I would only default to supplements like Ashwaghanda at dosages of 200 to 600 mg in the later part of the day and never take high doses of them for very long.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

although, if you're going to pick one, I'd recommend ashwagandha, 600 milligrams per day, taken in the later-half of the day.
Well, then buffering stress with ashwagandha, buffering cortisol in the afternoon and evening can be very beneficial for you.
this is ashwagandha it helps with anti-anxiety improved cortisol management improve sleep and increase testosterone 600 milligrams once a day
Like if you are already borderline like emotionally numb as a person and you take ashroandha like you might literally like cease to care about anything for all I know. That sounds awful. Yeah, but I mean for someone who is more of an anxious phenotype like 600 millig I think is the dose, but double check on that because I might be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure. And that is impactful um to the tune of upwards of another 100 points seemingly. I could be misremembering exactly, but it's like I think it's triple digits pretty reliably for those who can benefit from it. And for some people, it's like a gamecher supplement that really improves their quality of life outside of just the testosterone enhancing capacity of it. Because some people deal with a lot of stress in their life and need that extra resilience or suppression of how much it's affecting their mental state. Like some people they can't even get to sleep because they're ruminating and they're constantly anxious and having that kind of suppressed uh stress response can be very very net beneficial. And then on top of that improves their sleep and also improves their testosterone through the uh reduction of the kind of like gluccocorticoid responses and yeah so it's it works for sure the literature seems sound on it.
