Woow that's amazing thank you soo much!
Can you do an update on your experience taking it?
Hi Dr Brad can you look if there is any research that suggests ashwagandha can cause liver damage. i don't understand much of research papers coming from tech background but i found this pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31991029/
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666027X21000074
I have been taking ashwagandha since few months very randomly sometimes once a week or twice I do experiance great energy, & almost less to no work stress but still a bit worried about the side effects.
Ashwagandha to be honest is quite popular here in India people have been taking it since a long time its even included in some daily supplements for children and adults like Chyawanprash, but I would be really worried if it caused any issues with liver.
My mom passed away a year back, I was heartbroken beyond explanation.
I had haunting dreams, I cried all the time, stopped having food, used to keep talking to myself, I had a mental breakdown & I was sure that I was gonna commit suicide.
Ashwagandha + Gotu Kola (a powerful nootropic) + Oil (since they're both fat soluble) , this ayurvedic combination changed my thoughts, inside out. My liver has repaired, my lipid profile has got under control.
I still cry with the memories of my mother, obviously, nothing can displace the sorrow I suffer within but Ashwagandha has helped me with coping the exorbitant dreadful conditions that I was living with !
God bless the souls of the departed and give strength to the ones who are left behind with sorrows as it's the worst agony ever - to lose your beloved.
Oh dear , I am deeply sorry for your loss😔 I admire your courage and your willingness to share your personal experience. Wish you all the best and bless you for helping others with your story 🌸🌸🌸
Take care gentle soul.
I'm so sorry for you loss. I understand you well, my father died 8 years ago, and for me is still feels like yesterday (I try not to fight my sadness anymore, I just think that he was the most important person in my life, therefore he left a void forever, and that acceptance has helped me). I am a 48 years old woman, and I take Ashwagandha every afternoon, and Maca in the morning, and it has helped me a lot with my hormones and period discomfort. I'm happy to hear that you are doing better, and I wish you a 2021 full of health, love, joy and abundance, and everything that makes your heart sing. Big cyber-hug from Prague (Czech Republic).
@@camila72 Thank you for being so kind and thanks for the motivation. All the blessings from India on your way to Prague.
Thank you for sharing that! Sending you blessing ❤️
I have been selling pure ashwagandha on Amazon for years but it's a hard job educating people on the benefits. Thanks for this video
I like Ashwaganda, works great to reduce my stress 👌 know if there's any anecdotal evidence from India on longterm use or any communities that have taken the herb for many years?
@@RaulEdu33 looking for the same question.
Did u die or something answer the question dude
@@RaulEdu33 Ashwagandha has been used in India for thousands of year. Human, Animal and clinical studies have shown it to be safe and effective. There is an extract of double blind placebo controlled study proving that this can be used for stress. Its just a plant product (related to potatoes)
@@ganeshkrishnan7295 Awesome Thanks Ganesh. What dose do you recommend? Is it best to cycle Ashwaganda after taking it for consecutive days?
I've been taking it for 6 months now with no side effects, also i have put on 10 lbs of muscle and my sleep has improved significantly-thanks for the research im going to keep taking it
Kelly what brand do you take . I have tried several and they were crap. ☺️
10 lbs of muscle in 6 months? You sure its aswagandha and not dbol or something
@@highwayman1932 newbie gains
It's probably the best muscle builder out there....because it lowers cortisol...one major way steroids work is by lowering cortisol...stack it with creatine for mild steroid like muscle gains....
@@highwayman1932 lol
I have been using Ashwaganda for about 10 years. I have issues with my adrenal glands, to little cortisol in the morning and to much cortisol at night. Ashwangada has helped to balance my hormone levels, energise me at times and more importantly calm me and help with sleep in the evening. At times I stopped taking it and after a few weeks I always got back on to Ashwangada as it makes such a big difference to my life! Great to see it mentioned on your channel!
Hi can you tell me how much you take a day ? Thank you
@@mouwlylee5014 I used to take 1 x 450mg, if I felt bad ai took two a day. Also the last couple of years I took it in part of a formula that had 3grams in the evening. That worked really well in times of high stress and when there was a lot of work.
