A member asked:

Is ashwaghanda supplements safe to take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mostly: The risk is not from the herb itself but from the contaminants in the preparation. At the same, it is not likely to do you any good either. You may visit this site for more info: https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/ashwagandha-health-benefits#side-effects
