Ashwagangha

[UsmcOldSchoolMuscle]

I really never noticed anything from KSM, but the Sensoril by Doctor's Best is excellent for sleep. If I take a few later in the day, it's makes me tired. That's the only downside to it.

Doctor's Best Superior Sleep is a comprehensive product that I can attest to.

I am using Ashwagandha since 1y on and off. I think that it helped me falling asleep and recovering cns.
I would cycle it on and off because, i am convinced that everything that messes with brains needs to be cycled.


Yesterday i have ordered Halcyon from JP nutrition, i am curious to try it when on Tren since sometimes my sleep is a bit light on it.

Per Serving (4 Capsules):

• 2000mg Taurine
• 600mg KSM-66 Ashwagandha
• 500mg Magnesium Bisglycinate
• 332mg Magnesium Oxide
• 200mg L-Theanine

I don't believe a lot in supplements but this improved my sleep.

The profile looks solid but not sure why the added Mag oxide. It’s not all that bioavailable.

Everyone should incorporate Magnesium if they aren’t already. It’s a staple. I make sure I never run out. If I stop my sleep suffers

A plain laxative.
Get some magnesium pidolate.

Stuff is amazing but yes you should take breaks because as @UsmcOldSchoolMuscle mentioned it is very powerful and can impact cortisol levels greatly. I’ll say it helps me sleep amazingly . Currently using sensoril at 500mg but today starts my break

I was only able to find this:

Effect of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) root extract on amelioration of oxidative stress and autoantibodies production in collagen-induced arthritic rats - PubMed

The results showed that WSAq exhibited antioxidant and anti-arthritic activity and reduced inflammation in CIA rats and suggests the potential use of this plant in the treatment of arthritis.

I am a proponent of Magnapower which is creatine chelated with magnesium. It's an easy way of increasing magnesium intake.

There are some good supps from the trainedbyjp brand although I don't think it's sold in the U.S

Anyone one feel a need to cylcle this on and off? The reason I ask is because after taking a month off and taking it once again today, noticed an increase sense of well being. I’m not taking anything else.

Yes. I'll go 2 weeks at a time.

 

[Matsuo Munefusa]

I do see many say that we should cycle adaptogens or do a 5 day on, 2 day off sort of protocol. I personally was taking it for years without breaks but lately decided to take breaks. It makes sense to try to prevent our bodies from adapting to stuff.

Did you really say we should try to avoid our bodies adapting to stuff while using adaptogens?

Just kidding, I agree with you on breaks though. I think it’s more to let any peripheral effects like hormones cortisol and prolactin normalize.

i like to switch up to KSM once in awhile but sensoril is my go to. There’s more studies on strength gains with the KSM extract so I like to mix and match.

Oh surely I've encountered and research many profound studies conducted on Ashwagandha. When I stated "I was only able to find this" I was purely speaking of tests conducted on CRP.

The primary effect I seek from Ashwagandha is the adaptagenic effect of helping the body adapt to stress. It's potential calming affect and anti-anxiety ability are most desirable for myself. Of which Sensoril has worked better than KSM-66. I prefer 250mg of Sensoril to 600mg of KSM-66, being 25 mg of withanolides to 30mg respectively. From which I extrapolate that the additional properties of Sensoril having a whole plant extract works better than the root being the sole source from KSM-66, at least for myself.
Aside from being extracted from solely the root, what I don't like about KSM-66 is that there are 2.5 and 5 percent versions, lactose and lactose free versions and that is too many variables in my opinion. Many companies don't list precisely which version they have.

Zembrin, Sensoril and Rhodiola Rosea are my primary adaptogens for stress and anxiety.

I take bisglicinate at night and threonate at morning

What dosage you using ?

Agree i prefer sensoril with rodiola too for exact same reasons

I use between 800 mg to a gram.

 

[TheRoid]

It's worth noting that without enough magnesium, sleep quality aside, the whole protein synthesis machinery is impaired quite substantially.

I lost my sense of science-speak on that one lol. But the fact remains it's something that a lot of smart people advise.

Only a complete psychopath doesn't take magnesium

Is this elemental magnesium or total ?

Im kind of confused with the elemental thing
