Our product gives you a high dose (600mg across 2 x capsules per day) of very good quality organic Ashwagandha. It can be quite powerful stuff!  

So, if you have never used Ashwagandha before, we always recommend starting on half a dose (1 x capsule) each day for 7-10 days. This will give your body time to gradually get used to it's adaptogenic qualities. 

After that you can then increase to the full dose of 2 x capsules per day. 

Please note that some people are quite sensitive to Ashwagandha. If you notice any new symptoms when you increase the dose, then simply drop back down to half a dose (1 x capsule) per day. The great news is that your pot will last twice as long! 

One of the best things about Ashwagandha is the many different ways in which it can support different people.

When you first start, we usually suggest taking your Ashwagandha at different times of day (each for a week or so consistently), to work out exactly which is the most beneficial for you and your own individual biological make-up. It will also depend on exactly why you are taking it. 

As a general rule, you can follow the guidelines below, depending on the main cause for needing Ashwagandha: 

• Stress, anxiety, cognition - most affected during the day - take both capsules in the morning (please note that if you also struggle with fatigue, the next option may be better for you, but this is very individual) 
• Stress, anxiety, cognition - generalised - take one capsules in the morning and one in the evening 
  
• Sleep issues - take both capsules roughly 30-60 minutes before bedtime.

Ashwagandha is adaptogenic in it's very nature. This is why it can bring such brilliant results. However, it does mean that there are a couple of things to look out for. So, you should check with your GP or medical professional prior to taking it if you also take medication for thyroid or blood sugar related conditions.

We are pleased to say that you can use our wonderful D-Mannose with Cranberry Extract product in both of these circumstances! 

Our standard dose is designed primarily to aid in preventing nasty recurring UTIs, cystitis and bladder infections. This dose is 1000mg which you will achieve by taking 2 x of our 500mg capsules per day. 

This is an optimal dose for prevention, but may be less effective if you already have an infection (particularly a stubborn one) when you start taking it. This would require what we call an 'urgent' dose. 

For an urgent dose, if you suspect you may have an infection, you can take an increased amount of D-Mannose. We recommend doubling the 'prevention dose'. So you can take 2 x capsules (giving you 1000mg total), twice per day instead of once per day (once in the morning and once in the evening). Or you may prefer to space the 4 x capsules out throughout the day. You can do this for a few days until the infection clears. 

Please see you GP or medical professional if you have no improvement in symptoms after two days. 

** The science shows D-Mannose is very effective against UTIs and infections caused by E.Coli. However, further research is needed to fully confirm it's efficacy when it comes to the other bacterial causes of these infections. The good news is that more than 90% of all UTIs, cystitis and bladder infections are caused by E.Coli, giving you a great chance of having a really good result. And, as D-Mannose is completely natural, it can be used on an on-going basis, and be a real game-changer for you! **

D-Mannose is a natural simple sugar that is not readily absorbed into your blood stream. That is just why and how it is able to work it's magic and help with UTIs and bladder health. 

As such, potential interactions are minimal. However, you should check with your GP or medical professional if you use regular medication for a blood sugar related condition, or regularly take a blood thinning medication such as Warfarin (or similar).
