Hi, thanks for reaching out. Ashwagandha is generally considered safe for most healthy adults when taken in recommended doses. If you’re taking 2 capsules daily as per the product label and not experiencing any side effects, it is usually fine to continue.
Next Steps
However, a few things to keep in mind:
Avoid if you have thyroid problems, stomach ulcers, or autoimmune conditions unless advised by your doctor.
Do not combine with sedatives, thyroid medication, or immunosuppressants without medical supervision.
If you develop stomach upset, drowsiness, or any unusual symptoms, stop and consult a doctor.
Health Tips
If you are otherwise healthy and using it as a gym supplement for energy or recovery, you may continue, but use it for limited durations and take breaks rather than continuously long-term.

Hello,
Yes, Himalaya Ashwagandha capsules are generally considered safe when taken in recommended doses. Two capsules daily is within the usual dosage range. Ashwagandha is often used to improve energy, reduce stress, and support recovery.
ð¹ A few important points:
Take it after meals to avoid gastric irritation.
Avoid if you have thyroid disorders, low blood pressure, or are on other long-term medications unless reviewed.
Continuous long-term use is usually safe, but itâs good to take short breaks (after 2â3 months).
So yes, you can continue it safely as part of your fitness routine.
For any gym-related queries about supplements, injuries, or fitness guidance, you can connect with me here on Practo or reach me directly at eight five two seven one six four six seven seven.

It is safe for 2 to 3 months use, safety of long term use is not established. It may cause bloated abdomen, upset stomach, diarrhoea, rarely liver problems.
Consult a physician physically, for long term use or if you have some other health issue or are taking some medication.
