What ASHWAGANDHA can do for low testosterone

Guys often ask me. "Are there any natural remedies for low testosterone?"
In this video, I look into that question by exploring some of the research behind an indian herb called ashwagandha.
Here's a few links to some ashwagandha products on amazon:

I began taking this a few months ago in hopes to treat low testosterone. It decreased my cortisol levels and decreased my stress and anxiety but did nothing to my testosterone levels. Still a win in my book. I’m Much more chill now than I was.

I have taken Adderall for many years at varying doses, and it really helps me - I have found ashwagandha significantly helps with side-effects. I told my psychiatrist and he was happy to hear it. Been taking them together for years now.

Hi how long have you been used? And do you take a break from it? Thank you

Thanks and welcome

Thanks doc. Ashwagandha is prescribed in Ayurveda. It is definitely well researched.

I started the Ashwaganda KSM 66 version, and it has increased my energy, enhanced my focus, relaxed me, I'm less nervous, I sleep soundly at night, I'm excited to exercise. My mind is less clouded and I can think clearly I'm more of a happy person also compared to when I wasn't on it, so might have helped me with depression. It's great and has improved my quality of life. I have been taking it 6 months now. I do sometimes take it with GABA which gives me a calm sensation and helps with my anxiety. Although most times I take the ashwaganda in the morning and the GABA on evenings. Would loves to know if there are any long-term side effects of taking it???

Liver damage

[@adnanmaharaj324]

@@nathanweinstein2766 did blood tests and liver enzymes were good. Actually everything seems really good all I'm very healthy. It turned back the clock a bit. Of course, if you have any medical conditions like kidneys or liver disease or family history of it, please see a doctor and run some blood tests. Stay Safe 😷 and God Bless 🙏

I'm on Thyroid meds. My thyroid levels get better while taking Ashwagandha Root, but my liver numbers were really bad after being really good. Thoughts?

I'm using Ashwaghanda KSM. Mostly to lower my cortisol. And I combine it with tongkat ali. Tongkat is more effective for test as I see in clinical trials. Don't want to make medical claims. Just what I read from clinical trials. (you don't grow muscle from it). I don't want to make medical claims as you ask in your description. But I notice positive effect from it. And that's not a placebo effect. Ashgwaghanda has a bit of another effect. More calming if I may say that. A lot of clinical trials you can see on mayo clinic and pubmed. Thanks for sharing. Grtz

I took it for a few months. 1200mg with black pepper. I’m 34. I was waking up with my dick so hard it felt like it was ready to pop. I’d say it increased my testosterone a decent amount.

Soy products do increase estrogen. I thought that was common knowledge.

[@Bikes-and-Basses]

This seemed legit right up until he said soy products increase estrogen. That myth has been disproved by numerous studies. If this guy doesn't know that, then how can we trust his opinion on Ashwaganda?

[@ericlopez3585]

Soy products do increase estrogen … you must be a leftist

[@WyrmtongueDCLXVI]

Soy protein does lower testosterone which causes the body to then produce more estrogen.

[@Arthur-fz5dw]

@@WyrmtongueDCLXVI It's a myth, not supported by scientific studies. Comparing diets rich in soy vs no soy leads to no difference in testosterone levels.
