Tag: Ashwagandha warnings

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), while ashwagandha is likely safe for short-term use, its long-term effects are not well-researched. This lack of long-term safety data is one of several important reasons to exercise caution before you decide to take ashwagandha.

Recent studies from regulatory bodies like the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) warn that, despite its popularity, certain individuals face potential health risks and should not take ashwagandha supplements. This includes children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with pre-existing liver conditions.