@@Bellaregina11 thank you. You still taking it now or no?
@@mouwlylee5014 Currently I take it only if I feel I need it. I have taken it most of this week, as I have a lot of work and can't swith off the go go mode.
Ashwaganda is one of ancient ayurvedic and sidda herb. For covid19 there is crazy about anandayya herbal medicine given free treatment. Similar procedure explained by doctor in this video. czcams.com/video/Xafzc0wpuQw/video.html
Very interesting video!
And I really like your new background. Much more interesting than the black screen. :)
Great quality video Brad. I love the background. And I’m absolutely going to take Ashw now. Thank you.
There is an indian stack, Aswagandha, Guduchhi, Tulsi, Neem, Turmeric, you can explore.
Brilliant, Dr Stanfield. I’m sold on it...I’ll be trying it.
Excellent reiteration of research, Brad. I'm 74, have been taking the adaptogen ashwagandha for several years a couple hours before bed. I appreciate you pointing out the research about it lowering cortisol for better sleep!!! Thank you for this research recap video!!!!
Thx young lady
Love it, everything you are slowly adding I have already been doing for years now. Thank you for giving me more info. Highly appreciated...”)
Thank you for your videos!
Your material acts as a research distillate which helps laypersons to make informed decisions about supplement intake. Keep doing what you're doing.
You are brilliant! Thanks for all you share and educate. SUBSCRIBED!
Love this channel. Keep going, Doc.
Hi Brad, I have been watching your videos for quite a while and you became my utube hero. I admire your wise look at the things. And being not afraid to say it loudly. Please,keep going and who is smart enough will be yours friends like me. Thanks again. 🤗😃
I have added it. Thanks so much for your excellent videos.
Wow Dr Brad! I am so happy you did a video on ashwagandha 👍 I've taken it before and I'm definitely going to take it now that I've seen the scientific evidence 👏👏👏
Sounds good. Thanks for all of the information you share. Appreciated
good work you brad
Powaah! Strrrrrrength! Krrrraft! 💪
Ysl La Nuit is better than Ashwaganda
Drinking Versace Eros is where it’s @
As always, Dr. Brad I greatly appreciate your dedication to researching and distilling down all this complex data into plain language for all of us mere mortals -:)
Brad, I take medication at night that gives me restless leg syndrome. Aswaganda totally alleviated it like it never existed. I thought it was a fluke, then I took it a second night before bed. Again no restless leg syndrome. I'm pretty happy about it. I'd like to see a study done on it.
Do you take the capsule form or the powder ? Which one is best and more effective ?
@@karimsakande2887 Both are same. capsule is just the powder covered with gelatin.
You might want to consider finding better ways to get the benefits from your Rx, without the Rx. I was able to do that with a lot of research. Ashwagandha is part of that solution.
@@karimsakande2887 Capsule
Great review, thanks for the knowledge!
I'll be keeping this one in the back of my mind for when I might need it down the road.
Thanks as always Dr. Brad. How you blast through the data in these videos at 90 miles per hour without a misstep is frankly amazing. Adding it to my supp stack now.
That is because he takes Ashwagandha. 🤠
Great review 👍
Thanks, Doc! I just discovered you. You are a very effective communicator. Subscribed 👍
Glad you find the content useful, thanks for subscribing
Great video Dr Brad! Been researching Ashwagandha and seems the critical active ingredient is withanolides which drives all the derived benefits. In terms of dosage, it's not so much the mg of Ash per se but the % withanolides embedded which varies amongst the brands. Plenty out there with
I take it in the evening. Definitely helps with sleep. I also drink camomile in the evening (apigenin), and they work well together.
One problem, apigenin is very unstable, the heat from the water may degrade the molecule
Been taking it for a few months now. It does sound promising. Thanks for the additional information.
Thank you again Dr Brad. You're a star. I've already added it to my diet!
Thank you for the information I'll take it and appreciate that you gave the name of the company.
Hi you have a great channel and love your explanation of supplements I hit the sub and bell 🛎
Great video!
