Doesn't shutting down Cytochrome P450 3A4 prevent the breaking down of Ashwaganda?

How much should i take per day ?

Where the fuck do I find a supplement for this you never mention that in any of ur videos

Becareful before you actually die from taking it so much lol

@@winds1010 Pretty sure that you would puke long before you took enough to have health consequences.

Melatonin or magnesium does the same thing . Deep sleep

I just took 2 like an hour ago and that shit makes you sleep

@@praba991ify Magnesium allows me to sleep like a baby

Thanks for the kind words! Not too much!

@@NutritionLibrary -> Meaning there is never too much or am I taking too much? Also, I open the capsules and mix it with water and drink it as a shooter.

@@SergeLabelle “there is never too much” is very obviously a false and even dangerous statement from a medical point of view these are drugs that alter your body mechanism and can bring it out of balance severly if taken in high doses especially when mixing products. even traditional drugs which are more designed to have only a single effect on the body have alot of interactions and its hard to predict how they interact in the body. herbal drugs in generalhave more points where they do work in the body (hence the lot of benefits through it) but it is often less understood which microprocesses each drug alters so mixing them can lead to unforseen interaction. start slowly and see how your body reacts and dont overdose. more isn’t allways better. also as a intensive care doctor i would advice to be super carfull regarding keto, in fact i would not advice a keto diet at all. it is not a physiological stateof the human body and can in worst case lead to critical illness.

we indians use all of dem in our regular diets 😅😅😅

Nice flex

Sounds like a good cycle!

How much quantity of powder?

So take the pills (in my case) 2 days , then don’t for 2 days , then take the pills for 2 days , then don’t for 1 day and repeat cycle?

how much mcg per pill bro

😂😂😂

what

Compound V? Man of Culture, I see😂😂

Yes. This is why I typically recommend starting your micro cycles after a longer 1-3 month cycle

@@NutritionLibrary so to double check, you can use ashwagandha without ever 'completely' stopping? for example: J-F-M: Macro A-M-J: Micro (4 days on, 3 days off) J-A-S: Macro O-C-D: Micro (4 days on, 3 days off) P.S. thanks for all the info! I've been taking 'fundamental' supplements for 15 years, but since I discovered your channel I'm open to expanding my supplements. Greetings from Amsterdam

@@huh88huh je moet gewoon wat meer wiet roken

No problem!

Yeah, definitely had some great info on timing. To be honest, I would take his cycling advice with a grain of salt. It seems a bit arbitrary to me. If the rational is general tolerance and homeostasis then he's not really saying anything most people don't know. We should look at which receptors it affects and how they are affected (as it differs by receptor). Tolerance can really differ by substance and if we look at medicines or substances similar to the effect of ashwagandha such as SSRIs, we see that we don't prescribe these in a cycled pattern. In fact we usually have patients take them for at least a year continuously then taper off for the desired outcome. The main thing is, there isn't enough data to make a solid recommendation on cycling times. But hey if 3 months on 1 month off or half week one and half week off feels good for you, go for it

@@jackkeiser4244 that's a solid point that i was thinking about myself. Another example is kava, it has reverse tolerance which means the more often you take it the more effective it becomes.

@Box Addict so which one are you saying... You can take it constantly or intermittently? I'm talking about taking it intermittently which would be the opposite of what a seller would want so I'm lost on what your comment is referring to.

@@serious7179 dude contradicted the shit out of himself 😂🤦

I have 3 organizers. 🤦

Yeah! Iv been doing some in depth research on Carnitine lately. I’ll shoot a video on it here soon!

@@NutritionLibrary did you make that video yet?

This may be the case to some degree. But I would contend that almost all medicinal compounds, if taken every day, will eventually cause tolerance of some sort. It may not be as noticeable in some individuals, and may not ever be noticed if a less than modest dose is used. Most that I know that take it, and then stop, experience a rebound effect most noticeably in symptoms of anxiety. Even when anxiety wasn’t there in the first place. This is a sign of tolerance was established. But again, everyone is different and may not experience this.

@@NutritionLibrary I've gained tolerance after almost 2 years of using Himalaya Ashwagandha, feeling stressed out and anxious just like before I started taking it...

