When and how is it best to take this supplement? — Ashwagandha dietary supplement, 60 capsules-PLANET AYURVEDA

The recommended dose for adults is 1–2 capsules once or twice a day; this is the recommendation to follow first of all. Below is some general context that will help you better understand the logic of taking adaptogens.

Ashwagandha is most often taken during a meal or right after it: this reduces the likelihood of the stomach discomfort that sometimes occurs when herbal extracts are taken on an empty stomach. Some people prefer to take it in the evening, since an adaptogen is traditionally associated with supporting relaxation after a busy day – but this is individual.

The key point for adaptogens in general is regularity. One-off or irregular intake makes it impossible to assess how a herbal extract fits into your routine. The first subjective changes are usually reported after several weeks of systematic use.

Do not combine it with alcohol or exceed the recommended number of capsules in the belief that “more is better”: this holds true for any concentrated herbal extracts.

It is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have chronic diseases or take medicines, consult a specialist before starting.
