Ashwagandha - 60 capsules
Ashwagandha for daily stress, sleep, and steady energy
Last updated: May 2026
Ancient Nutra Ashwagandha is a single-herb daily supplement for stress, sleep, and steady energy. Each capsule delivers 500mg of pure Ashwagandha root powder, sourced from naturally grown Withania somnifera and processed in our Sri Lankan facility. It is not a stimulant; it works gradually, with most people noticing effects between weeks 2 and 6.
What the research says
Ashwagandha is one of the most respected adaptogens in Ayurveda. A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis in BJPsych Open (Cambridge Core), covering 488 participants across seven randomised controlled trials, found Ashwagandha supplementation was associated with statistically significant reductions in serum cortisol versus placebo. A separate 2024 meta-analysis of 15 studies (873 participants) reported reduced anxiety scores compared to placebo.
How to take it
Take 1 capsule with a meal, once or twice daily. Some users prefer evening dosing for sleep support, others prefer morning for steady-day energy.
Who it is for
- Adults managing daily stress who want a gentle, herb-based support.
- Anyone whose sleep has become lighter or whose energy drops mid-afternoon.
- People who want to wind down without sedatives.
Frequently asked questions
Is Ashwagandha safe to take every day?
For most healthy adults, yes, at 300 to 600mg of root powder daily. Speak with your doctor if you are pregnant, on thyroid medication, or taking sedatives.
Should I take it morning or evening?
Either works. Evening if you want sleep support, morning if you want steadier daytime energy.
When will I notice a difference?
Most people describe changes between weeks 2 and 6 of consistent daily use.
Can I take it with coffee?
Yes. Ashwagandha pairs well with caffeine because it tones down the cortisol response while caffeine raises adrenaline.
