There are no official dosing guidelines for ashwagandha, but study participants typically take between 300 mg and 1,000 mg daily for up to three months.
In one study, participants who took 1,200 mg of ashwagandha daily for six weeks reported constipation as a side effect more often than people who took 900 mg of the herb daily. Our gummies only have Ashwagandha Root 30:1 Extract 25mg (25mg per gummy).
