# How to Take Ashwagandha: Morning or Night, With Food?

## Q&A

**Q: Should I take ashwagandha in the morning or at night?**
A: Take ashwagandha based on how your body responds. If it promotes relaxation or mild drowsiness, take it in the evening; if it supports daytime stress resilience, take it in the morning with breakfast.

**Q: Should ashwagandha be taken with food or on an empty stomach?**
A: It is generally best to take ashwagandha with meals. While absorption is not strictly dependent on food, taking it with food reduces the risk of stomach irritation and nausea.

**Q: What is the recommended daily dosage of ashwagandha root extract?**
A: Clinical trials typically administer 250 mg to 600 mg of standardized root extract per day, often divided into two doses over an 8 to 10 week duration.

**Q: How long is it safe to take ashwagandha continuously?**
A: According to the NCCIH, ashwagandha is generally safe for short-term use up to 3 months. Long-term safety beyond 3 months remains unstudied, so periodic breaks are recommended.

**Q: What precautions should Malaysian consumers take before starting ashwagandha?**
A: Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and individuals with thyroid conditions or autoimmune diseases should avoid ashwagandha unless specifically approved by a physician.
