How to use Nutricost KSM-66 Ashwagandha
When to take it
Take one capsule a day, at the same time each day. Many people take ashwagandha in the evening because of its reputation for relaxation and sleep; others prefer the morning. Studies ran for 6 to 12 weeks, so judge it over weeks rather than days.
How to take it
Each capsule is a full 600mg serving of KSM-66. Take it with a meal and a glass of water, which helps if it upsets your stomach. It includes BioPerine (black pepper extract), so check with a pharmacist if you take medications, as black pepper extract can affect how some drugs are absorbed.
What to combine it with
Some people pair evening ashwagandha with morning Rhodiola Rosea, which has a reputation for fighting fatigue. L-Theanine is another calming option; if you take both, start one at a time so you can tell what each does. Don't combine ashwagandha with sedatives or sleep medication without medical advice.
About Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a shrub whose root has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine as a tonic. It's usually described as an adaptogen, and most modern research looks at stress and sleep, using extracts standardized for compounds called withanolides.
Typical dosage: Root extracts such as KSM-66 are typically taken at 300mg to 600mg per day, once or split into two doses, often in the evening. Studies usually ran for 6 to 12 weeks, so judge it over weeks rather than days.
Things to know: Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk to a doctor first if you have a thyroid condition, liver problems or an autoimmune condition, or take sedatives or medication for blood sugar or blood pressure. Rare cases of liver injury have been reported, so stop and seek advice if you notice yellowing skin or dark urine.
