Core promise

Cycle your Shilajit and Ashwagandha supplements properly so they continue to effectively lower stress and balance your hormones without losing their potency.

  2. Optimal dosage protocol: An 8-week-on, 1-to-2-week-off schedule keeps cortisol regulation and stress relief working at peak effectiveness.

Said

The ideal routine is taking them for about two months (eight weeks), then pausing for a couple of weeks. These supplements impact cortisol, the stress hormone, which is why Ashwagandha reduces anxiety so well.

Exact words

Speaker 1: "So what I tend to do is I tend to do about two months on, eight weeks, and then I'll take a couple of weeks off. Both of those two supplements that I'm talking about have an effect on something called cortisol, which is a hormone. It's a stress hormone that your body releases.
