Usage Cycles and Rest Periods

Ashwagandha KSM-66® works by regulating cortisol, modulating the stress response, and supporting hormonal balance. While its continuous use is safe for many, cycling intake ensures optimal effectiveness.

Why is a rest period necessary?

✔ Prevents tolerance – Ensures continued effectiveness without diminishing results.
✔ Maintains natural hormone regulation – Allows the body to sustain its own cortisol production.
✔ Prevents buildup of side effects – Reduces risks of drowsiness or low blood pressure.
✔ Allows evaluation of long-term benefits – A break helps assess how well the effects last.

How long should the rest period be?

✔ Minimum: 1 week after a 6-week cycle.
✔ Optimal: 2 weeks of rest after 8 weeks of continuous use.
✔ Alternative Approach: Use only on days when needed (e.g., 5 days ON – 2 days OFF).
