The Claim
Ashwagandha root extract (ARE) at a dose of 300 mg twice daily for 8 weeks is well tolerated in healthy men aged 30–50 years, with no reported adverse events and no significant changes in hepatic or renal function tests compared to placebo.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
A study found that healthy men aged 30-50 who took 300 mg of ashwagandha root extract twice daily for 8 weeks did not report any side effects and their liver and kidney function tests remained normal compared to a placebo group. The supplement was well tolerated.

The compounds in Ashwagandha root extract are broken down and cleared by the liver and kidneys without causing any damage or stress to these organs. The liver processes the extract using special enzymes that turn it into harmless substances, which are then safely removed from the body through urine. This process does not produce any toxins or cause inflammation, so the liver and kidneys continue to work normally.
What the research says
1 studyA study of 100 men taking Ashwagandha twice daily for two months found no side effects and no damage to their liver or kidneys, confirming that it is safe.
