Should you take ash wagan dha supplements?

Is ash wagan dha safe? It may be for some people, as long as you follow some precautions.

Dr. Lin advises:

• Taking a reasonable dosage: Stick to no more than 500 milligrams twice a day, or as recommended by a knowledgeable healthcare professional.
• Opting for tested ash w agandha supple ments: Look for suppl ements that have been independently verified by an outside company, such as ConsumerLab, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) or NSF International.
• Using it for the short term: Ashwa gandha is usually well tolerated for about three to six months. But its long-term safety hasn’t been well studied.
• Pursuing other treatments as well: Ash wa gandha should be considered a complementary practice, not as an alternative to tried-and-true treatments and medications.
• Talking with a healthcare provider: Always consult a healthcare provider before taking supplements.

Ashw agandha isn't considered safe for everyone. In fact, the potential for risks in certain people has led to ash wagandha being banned in Denmark. Don’t take ash wagandha if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Take certain medications, including medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep, anxiety, seizures or autoimmune conditions
• Have an autoimmune disease
• Have prostate cancer
• Will soon have surgery
• Have a thyroid condition, like hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or borderline thyroid