@@NutritionLibrary Its very interesting that some people developed anxiety after stoping taking it even though they didnt take it for anxiety in the first place. I ask myself what will happen to me if I take it for anxiety and stop in order to cycle.

Uchiha9Unme

No problem!

Are these the ASHWAGANDHA capsules? What benefits are you experiencing?

Do you have any withdrawal or rebound anxiety when you take a break from it?

I’m glad you like it! I’m trying to stay as unbiased as possible

Awesome! I’m glad you are seeing good results

I hadnt slept for three days, took 2 on 1 gram in total and within an hour I could sleep.

Nutrition Library u should do a video on shilajit

@@Vixinaful did you take it before bed?

Placebo?

You should take schisandra and rhodiola on your off days. Remember ashwagandha and other adaptogens build tolerance. Holy basil and panax ginseng are worth trying too.

Sounds like Carri Richardson should have taken this product then. What do you think? Are you an athlete??

Lol^

Have you tried cycling 2 days on 2 days off ?

@@bradsharman565 Yeah I've started both cycle it/ use more sparingly now and have found some improvment.

Actually I feel like I will clarify also that, since cleaning up my diet, exercise and addressing my life stresses properly, and not over using adaptogens and not using them every day, they have become more effective again.

@@xavierhernandez1810 That's the thing. They help, but they can't carrie your body or mind for you. It's still a supplement. You are at the core of it all, and it's you who has to work on your own, not the supplements, they are just an small aid. Figured that out the hard way. ^^ The big life lesson when it comes to your body: everything in moderation. :)

@@WhiteErFox Yeah your 100% correct, Balance and moderation has always been a slight issue for myself but something I learning to do alot better now, and yeah atm I try to just have some ashwaganha and rhodiolla on me at all times but to only take only when I feel I really need it. And it works like a charm, in the same way, eating a solid healthy meal, resting, stretching can be equally rejuvenating.

Awesome! Glad you think so!

He has a video where he breaks that down

Awesome! So glad it helps!

@@NutritionLibrary Do ashwaganda increase sperm count

Exactly

You have not health problems because you are young.

Eat healthy.

@@Doriesep6622 Agreed. No such thing as a 320 lbs HEALTHY person.

Thanks for the kind words. I am trying my best to remain as unbiased as possible. I will probably do a series here soon on the most crucial vitamins and minerals. Stay posted

Would be great for that purpose!

Yes!

Yea that's what I'm doing Monday to Thursday

IMO I agree with your logic - curious what Zach says regarding Ashwaghanda reducing cortisol ... thereby allowing- more inflamation. Seems like an inverse reaction for you! .

It definitely is. But it also reliably increases thyroid hormone, which can be stimulating for some

@@NutritionLibrary Thank you for the introduction, i bought my ashwagandha on ebay recently. I just want to give it a try. Ashwagandha help me once with anxiety issues, and the supplement works perfect after training.

Great questions!! I typically recommend taking it every day for 3 months, then switching to the micro cycles that I discussed. And YES. Theanine is a GREAT option for your off days. It may also benefit you to take several weeks off once per year to help reset tour body. That would be my long term approach.

@@NutritionLibrary Just wondering, why do you recommend starting off with just 3 months straight? It is to see how your body reacts to it? Because i just got my ashwandha and was thinking of doing 5 days on 2 off to avoid tolerance buildup

I’m sure it is possible

You may want to ask your family about any history of thyroid issues. There are also clusters in certain areas, NY and NC both have some. Thyroid issues are weirdly common.

*You're supposed to take a break from these kind of things aswell. For example a week off after 3 months of taking.. i dunno research it*

@@zeeshha8762 its 2 month after that you should take a week break

@@LS-hu1lm in those areas they have an increase fluoride intake in the water supply and flouride reacts with the thyroid T cells.

It was?

yeah how many grams are too little or too much

I think it's different for everyone. Although studies shows (would give a link if I remember the web page with the paper on it) that around 500mg give the best results. 250mg was mediocre and less then that gave the smallest effect. So yeah, between 250, max 500mg (anything above it isn't doing anything anymore) would be the ideal dose.

@@WhiteErFox Do you know if it's the same for ksm-66?

I know an herbalist who says 3,000mg a day

I like Pretty much everything Jarrow makes. They have a good KSM

Awesome! I’m glad it works well for you!

