Which form of Ashwagandha should you choose?

  • Ashwagandha powder & churna – the traditional form. The dried root is ground and usually mixed into warm milk or water. Good if you prefer a whole-herb product and like to adjust the amount yourself.
  • Capsules – a measured amount with no taste. KSM-66 capsules use a standardised root extract, which means each capsule contains a consistent level of the herb’s natural compounds.
  • Tablets & caplets – similar to capsules; organic caplets are made from certified organic root.
  • Gummies – a chewable option for people who dislike tablets or the earthy taste of the powder.
  • Ashwagandhadi churna & ghrit – classical Ayurvedic blends where Ashwagandha is combined with other herbs or prepared in ghee.

How Ashwagandha is traditionally taken

In Ayurveda, Ashwagandha powder is commonly taken with warm milk in the evening, while capsules and tablets are taken with water after a meal. Always follow the amount printed on your product’s label, as strength varies between powders and extracts.

Who should be careful with Ashwagandha

  • Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless your doctor advises it.
  • Talk to your doctor first if you take thyroid medication, sedatives, blood pressure or blood sugar medicines, or medicines that affect the immune system.
  • Stop using it and seek medical advice if you notice any unusual symptoms.
