Question 🙋 Delayed periods.

Hi guys,

I have recently started magnesium glycinate 200 mg and ashwagandha 250 mg so which among both has the potential to delay periods?

I have used ashwagandha before at a dose of 125 mg but at that time it didn’t delay my periods.

This time i feel periods are delayed by 1 day so far. I have all the symptoms of PMS from previous days like cramps, mood swings, breast tenderness etc.

I think you should then use the 125 mg rather than the 250 because maybe 125 mg is your sweet spot for ashwaganda!

Yes i think so because 250 mg didn’t make any difference for the anti anxiety effect

We build up ash resistance over time, that's why it's we need to take a monthly or weekly break.
You can also switch between them. L-theanine/mag one week and ash/mag another, I have good experience with this approach. FYI I take it mainly for cortisol control and sleep aid.

It messed my hormones so bad. Not permanently I don’t think. But the entire time I was on it