Thanks for the video. I was taking Ashwaganda inconsistently. Will be taking every day now.
I have been taking it for cortisol reasons. My wife complains about me going to sleep before the end of the introduction on CZcams videos sometimes. I have experienced strength gains but had not put it down to this. Well done. I am cognitively way better coming off statins, keto, lions main and so on, or so I thought. This may be a further explanation. Anyway, I am enjoying chess and strategy games again and my short term memory is making strides. Once again, well done.
Yea Keto is ridiculous. We need an alkalizing diet to stay young. Saliva pH first thing in the morning should be 7.2-7.8, like it is in very young children/babies. This lets our cells resperate, get nutrition & excrete waste, be their best.
Super information👌amazing research thank you for sharing 🙏
We don't know the long term effects??? Why not ask people in India. They been taking it for decades.
Its more like 3000 + year.
That's not how science works.
@@fatmat3460 Science has been wrong many many many times. Example, eggs are bad, eggs are good, eggs are bad, eggs are good. This science argument has been going on for decades. I still remember when avocados were "bad". Yeah that is science.
@@davesaenz3732 That wasn't science, that was vegan activism.
@@davesaenz3732 Shall we count the number of times "ancient wisdom" was wrong? I'll happily start with my own people
i started taking Ashwagandha a couple days prior to your video. i'm glad i caught your video.
Very good, I am impressed!!
Great vid, but you missed going over the different types, such as KSM-66 for example, as well as extract ratios. Keep up the good work sir!
Can you elaborate please?
Excellent Content!
Great video! I had never heard of ashwagandha before watching this video. I'm particularly intrigued by the possible brain benefits. I think I'll give it a try.
Dear Dr Brad, thanks for the vid. I'd like to ask you about what you mean exactly in your google docs supplement stack with taking Ashwaganda 300mg on alternative weeks. Do you mean that you take it every day during one whole week and the next week you don't take any to start again with daily intake the week after that?
Very interesting. I've dismissed this product repeatedly as have thought it would probably contain harmful plant alkaloids and that recipients were taking it without there being any solid research to base any decisions on . Thank you so much for your diligent research.
Additional , with ' the stack ' you're taking ( I'll now watch your video on that! ) how has it impacted parameters such as ; energy levels , fitness / endurance , well being, increased cognitive stamina and sleep? Or is it difficult to objectively quantify how these collectively / synergistically impacted your health?
I'll now subscribe!
this supplement changed my life I was taking 600 mg a day and an extra 300 when I woke up at 2-3 am now I just take it twice a day ...I suffered from insomnia for 3 years ever since I changed to the keto diet ... they never stressed the importance of adaptogens since your body is physiologically stressed due to your diet change
I've been taking it for years. No adverse side effects. Helps with anxiety and I get a calm sleep.
How do you drink it? Is it in the morning or in the evening?
@@pjph5585 I usually take it in the evening, but you can take it morning & evening too. The powdered plant comes in capsules that make it easy to take. It doesn’t make you drowsy (like a drug), but rather takes away anxiety and is calming. One probably needs to take it for a few weeks to feel it’s effects. I guess it depends how severe ones condition is. Give it at least a good month or two. It needs time in your body to do it’s healing thing. Buy a good quality organic if you can.
@@DivineSource444 each brand of ashwagandha can lower your cortisol right? As long as ashwagandha?
@@pjph5585 Probably best to ask someone who is a medicinal herbalist (of which I am not). I can only speak of my experience & what worked for me. When I look for an ashwagandha product, I look for pure organic herb with at least 12% withanolides which should be stated on the label. Also Maximum strength capsules. You can contact master herbalist Dr. Paul Haider. He has a CZcams channel and has his contact details on there.
Great video
Been using this supplement for many years . Other countries have used this for hundreds of years
Wow.. this sounds exciting...
My first point of interest was neurogenesis... I play competitive video game, and my performance significantly dropped in the last 2 years and I suspect old age, hoping it will help!
