Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Ashwagandha is not known to produce any side effects as you mentioned.
On the contrary,some preliminary clinical evidence suggests that ashwagandha might improve sperm quality, but not sperm count, in infertile men. It is not known if taking ashwagandha can actually improve fertility.
