Ashwagandha has been shown to significantly help stress levels. Cortisol is a known suppressor of testosterone and quality sleep. Which explains most of the anecdotal evidence in favor of it.
Exactly this. If you currently don't have problems with stress/anxiety/sleep etc. ashwagandha prob won't do anything, and long term side effects are unknown.
Been taking Ashwagandha for a while now, i do feel like it helps with stress management and this can definitely assist training/recovery in my experience.
I've taken it for years and didn't see any meaningful changes until i recently started taking it at night instead of mornings with other vitamins. My sleep and recovery has improved tremendously.
I took Ashwaganda for 3 months. No (extra) results in the gym and no cardio improvement noticed but my emotions were turned off and i became a sort of zombie.
@@25johnlowe Yes, it was Aswahganda KSM-66 from supplier Quercus. I took the advised usage of 1 tablet a day (600mg). Withania somnifera extr. (KSM-66 Ashwagandha®, > 5% withanolides)
If you watch the video, you will see it is also apparently for VO2 Max. There is a statistically significant increase in VO2 Max for people who took it. A good VO2 Max is a fantastic indicator of health and fitness.
I thought the same until it made me emotionless and more reactive and irritable (Temporarily). Personal experience fair, but does it really help with mood? cause when i take it it just makes me not be very 'human'
No 1 for wt lifting is caffeine. No 2 is sugar. No 3 is water. No 4 is magnesium for muscle cramp control. No 5 is vitamin D to get to the gym. No 6 is NAC and Quercetin to control congestion. Then there is everything else. No 7 is creatine maybe for endurance. No 8 is BCAAs to help in muscle cramp control, but less than magnesium. No 9, there are 7 attributed to increase testosterone, and I take them all, notice slight improvement in energy. What I want most of all is that placebo in these studies that will boost my performance 5% to get me to 225 bench and 315 deadlift. No 10 is protein powders and drinks because, you know, they say so. I would put this in the category of weight loss as they produce a fullness (satiation) effect.
Came here for this comment, thank you. I have general anxiety disorder as well and was going to try this instead of Celexa but I doubt it's as effective.
@@krasky I only find 1 in 10 supplements do anything noticeable and as such, the odds suddenly of grand harm is as likely as the benefits. Both are way overdone.
@@Collieman1 did you find anything that helps you with GAD? Sport/workout helps me but obviously only for the time of exercising. I want to try out some cognitive behavior therapy.
one thing i noticed is that most if not all of the studies that shown benefits came from India, which is the home of ashwagandha industry i got nothing my indian bros but wouldn't it'd be nice if maybe another lab from europe or somewhere else replicate some of the studies
I've been taking 1000mg of Ashwagandha before bed for about a year now. While I can't definitively say whether my endurance during workouts has improved compared to before, I have noticed a significant reduction in my stress levels. I sleep better, feel better overall, and am better at managing stress. That said, it took a few weeks before I started to notice any effects, and several months before it felt like it had fully taken effect.
PSA: check out some studies and reports on the side-effects of Ashwagandha before taking it. For example, cases of liver damage have been reported. Don't just throw anything into your body because it's trendy. Every body is different.
Can you recommend any meta studies or replication studies? When I did my research I was able to find meta studies on select benefits easily, but none on negative side effects
There are side effects to every thing in life, even literally Spinach as it contains high amounts of oxalate and can contribute to Kidney-Stones. Coffee can cause heart attacks as it's high in caffeine, narrows blood vessels and increases heart rate. No doubt it hasn't indirectly contributed to people dying from heart attacks. I think there's more benefit in the plethora of health benefits Ashwagandha provides, (as well as Coffee and Spinach), in contrast to fearing away from the risk of potential injury.
Don’t you think you’re being a bit-icky? You’re not in his head, as far as I can tell, so don’t pretend to know his knowledge, motives, and rationale for what to and what not to include.
@@JohnusSmittinis I don't pretend to know anything, at the end of the day it's up to every person watching to be responsible for their health and what they put into their bodies.

Going from that to "therefore, you knew about this and are dishonest!" is maybe fun because it's the internet, but it's just not rational.
@@Lorrebrah Maybe because it isn’t reported as much, I also had a thought that like sensitivity to caffeine or to creatine ashwaganda dosages might need to be studied in that context
Ashwagandha does the opposite for me. Causes extreme restlessness, anxiety, and very high libido. Though, that could be either/ a mix of: Asperger's, ADHD, ME/ CFS countering it.
Extremely unlikely to do anything at all but a mild energy/libido boost and huge mood swings or intervals just might be part of the story of the ADD spectrum where the brain is easily triggered.
