Effective dose

Taken as the label directs (1 serving a day, 1 g each), it gives 1 g a day; studies use 500–600 mg/day. The most the directions give is above the range studies use.

One capsule gives 500 mg, enough on its own for the low end of what studies use (500 mg); it ranks 11th of 13 KSM-66 ashwagandha supplements here by dose.

1 capsule a day reaches 500 mg.
