Some doubts about Ashwagandha

Original post in this thread

faxmulder · 2 points

Hi guys,

I’m considering starting a trial with ashwgandha (KSM-66) for handling mild anxiety, worrying and overthinking/rumination. I hope it helps also with focus and brain fog issues.

However I have two concerns:

1. I’ve seen some experiences of people getting gyno after extended usage. Is it a real risk?
I’ve taken bloodworks and except for low Vit D and luteinizing hormone (LH), the other hormones are in range.
In order to prevent this potential side effect should I stack ash with an anti-aromatase and/or P-5-P, to prevent prolactin or estrogen raises?

2. Somebody reported that got lack of motivation and/or anhedonia after extended usage. Have you ever experienced this side effect?

I’m considering adding also polygala and black seed oil later on, since the former should help with mood and focus, the latter with hay fever and modulation of the immune response (I have an autoimmune disease).
Do you see any potential bad interaction with ashwagandha?

Thanks for your help, as always!

Interesting. What's his dosage? That study was 3 mg a day (10x ND's).

He's taking 10mg a night before bed.

Possible Fake?

Always make sure it says "sold by Nootropics Depot" when buying from us on Amazon. We have brand protection on there, which is supposed to prevent hijacking of our listings. However, they seem to have found a way around
