you should be taking it before bed dumbass wtf
is this new? I've been taking it in the morning for the past year
You must take it for a couple of weeks for it to have effect.
Stealing your thread
I have ordered ashwagandha but ive read abojt side effects like thyroid issues, anhedonia etc
Should i take kt or not?
>thyroid issues
as long as you consume some level of carbs, you shouldn't worry about thyroid issues
>anhedonia
can happen if taken consistently long term but its temporary and goes away when you stop taking it
if you're worried about that, you can cycle month on month off
I got super bad anxiety from taking Ashwaganda
What the fuck is this actually supposed to do?
shown to dramatically lower cortisol levels and lessen intensity of stress/stress response. Also extremely minor increase in Testosterone production in some studies
just take Rhodiola extract at 5% salidrosides. its a fucking godsend
>falling for the ayurveda meme
>trusting anything that pajeets shill
>expecting pajeet herbs not to be contaminated with heavy metals
Had 3 weeks vacation this summer, trying to relax but other shit got in my way and I've felt fatiqued since. Bought ashw. yesterday hoping it might help my body calm down
Pajeet meme, literally an herbal SSRI. ALL the PubMed studies made by Pajeet scientists
>interactions with 5 HT receptors, medium long term consequences unknown
>direct SSRI action, medium long term consequences unknown
>adrenal corticosteroid and mineralcorticoid suppression, medium long term consequences unknown
>interaction with estrogen receptors, medium long term consequences unknown
>recent in vivo non pajeet study found a GABAergic activity and a dopaminergic agonist activity, medium long term consequences unknown
Stay away from this ''life changing'' zoomer pajeet scam
This. Pajeets discovered a herbal Prozac with more potential drug interactions, less well studied side effects, and likely contamination, and people are acting like it's the second coming of Christ.
This shit literally turned me into a zombie for MONTHS
Ashwa has only really been popular recently (3-4 months)
Are you saying you were using this for longer even earlier than the popularity boom?
>3-4 months
Try 1-2 years m8
I took this pajeet Zoloft thrice: ksm, sensoril and a random untitled Amazon stuff.
ALL the times the same results: loss of interests for all: sex, work, gym, vidya, hiking, etc
>Ashwa has only really been popular recently (3-4 months)
Lol no, it's sold since 2008 at least here in Québec
nofappers used to shill ashwagandha as the ultimate t boosting supplement like 10 years ago
Nah. You should take it for your bones if you'd otherwise be deficient.
meant for
Take it before you sleep not before you work out.
It has not where close to the same side affects as Prozac.
>It has not where close to the same side affects as Prozac.
Yeah, I said it's worse.
Retard fear mongering. Even if the angedonia and emotional muting was worse than standard SSRIs, it has no withdrawal symptoms or addictive mechanism. You won't fuck up tour life by voluntarily feeling less pleasure and expressing a little less emotion from taking a herbal supplement.
Imagine literally taking phytoestrogens for .. for ... ''muh life improving''
You are a moron if you think that something being "herbal" or "natural" automatically means it's safer. You hear more about Prozac's side effects because it's a very popular substance and the side effects are monitored, so even rare ones get a lot of attention. On the other hand, alternative medicine retards have extremely poor quality control and a litany of excuses when a side effect happens, so you don't hear about them much even when they're worse than the pharma equivalents.
Do you have anything to back it up or do you just simply want to believe it's on par or worse than SSRIs to own people online. It's extremely low risk to take cheap over the counter shit with no withdrawal symptoms.
>get memed by the supplement industry?
Yes. Even Vitamin D is a meme.
Bruh Ashwagandha can cause liver damage in long term. It's not a meme tho, gave me increased libido , great sleep for the first few weeks I took it ( just a single tablet a day)
Then I developed tolerance to it and had to take more than 2/3 ... Cause the libido it gave me was too good.
People say you need to cycle on it ( 1 week on , 1 week off) and I think that is a better alternative than daily intake.
Isn't a 'meme'' cause is an active, potent and unknown substance, and obviously not a ''life chaning''thing.