Also, the sleep benefits that you mention, that's quite good since it just so happened that my sleep is not quite good and that got me excited too! :)
And looking at your shop link, i's a cheap supplement! Sold! :D
Thanks Dr Stanfield, I have been taking it for the testosterone benefits and to decrease cortisol.
Hi Brad..great info ..I've been taking it on and off for years.Alternate it with Korean Ginseng to some extent.( not recommended together).You'd be aware its been used as a tonic herb across India for centuries and highly regarded in ayervedic compendium of remedies. I buy it when I get over to Himalaya trekking....at 70 my testosterone is of the scale high at 34..not sure what the cause suggested possible pituitary tumour???..anyway going pretty well...thanks again.
Good video! I will try it!
It's good for both hypo and hyperthyroidism since its an adaptogen and can be taken long term without side effects.Its a popular ayurvedic supplement here in India
Hands down best supplement I've ever used...just miraculous!!!
I have been taking it for 4 months every day 470mg. It works for me really good.it helped with my stress levels and depression. Great video thank you
Hi Dr Brad stanfield, I’m wondering how you will be taking the supplement. Eg how long will you take it for and do you need to cycle it. I’ve really struggled at finding information on this. Any response will be appreciated.
Brad, your channel is the best ! I’ve been taking Ashwaganda at intervals but never clear on the mechanisms.
Thanks for clarifying 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the support
Greetings Dr.
Could you please make a video on stinging nettle benefits please.
Thank you
I take ashwaghanda every night. All I needed to hear was that it was a natural herb that boosted Testosterone and I was all in!!! Haha. What I didn’t realize was that it also improved my quality of sleep too so that was a pleasant surprise while I was taking it. Now you educated me because I had no clue that it boosted BDNF too? That’s crazy I didn’t know that. I love this channel. BDNF is so important.
Maybe you can educate your viewers on the importance of BDNF and what supplements boost BDNF. I know certain bacteria strains found in Probiotics boost BDNF, ashwaghanda, HIT workouts, Sleep, but I forgot what other supplements boost BDNF. Personally I think NMN boosts BDNF because I love doing HIT now and that changed the moment I started taking NMN with Fisetin.
Doctor, would love to hear what you think of Amla, the "Indian Gooseberry" which tests found to be the most antioxidant rich fruit known to mankind. By HUGE margins over any other type of food, fruit, grain, nut, herb or whatnot.
YES I am from India ,Amla is taken in various forms regularly and recently came to know found to have maximum antioxidant content but no western doctors talked about it.
No one even responds about it
Hi.watching your video going to try it. Sounds good im sure it also help us women balancing hormones we go through
thank you. I have taken it off and on in the past, but based on the evidence you presented here, I'm going to start taking it again, maybe like 4 weeks on, then a break for a week or two.
Excellent thanks for your reseach
Thank you for the review - what is your opinion on Ashwagandha's impact on RA? It's anti inflammatory properties are a plus, but does it modulate the overactive immune response or upregulate TH1? there are a lot of conflicting information doing the rounds...
Very well done.
Another great video Dr. Stanfield. Thank you :)
Please could you do a video on haritaki and mucuna. Love your videos. It would be really interesting to know what haritaki contains as this is considered as the king of all herbs in ayurvedic medicines and used my the yogis for thousands of years. The claim it oxygenates the body by 300% is bold. But from personal experience using it, for sure it quite powerful.
After watching your video I order Ashwagandha on Amazon. Ive taken before , but it was a while back. Ive been going to the gym and been feeling less wanting to work out. Maybe this might help me jump start my workouts.
Hello Doctor- wondering if you could share your blood test results and how you think any of supplements have effected. Thank you
I am going back to taking it again. My Mom's medical doctor prescribed for her and she's elderly, so I surmise it is safe.
The testosterone study study said it was not statistically significant compared to placebo but you present it as confirmation that it works.
Glad you pointed that out. I also noticed the p-values on the slide were too high to reach significance. They were low enough however to suspect that a larger study would probably reached statistical significance. At any rate, the next studies Brad presents show that the muscle training activity of ashwagandha shows clinical significance.
Hello Dr. Stanfield, thank you for your great Video!
I did some research on my own and there is always the same question around.
