Avoid Taking Ashwagandha Before Exercise

Do not take ashwagandha prior to exercise if training for hypertrophy, strength, or endurance, because cortisol increases during exercise help drive adaptation.

1 / 1

Then I recommend that you not take your ashwagandha prior to exercise, because part of the adaptation response is triggered by increases in cortisol during exercise.
