When should I take ashwagandha every day and how much?

The best time to take ashwagandha is later in the day or in the evening, specifically because you want cortisol levels to be elevated earlier in the day for energy. Taking ashwagandha in the evening aligns with the natural decline in cortisol and can support better sleep and stress reduction 1. As for the dosage, it can vary greatly. It's advised to refer to the bottle's instructions from a reputable brand or consult resources like Examine.com which discuss a range of dosages used in various studies. Andrew Huberman personally takes ashwagandha before sleep or with his last meal of the day, which is at least 2 hours before sleeping. Again, it's important to determine if it's right for you and possibly consult a healthcare provider 1.
