The optimal dosage of Ashwagandha depends on your specific needs and the form you’re taking. Clinical studies typically use doses ranging from:
- Root powder: 450-2000mg per day
- Extract: 300-600mg per day
- KSM-66 (concentrated extract): 300-600mg per day
It’s recommended to start with a lower dose (300mg daily) and gradually increase if needed. Take with meals to improve absorption and reduce potential stomach discomfort. Consistency is key – benefits are typically noticed after 8-12 weeks of regular use. Always consult healthcare provider before starting, especially if taking medications.
