1. What Ashwagandha Does For Your Body

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen - a plant that helps the body adapt to stress. Modern clinical research shows it can:

  • Support a calmer response to pressure

  • Improve resilience to stress throughout the day

  • Help balance cortisol

  • Support mental wellbeing and emotional clarity

  • Promote deeper rest at night

  • Support physical recovery after training

In other words, it’s not a stimulant. It’s a balancer.

2. When To Take Ashwagandha (Best Times of Day)

Ashwagandha works best when taken consistently, not randomly.

Recommended timings

  • Morning (most popular): Supports calm focus and keeps you level during the workday.

  • Evening: Helpful for unwinding and sleep support.

  • Split dose: Half in the morning, half in the evening for all-day balance.

Most users feel the smoothest effects with a morning dose, especially if they stack it properly.

3. How To Safely Stack Ashwagandha

The good news: Ashwagandha is one of the easiest supplements to stack.

General stacking principles

  • Keep your routine simple

  • Avoid pairing with stimulants at the same time

  • Stay consistent daily

  • Use high-extract forms (like your Revora 20:1 extract)

  • Listen to your energy levels

4. Supplements That Pair Well With Ashwagandha

Here’s how Ashwagandha stacks with your current Revora products:

Ashwagandha + D3/K2 (Revora)

Why it works:
Vitamin D plays a key role in mood, hormone balance and immunity. Combined with Ashwagandha, users often report greater emotional steadiness and clearer focus.

Best timing:

Ashwagandha + Biotin, Copper & Zinc (Revora)

Why it works:
This combination supports metabolism, cognitive function and overall wellbeing - making it a great daily wellness stack.

Best timing:

  • Both taken with food, ideally at breakfast or lunch

Ashwagandha + Magnesium (optional)

Many people use magnesium glycinate alongside Ashwagandha for deeper relaxation. It’s optional but a strong pairing for evening calm.

5. What Not To Combine

Ashwagandha is safe for most people, but there are a few things to avoid:

  • Excess caffeine: It can reduce Ashwagandha’s calming effect.

  • Multiple adaptogens: Don’t pair with strong adaptogens like Rhodiola unless guided by a professional.

  • Sleep medications: Speak to your GP before combining.

6. Ashwagandha for Sleep vs Focus

Ashwagandha is unique because it works in both directions:

For daytime focus:

  • Take in the morning
  • Stack with D3/K2

  • Keep caffeine light

For sleep support:

  • Take in the evening
  • Pair with magnesium

  • Keep screens/blue light low

  • Use as part of a relaxing routine

7. How Long It Takes To Work

Most users feel some responsiveness in 7–10 days.

Full calm, stress and wellbeing support is usually most noticeable by week 3–4 of consistent use.

8. Choose High-Extract, High-Purity Formulas

Low-dose, low-quality Ashwagandha won’t deliver the same effects.

Your Revora formula gives you:

  • 20:1 extract - equivalent to 8000mg root

  • 5% withanolides (the active compounds)

  • Clean, clinical-grade formulation

  • UK-produced, GMP-standard quality

This is exactly what modern research recommends.

9. Final Thoughts

Ashwagandha is one of the most effective natural tools for supporting mental wellbeing and calm focus in a hectic world.

When you take it at the right time and stack it properly, it becomes a reliable part of your daily rhythm.

Use it consistently, keep your stack simple, and allow a few weeks for the full benefits to unfold.