Can you take it consistently, or should you take breaks from it? I heard the body can get used to it, and it will lose its efficiency over time.
And if so, would it be better to take it for a few weeks straight or take it every other week?
Kind regards,
Marvin
Dr Brad, thanks for your review. I value your videos tremendously and the advice has been really useful. Can you also review this new herb called Shilajit? Heard it does wonders to normalize and optimize body hormones.
It's not a herb, it's a mineral rich resin. Great benefits though as it contains almost all elements of the periodic table. 👍Well worth of a review! 😊
Thanks Dr Standield. Will order a bottle . Searched for a ginkgo bilboa video also popular for mental accuity, but you've never commented on it. Curious if you plan to.
Hi Dr Brad, are we supposed to cycle on and off Ashwagandha? Thank you for all your hard work!
Been taking this for almost 2 years. Always feel good.
Hi can you tell me you taking a break from it or no? And you still taking it? Thank you
@@mouwlylee5014 I took a break, briefly. Back on. I take a break from supplements because of budget to. We all are different, follow what feels best for you
Took for a month, was having terrible headaches before! Now gone, noticed I don’t get so sore after workout either! Feel like I digress when I stop taking it! It’s a very powerful herb, I only take the tea, no powder, and I use it 3 weeks on, one week off! Don’t want to become addicted to it! It really does make you feel good!
IVe been taking it for over six months, it’s worth it.
I've been on Ash. for about a yr. and have noticed many improvements in sleep, muscularity, etc. and I'm 74 yrs. old. Also, i put a seizure prone dog on it and the severity and amount of seizures has seriouslly decreased.
It wasn't on my radar until this video. My stack is also getting pretty large, but I do have issues with falling asleep that I've had my whole life. It's pretty tempting to start taking it.
Do ittt
Spot
Regarding long=term 'over dose' you could consider rotating it in and out of your regime, monthly breaks, or otherwise.
Dr Stanfield - I just came across your channel and subscribed. A couple of questions:
1. Have you done any genetic test? The reason I am asking is that certain supplements may benefit one genotype and not others. Example: Omega 3 does not seem to help those with the APOE 4 gene and may even be detrimental.
2. You supplement stack seems to be increasing. With each one you add, are you testing any biomarkers before and after (12 weeks or x number of weeks) to verify if they have the intended benefit for you?
I look forward to your responses. Thank You
I have been taking Ashwagandha for a year - my supplement also has pepper an is 605mg Ashwagandha. I easily get depressed and can get worked-up over nothing. I just don't get depressed anymore. Not sure how healthy this is as with ups you must have some downs and I tried to cry once and I just couldn't. However, I do feel more confident and positive. I do strength training (among other activities) and have not noticed an improvement - but I am a woman and the study was done on males. I am a little worried about long-term effects and if I should stop suddenly or wind-down to like one every other day, etc. Overall it has been a really good experience. My supplements are: AM: Omega3, NR+Resveratrol+Quercetin, and PM:Omega3, Ashgawanda Hylauronic Acid, Vitamin C. I also take hydrolized collagen powder (alternating between bovine, porcine and marine-derived) and eat kefir (fermented milk) every morning with oats, chia seeds and honey. Ciao from Italy! L
Hi Doc, been on Ashwaghanda 66 now for two months 600 mg daily, together with NMN (donotage) I’m sleeping really well, not getting muscle loss either which really helps as I’ve not been able to go to the gym since February.😀👍
do your cortisol levels get restored by the morning? Because we do need cortisol to stay alert during the day
@@nikhilramabadran2959 I'm on Mykind Ashwagandha. It causes no problems with cortisol levels in the morning. But if you have been sleep deprived for a while, your body may want a couple of extra hours of sleep. Try to get them by going to bed earlier, instead of sleeping later. You can test cortisol with a blood test at 8AM & 4 PM, the reference times, or you can get saliva test kit. Recuperative sleep improves adrenal health. Rhodiola is a great daytime adaptogen you might want to look into. Also you might want to get an MTHFR gene mutation test. MTHFR mutations are very common. Knowing if you have a mutation & which mutation or mutations can help with selfcare to optimize methylation.
