The optimal timing and form of Ashwagandha depends on your goals. Research suggests the following guidelines:

For stress and energy: Take in the morning with breakfast
For sleep support: Take 1-2 hours before bedtime

Available forms include:

  • Root powder (traditional): 1-2 teaspoons daily
  • Capsules (most convenient): 300-600mg standardized extract
  • Tinctures (fast-absorbing): 2-4ml daily
  • Gummies (palatable option): Follow package instructions

Look for products standardized to contain at least 5% withanolides, and always take with food to enhance absorption and prevent potential stomach discomfort.
