I started taking this over the summer and I can’t believe all the benefits I have experienced in taking this… I told my doctor about it and told her I don’t know if this is a coincidence or not but I have noticed that my hot flashes have gone away since 2 weeks after taken this Organic Herbal Supplement, very impressed with how it has helped with my anxiety as well
I've been taking ashwaghanda powder daily for 15 years added to my superfoods mix daily. Its cheap and I like it. I'm a senior male and still in perfect health and everything still works great. It is considered as Indian ginseng
Just a fantastic remedy! Take it every day for over a year now. Some days 1-2 grams other days 500 mg, it all depends on how I feel. The weird thing about ash is you can take it at night and it helps you sleep, and if you take it early on the day, it improves your energy, weird ye?
@@vidpic8311 I got mine at London Drugs in the vitamin section but you can get it at other places such as natural food stores. Do some research so that the company you get it from considers people over profits, example, non-gmo, organic, etc. It is a good product, considered an apoptogen.
Ashwagandha is the real deal. I actually noticed a difference in my mood after the first dose. I think if it effects you in this way you know it's something special. I've been taking it for about 5 years now.
I took one 500 mg for the first time this week. I was stuck in a negative rumination after hearing a comment at a BQ and was having trouble shaking it off. Within 15 minutes of taking it, that recycled negative thought went away. Very impressed.
I'm glad to hear you were able to 'shake it', but it wasn't the Ashwaganda that did it. It was a placebo effect and it did you well. After 15 minutes, the compound would have just started to be digested and and absorbed by the intestinal tract, it then has to pass through the liver where it undergoes further breakdown and seperation of the various nutrients before being released into the blood system. A single 500mg pill, simply cannot and does not yield the results you speak of.
@@whyfor idk tbh im pretty sensitive to adaptogens so they work within the 1st hour for me. Only one that did not is Lion's Mane. But ashwagandha, tribulus, and tongkat effects were pretty immediate. I don't think it affects everyone the same
I've been taking ashwaganda for over 3 years now and I'm sleeping better and...my testosterone is almost 1100 and I'm 59 years old next month! I've also been implementing Dr. Gundry's plant/longevity/energy paradox program and have never felt better! Over 90 lbs. lost over that time and have maintained my new weight effortlessly...thank you sir for your insights!
I agree with you, after a cancer scare I decided to life life as though I had cancer so I gave up Sugar, dairy, ALL grains, ALL seed oils and lost 82 lbs. I suffered from hypertension for over 15 years taking Lisinopril and Bystolic for years. When I went from 230 lbs to 147 lbs, my blood pressure problem went away. Now my resting blood pressure is 115/68 and after jogging a 1/4 mile my BP is 137/76. It's changed my life and I'm 71 years old. I love Dr. Gundry's podcasts and have almost watched them all. If more people were determined to get healthy this is the way to go.
I haw use it for 4,5 days for 500mg and it felt numnes in too much dose😂. Cos exe. Driving car I don't hawe saim reflex so I stopped. My goo too is morning training and limunade😂. Literaly no magic pils.
@@williamhughes962 it seemed to work in the beginning but I didn’t notice any benefits after that.. I take L-Theanine and it helps much More than ashwaganda
Wish I could like a million times SLEEP 💤 definitely wonderful on it. Figured it out on my own without a naturopathic doctor/ medical doctor. Functional medicine. Has helped fatigue and sleep 💤.
@@lusaneedwards7224 Most of the many supplements I take are usually from Amazon. I pick my supplements based of those that have the most sales as well as having the highest percentage of happy customers. The dosage of Ashwagandha that I take is 1380mg's daily, but I also believe that taking Magnesium and Zinc helps as you need to make sure you aren't deficient in the minerals the body needs. There are many different forms of Magnesium, I prefer the one that crosses the blood brain barrier. Make sure your room is dark, and cool. No food snacks and liquids after 6:00 pm. Quiet also helps. Look up what percentage of people are Potassium deficient. How do you get 4700 mgs of it a day ? I drink organic Coconut water, no sugar added. My Coconut water comes in 33.8 oz bottles. With 530mgs per 8 fl oz, so my 1 bottle gives me 2100 mgs of potassium. Be careful people with kidney or bladder problems should be very careful with potassium, Start with low doses and work up very slowly. Too much potassium can be fatal. Sorry for the long post, there are enough RU-vid videos to help but only take the advice from doctors, I trust Functional medicine doctors. I believe the oldest medicine is the best so I follow the oldest Asian medicinal theories.
