Ashwagandha can cause some gastrointestinal distress. Side effects can include discomfort in the stomach, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. They naturally disappear over time.
You can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal symptoms by taking ashwagandha with meals. However if you have stomach ulcers, avoid taking this supplement.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid using ashwagandha, as research has suggested it might produce negative results.
Ashwagandha may lower blood sugar levels and decrease blood pressure, so monitor your reaction carefully if you have diabetes or low blood pressure.
Ashwagandha also regulates thyroid hormone levels. If you are already using medication for thyroid hormones, ashwagandha is not recommended. *