What time do u take them?

I take mine before bed.

I’ll do a video on it soon. I’m not a big fan of introducing exogenous hormones into the body

Nutrition Library awesome! I was advised to by a counselor over a year ago. I think it ultimately had a negative effect on libido. I’ve just gotten some tongkat Ali from BS in today I plan on micro cycling every other week with ashwagandha.

Good plan! I cycle between those two as well

Lol truth.

@@NutritionLibrary can I take ashwagandha for a 5 days on 2 days off cycle? Is that a good way too or like you said, should I take it for 3 months on with a month or 2 off? Thanks Nutrition Library! Fernando.

Fernando Angelone in my opinion the best cycle is to do 2-3 months on, followed by micro cycles of a few days on and a few days off

@@NutritionLibrary thanks man!👍🏻👊🏻

Nutrition Library hello! when you say follow by micro cycle, is it following it right after you finish the 3 month period?

Perfect

Me too

This is my experience exactly, which is why I take it at lunch or with dinner, so that it doesn’t keep me up before bed.

No problem. Thanks for taking the time to say something!! I’m glad you enjoyed it

Also keep in mind that the last 3 hours or so, there is very little in the bloodstream anymore

@@NutritionLibrary 1 teaspoon a day?

Yeah. Try taking it in the evening time with dinner. This may help with regulating your sleep better!

@@NutritionLibrary Thanks for the advice Zach...... I figured out what it was. I started taking Vit B12 after my lunch everyday, so I stopped taking it, and hey presto, my sleeps got back to normal ! ................... But the best thing is, this video of yours gave me the information about cycling on and of Ashwagandha so for that I thank you big time!

Yeah. That would be good!

If I were you I would pick a schedule where I alternate between Tongkat Ali and Ashwagandha

I am also suffering from anxiety... Pls tel me how should I take Ashwaganda

@@NutritionLibrary Good to know, thanks.

Willian monteiro pires wouldn’t necessarily be a bad idea. But I think a better approach would be two pair two of the compounds together like Ash + Ginseng on workout days and Rhodiola + theanine on non workout days. That way the effects can build up without you developing tolerance. I’ve actually done the above stack

Did you make a decision about this William?

I have another video on that exact topic. Check out the Ashwagandha playlist

@@NutritionLibrary so do it really maximize your size please be honest ?

@@Glitchgod-er8wl bro 😭 u use it for your 🍆 u really got a shrimp it’s used for stress 💀 no offense tho

Thanks for the kind words!

Lol

I've been hearing that, but most people don't get affected like that. Some in fact get thicker and healthier hair.

Well this is a bit late response, but for me ksm-66 has been perfect. No headaches or anything after a year of taking it

Shalom Timotha Is that your gravity defying natural hair, once yes, I love it? Are you into wellness?

@@jessesolomon6700 Shalom! Lol:) Yes, that’s my natural hair. I’m into wellness, I share my health and detox journey here on KZfaq.

@@TimothaLanae Shalom and thanks for replying. Much congrats to you for rocking your superior natural hair to the envy of our natural enemy. Do you and can we converse via email?

Good! Sounds like an excellent plan!

I’m going to try this!

Me too

But for 3 months? .. then totally stop for 2 months .. or all year long ....

If you use both together, You will stay awake like an owl.

It doesn’t matter. Whatever works best for you. Some people like it before bed. Some like it in the morning. I like it in the afternoon or post workout.

Monday and Thursday is best for intermittent fast

I take it in the morning. Wakes me up instantly

Thanks man! Glad you enjoy it! I agree. I’m down to 1-2 per week

I’m glad you enjoyed!

@@NutritionLibrary can you tell what it's called in urdu or Hindi this herb?

That’s a very good point. I can’t say this is the case with your situation in particular, but a lot of medications that are effective over the long run are effective largely because of the the adaptations that the body undergoes because of taking the compound for a long period of time. A lot antidepressants are like this, in that they are only effective in the since that they cause receptor adaptations after you take them for long periods of time. A lot of the later generation anti depressants aren’t effective unless you take them long term.

That’s awesome! Cool to hear that application. That’s very interesting!

David Richmond nice to hear that ashwagandha helped you. I have OCD and maybe i will try it.

