Suggest Dosage For Ashwagandha While Suffering From Stress And Excess Weight Gain
My doctor suggested I take ashwagandha for stress and possible weight reduction. What would be the appropriate amount to take, and when should it be taken - I bought 600 mg. and it says to take 2x daily. Should these be divided up? Should it be taken on an empty stomach? Should it be taken day or night?