I took it for the purpose of sleep and management of my mental health, I was riddled with anxiety at the time. After a couple of days of taking it I felt like the cloud was lifted and I became a normal functioning person. I plan on getting it tattooed on me haha
I took ashwaganda for a long time and I’m not sure I felt any different after stopping it. My sleep was the same, my lifts are the same, and my mood is the same. Maybe because I’m already a calm person, I’m about as strong as I’m going to be, and I’m pretty sure I’m an insomniac. Then I was taking 300mg of extract, but I’m no longer on the supplement train as much. I just take protein because eating a ton is hard for me, and caffeine is a great legal stimulant. I even cut out creatine and my lifts are the same
I take creatine for endurance and full drive at bench as I don't have a spotter. But about the time I am going to dump my long list of supplements because you know the science says they do something, I get a launch after a 6 month plateau at bench or deadlift so I keep taking them. But a history of 6 month plateaus followed by 1 month launch phases doesn't seem to speak to pronounced or incremental or consistent gains from any supplement. It might just be how the body adapts, not constantly but occasionally.
Ive used the KSM-66 and Swanson ashwagandha, the stress level is surely goes down and the anxiety feel like its gone when i do Heavy single, The only down side is Ashwagandha feel like a mild anti depressant all the time, most of my emotions are numb and the thought feel like robot (ive been on lexapro before) now i rather have ZMA for my sleep and maybe Tongkat Ali for big pp energy
From my experience in the first couple weeks I felt great although saw no difference in gym performance and I was also a college athlete at the time. I did notice the positive affects on my mental health but after the 1 month mark, it had seemed everything no longer had any significance. Training was boring, school was unbearable, things i once enjoyed no longer seemed fun and mental health was declining. When I stopped taking it everything went back to normal after a couple days. Im curious to try it again and do it in shorter cycles in order to try and prevent the longer term side effects but jot sure if this is a full proof way.
Ashwagandha for some reason shuts down all my emotions after a week, I start feeling completely numb and empty. I have read online on reddit many people experienced the same thing that was the reason for me to stop taking it
Would be nice to see research outside of country of origin since it seems just like all Maca research came from Peru, all ashwaghanda research comes from India.
Definitely suggest also watching the video Dr. Mike put out a while ago covering both Ashwaganda & Tongkat Ali, the misconceptions for test boosting, as well as proper uses for these supplements
it has a tiny boost to FREE testosterone, and for Tongkat it slightly boosts Sex Hormone Binding Globulin - both of which dont really do much at the amounts for sports. i've tried both myself for weeks at a time
All so unlikely to be big stimulants, "proper use" is most likely hysteria. I take all 7 major claimed test boosters and notice eh, very little. Usually wt lifting is 6 month plateaus followed by 1 month launch phases. Now all those launch phases were after starting all these so you might argue they are the trigger for that launch phases, typically moving up 10% in upper body or lower body lift performance, a huge change, quickly, but they alternate, never both move up at the same time. I just moved from 265 to 305 lbs at deadlift, bang, and may get to 315 very soon. 305 lift was so fast, indicates with enough rest for good lift day, can get to 310 at least. Now, that was after a whole summer and fall of no gains, but a 40 lb move is a huge change. Consistent workout and a move or bunch of supplement, who knows. The gains do not track with starting any supplement I can recall.
Ashwagandha made me feel dull and emotionless in a not-so-fun way. Was walking out the gym one day and felt absolutely empty, days after I finally made the connection with Ashwagandha, quit taking it and felt same old me again.
So even if cardio isn't your focus being just a bit better off in the cardiovascular health category as well as managing stress makes it a no brainer to me sans having liver or kidney problems. Having a better heart is always a plus even if your not trying to train your cardio system primarily. It's so low effort for what is starting to be a well documented set of good things. I notice the stress bit, not really experienced the cardio bit and I've been taking it for the better part of a year.
It helped me on everything it mentions does, even better muscle growth but it cannot be taken for more than 3 months, after this you’ll need to stop it (don’t know how long, I just started)
I had been taking it for a while along with tonkat, but recently stopped because something I'm taking is upsetting my stomach. So far I haven't really noticed any difference.
4 месяца назад
10-15% VO2 max probably isn't enough for me to bother with it, but it's definitely enough to be interesting. But i am also of the opinion that caffeine only makes a miniscule difference, though I do like a cup of coffee, I dont bother trying to time caffeine intake, since I dont find that it matters once you get going anyway.
Hey, Mr. PictureFit man, I have an episode idea (if you need one) - how about beetroot juice as a supplement? Seems to be scientifically proven - would you care to dive into research and tell us, yay or nay?
I was taking 800-1600mg a day for several months. It was very scary how much it shut off my emotions. Turned into a zombie. I no longer felt like myself. I still feel the effects almost a year later after having stopped taking it. I strongly recommend against Ashwagandha
