Ashwagandha extract is a concentrated root powder standardized to a set percentage of withanolides, like KSM-66 or Sensoril. People take it to ease stress, steady mood, and boost physical energy and endurance.
Take it once or twice daily, with food to lower the chance of stomach upset. The herb can lower blood pressure and blood sugar, so anyone on medication for those conditions should check with a doctor. Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless a healthcare provider approves.
