Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ashwagandha 15:1 Extract and how does it work?

Ashwagandha is a clinically proven adaptogen — it works by regulating your body's stress response system (the HPA axis), lowering cortisol, and restoring hormonal balance. The 15:1 extract means 15kg of raw ashwagandha root is concentrated into 1kg of extract, delivering a significantly higher dose of the active withanolides responsible for all the benefits. This makes it far more potent than standard root powder.

Capsules or powder — what's the difference and how much should I take?

The extract concentration and benefits are identical in both forms. Capsules are convenient and tasteless for daily use. The powder can be stirred into warm milk, smoothies, or water — a traditional preparation known as 'moon milk' that enhances the calming effect before bed. Both forms: take 300–600mg of the extract once or twice daily. Start at the lower dose for the first 2 weeks to assess your response.

How long does Ashwagandha take to work?

Some improvements in stress and sleep can be felt within the first few days. The most significant benefits — measurable cortisol reduction, improved endurance, better sleep quality, and hormonal changes — develop after 4–8 weeks of consistent daily use. Clinical trials typically run for 8–12 weeks, which is the window where the strongest results appear. Think of it as a long-game supplement.

Can Ashwagandha support testosterone levels and workout performance?

Research on Ashwagandha is among the most promising of any adaptogen for both hormonal and physical performance. For men under chronic stress, where elevated cortisol can suppress testosterone, ashwagandha's cortisol-lowering effect may support the body's natural testosterone balance. For training performance, studies suggest it may support improvements in cardiovascular endurance, muscular stamina, and recovery between sessions. It's one of the more extensively studied adaptogens for active individuals looking to support both hormonal health and physical output.

When is the best time to take it and are there any precautions?

For stress and sleep: take in the evening 1–2 hours before bed — it lowers cortisol and promotes deeper sleep. For training performance: take in the morning or pre-workout. Some users split the dose morning and evening for consistent cortisol management throughout the day. Take with food to avoid stomach upset. Not recommended during pregnancy. Those with hyperthyroidism or on thyroid medication should consult a doctor first, as ashwagandha has mild thyroid-stimulating properties.
