NOW Foods Magnesium + Ashwagandha
Description
NOW Magnesium + Ashwagandha combines a high dose of elemental magnesium with an ashwagandha extract, for adults who want one formula to support a healthy stress response along with muscle, nerve, and heart health.
Magnesium is a cofactor for hundreds of enzyme reactions in the body, and ashwagandha is a traditional adaptogenic herb, so this pairing is built around everyday stress and relaxation support rather than a single nutrient alone.
Each 2 capsule serving supplies 420 mg of elemental magnesium (100% Daily Value) alongside 450 mg of ashwagandha extract standardized to a minimum of 2.5% total withanolides. The 120 count bottle provides 60 servings.
Take 2 capsules daily, preferably with a meal. NOW manufactures this product in an Intertek GMP certified facility. Anyone who is pregnant or nursing, or who has a thyroid, liver, or gastrointestinal condition, should consult a physician before use, since ashwagandha can interact with thyroid medication.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a plain magnesium supplement?
This formula adds a standardized ashwagandha extract to elemental magnesium, so it is built specifically around stress response and relaxation support rather than magnesium alone.
Should I take it with food?
Yes. NOW's suggested use calls for taking the 2 capsule serving with a meal.
When is the best time of day to take it?
NOW does not specify a particular time of day for this product, so it can be worked into whichever meal fits your routine, taken consistently.
Who should not take this without talking to a doctor first?
Anyone who is pregnant or nursing should not take this product. Anyone taking thyroid medication, or who has a thyroid, liver, or gastrointestinal condition, should consult a physician before use, and should discontinue if gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, rash, or itching occurs.
What does '100% Daily Value' mean for the magnesium here?
It means one serving supplies the full amount of magnesium the FDA has set as a daily reference intake for adults, so you are not relying on other foods or supplements to reach that target.
