Jokes one them, I didn't need Ashwaghanda to feel this way.
Though I do want a higher sex drive for the shits and giggles.
>ashwaganda
yeah, sounds legit and effective
it gave me heart palpitations
am i allergic or what
>is coffee good for you
DNA damage?
The widely used medicinal herb Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) has been recently reported to cause liver damage. Withanone is a major metabolite of Ashwagandha. Withanone was found to cause DNA damage. Withanone forms adducts with amines and thiols.
>Finally find a good OTC antianxiety pill
>It damages your DNA
it do be like that
>The liver injury presented 2 to 12 weeks after starting ashwagandha with a cholestatic or mixed pattern of injury, jaundice and pruritus. Immunoallergic and autoimmune features were not prominent. Jaundice tended to be protracted but ultimately resolved without fatalities or chronic injury. Because commercial herbal preparations are often mixtures of herbs and nutritional products and can be mislabeled and contain unknown herbs and medications, it is not always clear whether the reported cases were due to ashwagandha and one of its components or to a contaminant. In several reported cases, however, the commercial product being taken was tested and found to have ashwagandha without other contaminants. Thus, clinically apparent liver injury attributable to ashwagandha appears to occur, but is rare.
>Likelihood score: C (probable cause of clinically apparent liver injury).
It's a nothingburger, I've been taking ash for over 3 months and had my bloodwork done last week, no sign of liver damage.
Meme drug that fricks with your liver and makes you feel like you're dead inside if you take too much. Only take it if you're a gigasperg who needs to calm down more than anything else in life
no ashwaganda makes me feel like an emotionless sociopath. i hate it
holy frick these captchas. i remember why i stopped coming on this site now
So turning into Patrick Bateman is a bad thing now?
>t. hasn't watched the movie to the end
> it was all a LARP
I think he knows
>hasn't read the book where bateman possibly fricks guys in college
I've stopped taking all supplements. Fish oil was dropped for eating salmon more. I suppose I could take vitamin D
I’ve been taking ashwagandha for 3 months now, every couple of days.
My liver did seem to be affected, but I know that only because I have a bad liver inherited from my dad.
The emotionless thing is real, took the edge off anxiety big time. This basically also improved my guitar playing.
I’m less driven to do anything, it did turn me lazy.
I didn’t knew about the dna damage and the liver damage.
Also, my mom has thyroid problems that I might’ve inherited also.
Finally found a good anxiety relief powder and it fricks with everything I’m weak at…
Take the Shoden variant from Nootropics Depot for a month and you'll see the results for yourself.
Gave me acne
That is a man
It cleared my mind like nothing else before
>stopped smoking weed
>killed my anxiety (even before i stopped smoking weed)
>emotions are still here and there
>sex drive tripled
First time hearing about the dna thing like few anons here, tbh try it for a month
For those of you thinking the emotionless side effect sounds cool, listen to this.
>been taking ashwaganda for a year now
>One day me and the gf were walking on the street
>Cat comes out of no where and gets fricking splattered by a car
>Immediately turn to horrified GF and say "Well, that's all folks!" in a bugs bunny voice
>Get dumped later that night
so yeah....just think twice before taking it.
Wait so it made you based?
i would fricking laugh so much holy shit because i need those obscene amount of emotion spikes to actually feel something
t. fellow ashwagandha user
I think it just allowed your latent Autism to come bubbling to the surface, anon.
Hmm that wasnt ashwa’s fault
No wonder you got dumped. You used a Bugs Bunny voice instead of a Porky Pig voice with the stutter. Rookie mistake.
She didn’t loved you, nobody leaves because of a so based/moronic joke. Screw her
My emotions were blunted before ash so it doesnt matter
if it was, it would be illegal
Any powder brand you guys can recommend from Amazon?
ive been taking st johns wort
pros: good for low tier anxiety, stimulant effect similar to coffee, lower stress, no side effects, moderate antidepressant effect
cons: useless for more intense anxiety
>this cheap otc thing helped me, so im sharing my experience with other people
>noooooo you cant just not pay for medical insurance to afford an expensive doctor to tell you to get on a daily regimen of amphetamines and xanax and SSRIs and then buy all of them every month noooooooo
Im naturally not an anxious person and have blunted emotions. Maybe im ash waganda.
Tried ashwauganda from Now Foods according to the dosage on the label for 03 months. It made me feel more relaxed, sleep slightly better. But it seems to affect my penis erection performance and sex-in-mind feelings negatively. I stopped taking them.
I have ADHD most likely and shwadonga made me into an unmotivated piece of shit, no bueno
Redpill me on the DNA damage stuff, I'll trade one of my rare Floyd's for it.
SHE DONT BELIEVE IN JESUS
WHY SHE GOT A JESUS PIECE?
