A member asked:
Is ashwagandha safe (250mg twice a day of ksm-66 full spectrum) for long-term use to help with anxiety? thanks!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: The therapeutic effects of Ashwaganda like most supplements is not as well known as medications regulated by the FDA and potency may differ from one source to another. It has been suggested to help with anxiety but may cause nausea or even vomiting. It should not be used with immune suppressants, thyroid medications, or any sedatives including benzodiazepines
