The Claim
Ashwagandha root extract (ARE) at a dosage of 600 mg/day for 8 weeks is associated with no serious adverse events in adults with mild-to-moderate stress and anxiety, based on a large randomized placebo-controlled trial (n=1002) that reported zero serious adverse events in either the ARE or placebo group.
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.
In a large study, adults with mild-to-moderate stress and anxiety took 600 mg of ashwagandha root extract daily for 8 weeks. No serious side effects were reported in either the ashwagandha group or the placebo group.

Ashwagandha root extract (ARE) at 600 mg/day for 8 weeks is associated with no serious adverse events in adults with mild-to-moderate stress and anxiety, based on a large randomized placebo-controlled trial (n=1002) that reported zero serious adverse events in either the ARE or placebo group.
The body's systems process ashwagandha root extract without activating any harmful reactions, so no serious adverse events occur.
What the research says
1 studyIn a big study of over 1000 people, those who took ashwagandha for 8 weeks had no serious side effects, just like the claim says.
