The optimal ashwagandha dosage depends on the form and intended use. Clinical research suggests these general guidelines:

  • Standard dose: 300-600mg daily of root extract
  • Stress/anxiety: 500-600mg daily
  • Sleep improvement: 600mg daily
  • Athletic performance: 600-1000mg daily

For best results, start with a lower dose (300mg) and gradually increase if needed. Important note: Look for products standardized to contain 1-10% withanolides, the active compounds. Taking the supplement with food can improve absorption and minimize potential stomach discomfort.
