a combination of late growth spurt, supplementation, or normal variation rather than solely from Astragalus.

just try it, the core supplement Astragalus is cheap and has basically 0 sides, it probably works by NO2 regulatory pathways and telomere lengthening

there's also a chinese study which showed way more growth but the validity is kinda iffy

this is cope

There is no evidence that this will grow past genetically predetermined height, only very slight acceleration of growth in short elementary school children and some rats

 

[6'3MongolMogger]

you just take that alone? what about the other compounds

Ginkgo biloba, GABA-DIM, Siberian Ginseng, Chrysin and then other common supplements like D3 Zinc magnesium

yeah, maybe, I grew on it so I just wanted to share, even for hgh there's not alot of proof that it actually gives a substantial amount of height at after you've turned 14

holy shopping list
whats chrysin? looked it up on amazon couldnt find one

whats chrysin? looked it up on amazon couldnt find one

chrysin is a "natural aromatase inhibitor" and anti-oxidant. How well it works as an AI is highly debated but it's good for health with DIM and has no sides so I put it in my stack

I used Astragalus with other supplements and herbs to grow about 2-3cm at 18

so what was the total stack u used and what was the duration u grew?

 

[6'3MongolMogger]

bet
where do you buy yours

I used MRM nutrition, you can find it on iherb.com

 

[6'3MongolMogger]

so what was the total stack u used and what was the duration u grew?

I used, Ginkgo biloba, GABA-DIM, Siberian Ginseng, Chrysin, D3, Zinc, Magnesium, K2, B-Complex
I was on the stack from about 18.7-19.7 years of age, most of my growth occured the first few months after I reached 19, I grew about 2.85 cm averaged between evening and morning height gain
