Why we tell customers to stop taking our bestseller
Written by Rootline Botanicals about its own work. Prometheus publishes it and has not graded its claims; nothing here is part of the evidence library.
Rootline Botanicals is a demonstration business the app ships with. Its brand and its figures are invented.
Ashwagandha's cortisol effect fades with continuous use — and the emotional-flattening reports cluster after month three. Our cycling protocol.
The RCTs behind ashwagandha run 8–12 weeks. Almost nothing is known past that horizon, and the user reports that worry us — emotional blunting, morning grogginess — cluster in continuous use beyond it.
So our label says what few do: run 8–10 weeks, then take 4 off. If the off-weeks feel fine, you didn't need it anymore. If the stress load returns, resume with your prescriber's blessing.
A supplement company telling you to buy less is strange until you price a customer's trust across a decade. The month-3 check-in your Endocrine agent runs? That gate is this protocol.
Topics: ashwagandha, stress, protocol — in the library
