Shvaganda is a very potent Ayurvedic herb that possesses very strong stress relieving properties. It has been used in traditional medicine for ages because it helps people reduce and relieve anxiety and stress. And today in the modern world it is also often used as a great alternative to antidepressants. Now I've been taking Shvaganda for a very long time for several years actually and I can tell you it is a real game changer. But the thing is Shvaganda is non-toxic. However, many people report certain side effects and not many people talk about the side effects especially not many experts. So I decided to check all the potential side effects you can experience with Shvaganda and that's what I'm going to talk about today. And I'll also tell you how to avoid those side effects. So let's check the first and the most common side effects. And the most common side effects are the aria and upset stomach. I personally never experienced those issues because I always followed the recommended dosage and I always took quality extract. But you can happen to have this issue and if it does happen to you then you need to check if you're taking a quality compound or if you're taking maybe a too high dosage of Shvaganda. People who reported those issues to me are my followers who were experimenting with other entropics and they were combining them making their own entropic stacks. So if you don't do that at home if you know what you're taking if you're taking the right quality compound at the right dosage then this should not happen to you and you shouldn't worry about these effects too much. Also keep in mind that the recommend daily dosage is 300 to 600 milligrams per day of an extract and you can take up to six grams of powder. If you stick to that then those side effects that I mentioned are probably not going to happen but if you get over that then well you never know what's going to happen. Sedation and mild drowsiness can also happen to you. Yes it is true Ashvaganda is a little bit sedative and it can cause drowsiness. Now if you are a very active individual if you are CEO or manager or a professional that needs lots of brain power and try to achieve big performance then I suggest you do not take Ashvaganda in the morning because if you do then yeah you can maybe feel have less energy maybe feel more drowsiness and so on and the problem with drowsiness is that it can lead to demotivation. Now I didn't find a side effect in any of the studies it wasn't reported but some people talked about demotivation and probably it happens to them because well they have less energy they feel more relaxed and maybe because of that they feel less motivated. Now this similar happens if you supplement Bacopa Monieri and I often combine these two adaption herbs and you can learn more about Bacopa up here. So if this is a problem for you and if you really want to be productive want to be in this peak performance state then again take Ashvaganda in the afternoon or in the evening even better to avoid those issues. Now other side effects include increased thyroid levels yes Ashvaganda can increase your thyroid levels and this can be especially problematic if you suffer from hyperthyroidism it can decrease your blood pressure level it can cause constipation and it can even decrease your appetite.

Now those side effects are very rare I rarely heard about them also if you look at the scientific research you know they happen very very rarely but if they do here's what you can do. So first of all always follow the recommended dosage never take a higher than recommended dosage because that's when usually people suffer from the side effects that I just mentioned. Secondly always take a quality extract personally I'm a big fan of two extracts one is called KSM66 and the other is called Sensoryl both are great both are standardized extracts but there are some small differences and you can learn more about them in this video up here. Another thing you can do is do not take Ashvaganda in the morning and always cycle it this means take it for a while maybe for five days in a row and then stay two days off or maybe take it for three weeks in a row and then stay one week off just to be on the safe side. By the way guys do I know how well does your brain work? Well check our free brain assessment below in the description there's a link and get your brain health score. Now if you have issues with drowsiness then you can combine Ashvaganda with a stimulant like coffee or caffeine or even with green tea extract or L-theanine this may increase your energy levels this can boost your focus and these compounds work really well together. Now there has been one case when a person was giving five grams of Ashvaganda for 10 days in a row and this person suffered from itching sensation on his penis so if you have a penis and if this happens to you then of course stop taking Ashvaganda immediately and consult your doctor. But yeah no doubt about that Ashvaganda is a real game changer there are so many benefits you can expect from Ashvaganda we didn't talk about those benefits today but check out this video up here and really learn everything you need to know about Ashvaganda before you start supplementing it.
