The optimal timing for ashwagandha supplementation depends on your goals and the form you’re taking. Research suggests:
- Morning: Take with breakfast if using for energy and focus
- Evening: Take 1-2 hours before bed if using for sleep improvement
- Split dosing: Morning and evening for stress management
For best absorption, take ashwagandha with food containing some fat. If using powder form, it can be mixed with warm milk or tea. Those sensitive to its mild stimulating effects should avoid evening doses. Consistency in timing is more important than the specific time of day.
