The effects of Ashwagandha can vary depending on your body, the reason you're taking it, and the type of extract used. However, most people begin to notice benefits within:

• 7–14 days for reduced stress, improved sleep, or a calmer mood
• 4–8 weeks for more noticeable changes in energy, stamina, hormone balance, or cognitive function

For best results, Ashwagandha should be taken consistently over time, as it works gradually to support your body’s stress response and overall well-being.

Ashwagandha is generally well-tolerated and considered safe for most people when taken at the recommended dosage. However, like any supplement, it may cause mild side effects in some individuals, such as:

• Upset stomach
• Drowsiness
• Headache
• Mild digestive discomfort

These effects are uncommon and often temporary. To minimize the chance of side effects, we recommend taking Ashwagandha with food and starting with a lower dose if you're new to adaptogenic herbs.

While Ashwagandha is safe for most people, certain individuals should avoid it or consult a healthcare professional before use:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women – due to limited safety data
• People with autoimmune conditions – such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
• Individuals with thyroid disorders – as Ashwagandha may influence thyroid hormone levels
• Those taking sedatives, thyroid medication, or immunosuppressants – due to potential interactions
• Anyone scheduled for surgery – as Ashwagandha may affect the central nervous system

If you have any medical condition or are taking prescription medication, it’s best to speak with your doctor before starting Ashwagandha.

Our Ashwagandha is verified to contain 10% withanolides, as measured by HPLC, and less than 1% Withaferin A. Lesser brands may use the extract percentage to obscure their product low withanolide content. A high extract percentage is meaningless without significant withanolides, which are essential for the product's full benefits. Always inquire about these levels before purchasing any Ashwagandha product.