No problem!

Perfect. I do this as well with Ashwagandha and holy basil occasionally

@acidobay can u break down how u cycle them.. the dosage , an usage of how long u take it.. an break off from it

@@justineandserena You can do it a few ways. In a weekly cycle you can do 5 days on 2 days off (weekends) take another adaptogen for those 2 days. Or 1 month on 1 adaptogen and then switch to another for a month and then another until you come back around. Or you can combine 2 at the same time for 5 days and then 2 days off. Or combine 2 adaptogens for a month and then stop and introduce another 2 for a month. The body will always adapt itself and lower the efficacy of herbs, this is why cycling is necessary. I have now also introduced Astragalus into my adaptogen regimine, take a look at the benefits - scitechdaily.com/8-amazing-benefits-of-astragalus-root-according-to-scientific-studies/ Take adaptogens on an empty stomach in the morning (at least 30-60 minutes before food) with 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar in spring water / filtered water to improve digestion / absorption.

Yes, there should be no negative reactions. Magnesium would probably also help you. A lot of people are deficient, which leads to anxiety. It would likely benefit you to correct that deficiency

Nutrition Library Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

Super interesting!

Omg, I also get a hoarse voice if I'm on ashwagandha for awhile

Try taking L-theanine with your caffeine! Works wonders for me. Completely mitigates all the side effects of high caffeine intake

Thanks! Take a few weeks off, and then start doing a micro cycles. Because of my health goals, I personally only take it on workout days, 3-4 days per week.

@@NutritionLibrary p0p000pppppppppp

Yeah. The main compounds I cycle through when I’m not taking Ash are theanine, Tongkat Ali, theanine, and panax ginseng. I have videos on all of those. Check them them out and see which one might be best for you.

More than likely, yes. But it will take slightly longer to experience the long term adaptations you might be looking for

Did you do this my friend?

Might just be my personal opinion. Maybe I'm just tired or something. Don't take it personally, no harm meant. Just critique.

Anyways, you earned yourself a new subscriber. Love the content 🙏

Honestly thanks for the input. I’ll try to be more engaging.

Glad you are enjoying the content! Start with Zinc, magnesium, calcium, and boron, Vit D and K. Great herbs to try would be coleus forskolin, and cissus q.

Lucy Lanuchi Hi, look into vitamin k2 mk7, helps take calcium from the blood and puts it into the bones, there are videos to tell you more

Yeah, everyone reacts differently

Lol thanks. I wouldn’t be opposed to that happening

I hope so

Both great herbs! Do an initial cycle of 3 months. Then take a 3 week break, and then start doing micro cycles

3 weeks is usually a good break period. After 3 weeks you should probably be good to start doing micro cycles. Try switching to theanine and Tongkat Ali while you are off of Ash.

I’m my opinion yes. Research suggests that it would be safe to take for up to 3 months every day, and then begin cycling as you mentioned

There is definitely something to be said about the wisdom of traditional medicine!!

@@NutritionLibrary true, and by the way whats your take on NOW foods brand as a whole and their ashwagandha supplement in particular , i tried taking locally procured root powder but it has a nasty taste and smell to it.

@@NutritionLibrary I want to take it for my no fap withdrawal symptoms as I feel stiffness in my neck region , it's day 56!

OSIRIS now is a decent product. Good for the price

Perfect.

@@NutritionLibrary what's your recommended dosage?

Maybe there’s something you can swap it out for. I’m trying to research something else myself.

@@shessuchaboss Try L-Tyrosine and 5-HTP read about them, I watched a video on KZfaq it was a lay Dr talk about it

@@Sabaseb 5htp is not something I would try first. It's potent and people get very serious side effects

Seams to be a good cycle!

For sure. It is great tool for any anyone in calorie deficit!

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

most supplments that strongly effect neurotransmitter levels should be cycled occasionally. My rule of thumb is to do a 1-3 month cycle of daily use, followed by 1-3 weeks off. Then start your micro cyles. Also there is no hard evidence for how many days to be off and on. They are general recommendations based on what works for a lot of other people.

@@NutritionLibrary thank you for the prompt response man. Cheers!

@@NutritionLibrary just asking why not start right away with mini cycles??

no problem!
