How to use Tribe Organics KSM-66 Ashwagandha
When to take it
Take it once a day at a consistent time, morning or evening. Effects in studies built up over 6 to 12 weeks.
How to take it
Follow the serving size on the label and take it with a meal. This is an organic KSM-66 root extract standardized to 5% withanolides, so it's comparable to the extract used in most ashwagandha research.
What to combine it with
Often used alongside Rhodiola Rosea (morning) and on its own in the evening. If you take thyroid medication, talk to your doctor first, because ashwagandha may raise thyroid hormone levels.
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.
