3 available pack sizes; 200, 120, 40 capsules.

DAILY USE:

There's a wide range of recommended doses for Ashwagandha root powder. Entirely dependent on which herbalist you speak to!

EVERYDAY GENERAL SUPPORT: 2-4caps daily, in single or divided doses.

SIGNIFICANT STRESS/STRESSORS: Wk1-2 take 4-6 caps daily. Then reduce to above everyday dose.

I've followed an Ayurvedic herbalist for many years who advises dose ranges of 30-40Grams a day! As Ashwagandha is a 'food-like' herb, can spread the powder on cereals, in yoghurt, milk, all foods, etc, so is generally agreed safe even at high doses. Some people need a lot of support, as life is very busy, and very stressful, nowadays.

If taking the powder orally/not in capsule form, prepare yourself for the taste - not for the faint-hearted!

SAFETY: avoid in HYPERthyroidism.