Ayurveda is hugely popular in India. The late Dr Mathews, a pioneer in cancer treatment who lived upto 92 and took Ashwagandha for over 40 years. He prescribed it for his patients too. I am 84 and have been taking Ashwagandha for over two decades with no problem. I have no health issues. In some cases it has given relief in knee pain too.
I also take Ashwagandha , but not everyday because I suffer Pudendal Neuralgia. It concerns me that it could affect more my symptoms because it is also an aphrodisiac, and I REALLY do not need that. 🤷🏻♀️ But for the rest, specially stress relief and nerves it is awesome Dr. Gundry. ☺️🙏🏼
It may be described as an aphrodisiac but like most things of this nature, you do have to think about sex or foreplay for it to actually work. I'm taking 3000 mgs daily and as long as I don't think about sex, there are no problems at all. I think kind of like one of my childhood buddies, he said it's just way too much work for 5 to 10 seconds of ecstasy. I take it for better sleep and it helps me relax more than ever, kind of like the character David Carradine played in Kung Fu.
First time I took it was befire long day work after being sleep deprived past 2 days honestly I felt focused energized mind clear stress free. Came home after 12 hour shift feeling fresh.
I started taking this when I started going through menopause. It helps with overall mood. I also add it to tea and some smoothies! Thank you Doctor G. 👍🏾
----- I took ashwaganda for a long time, 3..4 days per week. I liked the effect on psychology and regulation of sex drive. However, and that's a big one: It caused inflammation of the liver, AST got as high as 40. When I took it off, all other things roughly the same, AST returned to 28 after 8 months. So, if you start taking it, observe your liver enzymes.
I'm always impressed by the quality and affordability of the products at Rune Organics. They've helped me maintain normal testosterone levels even at my age.
The sacred ayurvedic texts: the Charaka and the Sushruta Sambita document the use of “Ashwagandha” as one of the most potent adaptogen and anti-stress herb. The Sanskrit name “Ashwagandha” translates to mean “the smell of a horse” and is recognized as one of the most powerful herbs for its restorative benefits and for providing “the virility and strength of a stallion.” The use of Ashwagandha as medicine to revitalize the body dates back to the teachings of the highly revered sage, Atreya Punarvasu, a royal physician. This strength builder herb has the lion’s share in the many ayurvedic formulation, including Ashwagandha Di Ich yam , and is also referred to as a “royal herb” widely prescribed for its potent stress-relieving aphrodisiac, and immuno-modulatory activities’
It’s so easy to do men’s studies for medication,supplements,etc. How about the women? We deal with more hormone and thyroid issues it would be nice to get more attention on what’s safe for us to take.
That can actually be a bonus, especially if you work in the restaurant industry. However, it's true that ashwagandha can affect your motivation levels. You'll need to muster even greater resolve to overcome those challenges.
I keep seeing these negative comments on ash, not a single study have I read to confirm this. I have taken this every day for more than a year, no negative effects other than if I take too high dose, I will get some bad poo poo :P
Ashwaghanda irritates pitta constitution in Ayurveda. Pitta, kapha, vata , are 3 types of physical traits and personalities. Pitta people have aversion for heat, get upset easily, like cooling food to cool them down, have strong digestion , robust, etc... So one herb can be good medicine or bad medicine for each person. Those who have thyroid issues, stay away from ashwaghanda.
AshWaghanda irritates pitta constitution according to Ayurveda. People with thyroid issues should not take this herb. I took this herb and got irritated right away. No more ashwaghanda for me. I am pitta.
