    I use ashwaganda more for the cortisol effect. Sex wise, not noticeable unless you take it regularly for a certain amount of time. If you’re looking more for a noticeable boost in sex drive, use tongat ali, boost your zinc intake, tribulus is pretty good too. Other factors that definitely affect my drive is sleep, food and exercise. Correct those things first for best results.

    I take ashwaganda regularly and I love it. It really helps with stress and boosts libido. It also does lower emotions but mostly just negative ones.
    I also recommend taking Shilajit, wich feels like ashwaganda on steriods and if you combine these to, you will sleep like a baby, have a huge increase in terms of libido and be way more calm.

    You are wonderful Doc and maybe a psychic!!! I purchased 2100 mg ashwagandha over a month ago and haven't taken a single pill. I've purchased this to boost my testosterone levels and to relax dummy resting time. I've noticed that as I am aging (53) it harder and harder for me to workout and see positive results. I also work 12 - 14 hours per day 5 to 7 days a week. I'm a little nervous about trying this without consulting my Doctor, however I had lab work done where my testosterone levels are slightly lower than normal for my age group. I will be having my physical exam here real soon and I'll wait for her to say yeah or nay. This is a supplement unknown to and I don't want to be want to be foaming at the mouth and flopping on the ground if I don't need this. If my Doc says it's okay then I'll will give it a go and hope that my workouts and sleeping patterns improve. Thanks as always Doc for being a Awesome and Knowledgeable Professional!!!!❤ Enjoy the rest of your day Doc!!!!

That’s a perfect description for the fact that ashwagandha takes me from being an agitated, impatient driver that verbalizes my annoyances with others to an extremely relaxed, calm driver that doesn’t really care when or how I get to my destination. It definitely works as a mood changer. 1/2 of a 300mg capsule works fine for me. Though, 300mg can be mind numbing.

      I’ve never researched the side effects if there are any. It could be perfectly safe everyday. I just sprinkle half of a 300mg capsule in my blended coffghee once in awhile. I wouldn’t do anything everyday. Especially supplementation.
      Of course, people wouldn’t need to supplement if they weren’t eating anti-nutrients from plants that steal and block the absorption of key nutrients for healthy cellular function, energy production and brain function.
      It also doesn’t help that modern people are now eating sugar and carbs daily that cause their gut bugs to release drugs which creates addictions and withdrawal symptoms leading to various “mood swings” and temperaments. Ashwaghanda and other supplements to the rescue I guess.

    @matthewbittenbender9191 Рік тому +7

    Something she mentioned about they're not being enough studies on how the human body does with extended periods of low-level cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone. You need it to motivate you to get things that you need for survivability. It wakes you up in the morning, it drives you harder to find food when scarce, it drives you to protect your spouse and progeny and dangerous situation. However, it breaks down into oxidants in the bloodstream wish that carried through your body and may cause illness and premature aging and high quantities so I would say that you wouldn't need to eliminate cortisol but just to mitigate excessive amounts of it. If ashwagandha reduces your stress to healthy levels, it's better likely than not that having lower levels of cortisol can have long-term health benefits. The only way to know for sure is to try. Obviously, it should go without saying, stop taking it if you are experiencing negative effects, such as the supposed sedation in those mice she mentioned that were given high amounts.

      @@TheCycloneTrooper Thanks, I have also correlated severe sleep issues starting around the same time but nothing has helped consistently, including working out harder and stopping all caffeine entirely, I still don't sleep enough. I've questioned cardio, but only solution was statin, which hasn't helped much; is there a way to check/further clear arteries if needed? Statin just seems to prevent further, but I bert there is some blockage down there; difficult to get a listener. Docs wanna prescribe and get you out of office. One suggested implant, I'd rather be celibate.

    The problem with this 'supplement' is that is can have an impact on the thyroid hormones and moreover cortisol reduction is not always a good thing. Someone might be on the low end of normal and therefore reducing cortisol could cause problems. Likewise cortisol is pulsatile so in this respect timing can be key as well.

    I'm an amateur athlete in mid forties and have started having Aswagandha for the first time to try out. What I observed is after having this for approximately 3 months, apart from other benefits, there was a strange issue of not losing weight. Due to breaks in training I used to gain weight and once resumed, can lose weight steadily. But after having aswagandha for 3 months, the weight loss has become extremely difficult even after increasing training volume. Is there any possibility of this or is this is due to other issues of life style or so.
