Interesting study that shows Ashwagandha can help with Subclinical Hypothyroid
Efficacy and Safety of Ashwagandha Root Extract in Subclinical Hypothyroid Patients: A Double-Blind, Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial. - PubMed - NCBI
Treatment period - 8 weeks
Dose of supplement - 600 mg Ashwagandha root extract daily
RESULTS:
A total of four subjects (two from each group) withdrew their consent before the second visit. Eight weeks of treatment with ashwagandha improved serum TSH (p < 0.001), T3 (p = 0.0031), and T4 (p = 0.0096) levels significantly compared to placebo. Ashwagandha treatment effectively normalized the serum thyroid indices during the 8-week treatment period in a significant manner (time-effects: TSH [p < 0.001], T3 [p < 0.001], and T4 [p < 0.001]). Four subjects (8%) (ashwagandha: 1[4%]; Placebo: 3[12%]) out of 50 reported few mild and temporary adverse effects during this study.
CONCLUSION:
Treatment with ashwagandha may be beneficial for normalizing thyroid indices in subclinical hypothyroid patients.
Maybe it can be helpfull for people that can't use dessicated thyroid etc. Or is ashwagandha somehow dangerous? ( estrogenic or something like this)