@@nickanicka2743 not that I was aware of but covid19 era with government terror on restrictions gave me so much stress that my whole body went wack, ashwagandha has helped tremendously 🌴
I take organic Ashwagandha KSM-66 from Tribe Organics. There's no consensus on cycling, but, I personally would to avoid a tolerance and to be more effective.
wow, reading the comments, looks like people not happy with it. I didn't know it was for men, I have taken it to lower blood pressure and it does trying to avoid pharmaceuticals
I am indian,In India🇮🇳🇮🇳 it is used to increase sex power, and it is available everywhere but the best is considered to be Asawghanda of Nagaur district ,It should be used for three months and then leave it for a few days or use it again, most Popular company is Ashwagandha powder of Himalaya company which should be used with milk ,2.5gram one time morning and evening 2.5gram evening ,Hope this helps you, if you have any questions please comment 🙏🙏🙏
I think it’s important to speak to potential negative side effects and sensitivities in some people when triggering the immune system. For instance, in people with autoimmune diseases such as MS. After starting ashwaganda, within few days I became dizzy upon rising in the morning and felt awful. In my reading, I also learned that it’s important not to take this immune boosting supplement if you are on a drug protocol that is an immunosuppressant. I am not a doctor, but if you have an autoimmune disease, consult with your physician and be on the lookout for unwanted side effects.
Funny. I recently got a bit fed up with the sheer amount of supplements I had started taking. I decided to cut out the ones that seemed most like snakeoil and the exotic herbs got axed first. Luckily I hadn't thrown it away, so I'll just put it back on the menu. I'm genuinely surprised it's actually that beneficial. The supplement I got is a combination of 300mg Ashwagandha and 300mg Rhodiola, by the way. So now I'm a bit curious if the Rhodiola is as good too.
Because ashwagandha supplements do boost the immune system, it may worsen the autoimmune attack on the thyroid gland. However, this herb also has anti-inflammatory properties, which may help repair the thyroid gland in people with Hashimoto's. Still there is a risk
Supplments are great but not before we have a healthy foundation. Get your foundation right by eating the right foods and correct any underlying conditions. THEN one can incorporate a limited number of supplements into a regimen.
I take it in the morning on an empty stomach, have my 1st meal around 1:00pm and I also take it 3 or 4 hours before bed. My sleep score is usually over 90 % above average. In a few months I'll be 72
I wanted to take ashwaganda but I currently have a high ferritin level and it is my understanding that ashwagandha is high in iron so I probably need to avoid it
Also is hepatotoxic, "A 2020 case study examined five adults who had experienced signs of hepatotoxicity, or toxicity to the liver, after using ashwagandha", may increase hormones levels like Thyroid and testosterone. Liver damage is not a good thing, so you should say the pro and the cons too.
Problem with dr. Gundri is he only gives you positive benifits and ignores negetive effects. Like his advice to drink lot of olive oil every day for health. Which is insane.
Ashwaganda lowers your stress. Thats what it mainly does and with the lowering of stress it helps improve your sleep, testosterone and performance because stress is a performance killer. If the stress is taken care of everything else follows right behind it.
Thank you for your video. I saw many products with warnings for cancer and reproductive harm, problems with the liver and filers like maltodextrin. Do you have a brand that you recommend?
how long before they remove it from the shelves? they have done it before when they find something works.

Ignoring a majority of the side effects is strange in this video. I noticed a more depressed mood and a lowered will or care for things I usually enjoy. I also felt more irritable.
Ashwagandha...I have taken this as a tincture, herb, and dermal delivery systems. EVERY time I found it to create a lot of anxiety and agitation. BE CAREFUL.
This is an example of what makes the internet a crappy place to get answers. You have a doctor that know own has ever heard of, generally speaking, giving his advice, thoughts and recommendations. Then you have over 100 comments from people that none of us know with no given expertise or qualifications in the matter that would permit them to even think for a second, they should be allowed to talk, giving their thoughts and testimonials. Some of these testimonials are good and others are not so good. After, watching the video and reading the comments you are left with the same confusion that you started with and brought you here in the first place.
I need to tell people about my experience with ashwagandha. It's not a miracle herb for everyone. In fact, it can be the opposite. As soon as I began taking ashwagandha (at half the recommended dose), I developed severe insomnia, sleeping between zero and three hours a night for two weeks. Before that, my sleep was fine. I also felt depressed, manic and thought I was going crazy. My anxiety went through the roof. Within one day of stopping the ashwagandha, I started to feel normal again and my sleep improved. Several months later, I tried the ashwagandha again, and the exact same thing happened. This herb is clearly toxic for me and has the exact opposite of the desired effect. Please be aware.