Pretty sure almost everything from ayurveda is 15 varieties of turmeric and ginger root extracts. I've got 2 years using basic turmeric, KSM 66 ashwaghanda and tongkat ali, the highest quality products of them available, and i'd call you a completely desensitized, totally non-self-aware NPC if you told me you saw no changes in mood or male vitality over a period of using 1 entire bottle for each.
99% of the fat mutt slobs on this board are spending all kinds of money on this stuff to START improving their health, rather than to OPTIMIZE their existing very high level of health and ftiness. these products are to be ignored until you've actually locked in your diet and exercise and maintain a stable diet of omtimal high quality foods - again, something 99% of you won't do even if money wasn't a factor. you'll eat your goyslop and spend hours daily sitting typing here complaining that pajeet took $25 from you for a bottle of the cheapest most unregulated and contaminated version of these supplements.
It works very well at first but it fucked with my head after a while. Anxiety, sad thoughts etc. fuck knows why
You idiots are paying to take massive phytoestrogen doses. Yeah trannies feel nice and relaxed when they take their pills too.
I've been taking Ashwa for a couple months now. I've also started taking Maca, Milk Thistle, Fenugreek, Ginseng, Tongkat Ali, Magnesium, K2+D, Zinc. My balls are legitimately twice as big and hang lower. They are so full of cum that it almost hurts.
If you've been taking it a couple months straight you're going to need to stop for a couple months because you develop a tolerance to it and diminish your benefits.

Why would you take something with an indian name?
This started making me depressed after a few times, I dont take it anymore. Its fucking strange
made me chill the fuck out to a high degree
Nearly got T-boned while driving and I had no reaction
More risk taking without much of a grin or a face
Lowered my heart rate a lot, which is good
I'll have to get a bottle again,KSM-66 seems to be the one to get
Took for a month and didn’t do shit
makes me feel numb inside like a true NPC
these help numb me to everyday bullshit. Find myself being less annoyed or pissed off by things whenever I take them
Pretty sure they do jack shit for lifts tho
It definitely gave me calming effects and felt a mild boost at the gym but after a while I lost the motivation to do anything and it gave me the worst insomnia. I would be waking up in the middle of the night and never fall back to sleep. I stopped for a while and I felt normal again. Now I take it maybe 2-3 times a week rather than every day.
>leave thread because i thought it died
>come back and it's still alive
cool
but yeah, i doubled my dose and still dont really feel much. maybe my mood is a bit better i gues
It is for sleepy times. I don’t recommend compounds in general as it is better to just take the individual stuff and schedule as appropriate as possible but, a dead giveaway if a multi supplement is shit is if they throw this into a “booster” *cough*super male vitality*cough*. I do take gnc’s anabolic sleep just because I have never been able to be on a wagie sleep schedule otherwise. My life long natural bed time is 3-4am and wake up is around 1-2pm. As an adult I was full Benadryl monster runner till I found that. Probably going to still get the Alzheimer’s because of that. Oh well, when it strikes won’t be my problem.
kratom is the only "supplement" that actually does anything
take this in the late afternoon/evening to go to sleep and have great sex, idiot
did you not read into this at all?
You got memed friendo, you're not taking fucking valium its just another meme supplement that's realistically indistinguishable from a placebo
Hate this stuff. Felt weirdly sedated but still couldn’t sleep. If you want more test inject test don’t waste your time with worse than useless memes
You got memed into ingesting something that doesn't even exist. Nothing real could possibly have the name "Ashwagandha". Fictitious word. You ate sawdust.

Anyone tried lavender? Did it help with anxiety?
it does actually seem fairly calming. you could try some chamomile, too, it works on benzodiazepine receptors. I had a chamomile and lavender tea and it would put me out like a light at night. you could probably get some lower dose chamomile pills for use during the day
also, like I said here
, Rhodiola. its an adaptogen that supresses cortisol, modulates serotonin and dopamine, and gives some energy. great preworkout, but I take it most days. some days off because it does have some tolerance
It works, but you gotta take a much higher dosage. I take about 5 grams a day, and it makes me noticeably more relaxed afterwards. I have no idea whether it helps with testosterone or any of the other things that it is touted to aid, but my overall anxiety levels have plummeted since implementing a daily dosage of 5 grams and 5 minutes of daily meditation. Pic related is what I use.