@@lavoter when do you take the adaptogen Rhodiola, and when do you take Ashwagandha ? what was the original purpose for you taking Ashwagandha ? What's the difference in the way Rhodiola and Ashwagandha work, considering both are adaptogens?
Hi Dr Stanfield, great informative vids as usual. I have a small question. How long do you take your supplements, do you take them continuously or do you take breaks, if so how long. Also do you take you’re supplements on shorter and longer fasts.
Thank you.
I personally take it one day on one day off and sometimes two days one one day off
Awesome vid, any chance you have lionsmane up for review? I tend to stack these two together. SHODEN AND lion Mane.
I have been taking ashwagandha for many years always with great responses certainly no toxic effects.
Are you interested in the Wim Hof Method? Would be interested to get your take on it - I know there have been other scientific response videos but I think yours would be unique and a valid addition to what's there already.
I love the way you say data
Subscribed! Can you look into Maca as well? I alternate between Maca Shilajit and Ashwagandha plus NMN and Resversatrol. Maca seems to give me the best results. I can highly recommend it!
I have been taking ASHWAGANA sporadically and have experienced some noticeable benefits. I recently had a stroke and have been trying to accelerate my recovery, which seems to have stalled. I plan to continue my intake of ASHWAGANGA on a more consistent basis.
Im sorry for your stroke
Keep taking it forsure
if you eat well and are not picky like vegans etc you can get everything you need from the diet
with a bit of help with vit D3 and zinc.
but Ashwagandha has benefits beyond supplementation.
I have been researching herbs and supplements for over 20 years.
I have been taking Ashwagandha an hour or two before bed for 3 weeks and I have noticed an improvement in my sleep I wake up refreshed, and I am a cyclist and my stamina has gotten stronger.
it's a very gentle herb but with strong effects, but takes time to work, I noticed a change in three to four days but it's much stronger now at 3 weeks.
this one is a keeper as it's the one that I have got the most results with.
as to the long term it's been used for thousands of years with no problems so I think it's ok.
Hi Dr.Brad Stanfield!
Have you ever heard about Astragalus roots?Some research said,Astragalus protect the Telomerase!?
Maybe you can help to find out is true or not.
Thank you!
Thanks Brad. Can you do a video about rhodiola rosea? Greetings from Germany!
also moringa powder please Brad
Love a high quality Rhodiola!! Greetings from Alaska!
Will look into it
Just started talking and I will let you know
Thank you

thanks Brad. can you tell us was supplement you take and what time of the day? thanks
I would like to hear you do an episode on sulpher or organic sulpher and what it does and why we need it. I read you can go to an animal feed store and buy it cheap. It's used for horses.
Very interesting, thank you, Brad! I am 71 and want to build muscle mass since time steals it! I have been a competitive and, later, a vigorous creative ice skater. Weighing 100 to, now, a better 90 lbs. at 5' thanks to WFPB diet, being little and light is a great DELIGHT and has served me well in pair skating and in life. After a skull fracture skating and 5 yrs. later, another slight fall that, in spite of head protection ( the Ice Halo), made me feel OFF for 5 days, I gave up my beloved way of existing (moving, feeling, expressing) on earth at 67. My generation of ice skaters never valued muscular upper bodies on women, but now I covet muscles wherever I can build them, knowing how aging is better with muscles! I found the niacin flush so extraordinarily unpleasant at 150 mg, that I am now taking 25 mg 3 X a day with meals so I don't feel it at all. I am a long way from a gram a day! Your recent video on NMN has us rethinking taking it. With the help of your videos, Dr. Greger et.al., I shall consider adding yet another supplement to my stack! Thank you.
Dr Brad you always give us good information about supplements. Thank you for your hard work. Can you please talk about L theanine . I have hypothyroid primarily they diagnose as a Hashimoto problem. What supplementsgood for thyroid (hypo) .
Been on it for 8 months @ 900mg, good product helps in the gym, I am 71 years old NO side effects at all, 300 mg/day did nothing.
