Ashwagandha in Stallion Power: 5 mg or Less Against 240 to 1,250 mg in Trials
Ashwagandha is an Ayurvedic root, and Stallion Power lists it sixth in its 82 mg blend, after the 5 mg of caffeine. That puts one gummy at 5 mg or less, while trials of ashwagandha extract used 240 to 1,250 mg a day. Its better evidence is for stress and sleep, not male sexual function, and it carries liver, thyroid and pregnancy cautions.

The root01
What is ashwagandha, and why is it in Stallion Power?
Ashwagandha is a shrub whose root has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Stallion Power lists it sixth of nine, because it is sold for stress, energy and vitality.
The gummy's amount is far smaller. Sixth place comes after the 5 mg of caffeine, and a blend must list its parts from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 (proprietary blends)). So ashwagandha cannot weigh more than 5 mg per gummy.
| Name on the label | Ashwagandha |
|---|---|
| What it is | Withania somnifera, a root used in Ayurvedic medicine |
| Where it appears | Place 6 of 9 in the 82 mg proprietary blend |
| Amount per gummy | Not listed; place 6 of 9, 5 mg or less |
| Amount used in research | 240-1,250 mg a day in stress trials |
| Strength of evidence | Some stress and sleep evidence; thin for male sexual function |
| Marketed or traditional use | Ayurvedic root sold for stress and vitality. One gummy holds 5 mg or less. |
| Main caution | Rare liver injury, thyroid and pregnancy cautions. |
Dose02
How much ashwagandha is in one Stallion Power gummy, and what did trials use?
One gummy holds 5 mg of ashwagandha or less. Trials used 240 to 1,250 mg of extract a day (NIH ODS, Ashwagandha).
The label does not print the amount. The ceiling comes from our arithmetic of the label order, not a lab test. Even at 5 mg, the top of the range, a gummy holds about 2% of the lowest trial dose.
See L-arginine and tribulus for two more low-dose lines.
The evidence03
Does ashwagandha work for men?
The evidence is better for stress and sleep than for male sexual function, where it is thin. NCCIH says ashwagandha may help with stress and sleep (NCCIH, Ashwagandha).
That is a finding about trial doses of 240 mg or more, not about a 5 mg share in a gummy. NIH lists the same dose range (NIH ODS, Ashwagandha).
For sexual health in men, we found no trial that supports a claim. We do not say ashwagandha raises testosterone or helps erections.
The sales page says the product can "Increase vitality and energy to tackle daily challenges". No study of the gummy backs that (Stallion Power sales page).
Ashwagandha has real research, but not for this use and not at this dose.
Cautions04
Can ashwagandha harm the liver or thyroid?
Rarely, yes. LiverTox rates ashwagandha a likely cause of rare liver injury, with onset in 2 to 12 weeks (LiverTox, Ashwagandha). NCCIH also advises avoiding it with thyroid or liver problems (NCCIH, Ashwagandha).
A gummy at 5 mg or less is far below full supplement doses, but low is not zero, and we cannot rule out a personal reaction.
Stop and call a doctor if you notice yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, strong tiredness or pain in the upper right belly. The label says to stop and consult a doctor for any reaction, and you can report it to FDA (FDA, How to Report a Problem with Dietary Supplements).
Thyroid disease and thyroid medicine matter too, since the root may change thyroid hormone levels (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). Tell your doctor if you take thyroid medicine.
Who should ask first05
Who should avoid ashwagandha or ask a doctor first?
Ask a doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, have thyroid or liver disease, or take medicines. The label asks the same of anyone pregnant, nursing, on medications or with a medical condition.
| If this applies | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Pregnant or planning pregnancy | Avoid; NCCIH advises against use |
| Nursing | The label asks you to consult a doctor first |
| Thyroid disease or thyroid medicine | The root may alter thyroid hormone levels |
| Liver disease | Rare liver injury has been linked to ashwagandha |
| Any prescription medicine | Ask your pharmacist whether it fits (FDA, Mixing medications and supplements) |
Never cut or skip a prescribed dose because of a supplement. Tell your care team what you take (FDA, Mixing medications and supplements).

Does Stallion Power fit with your health and medicines?
Five questions sort out who should ask a doctor before starting. Ashwagandha is only one reason to ask.
Our view07
Should ashwagandha influence your choice of Stallion Power?
It should not weigh much. At 5 mg or less, ashwagandha is a label name more than a working dose.
If stress or sleep is the problem, ask a doctor. Ashwagandha trials used 240 mg or more, and the cautions above apply to those users too. Persistent erection trouble can point to heart or blood-sugar causes and deserves a visit (Mayo Clinic, Erectile dysfunction).
FAQ09
Ashwagandha questions
How much ashwagandha is in Stallion Power?
The label does not print it. Ashwagandha is sixth in the blend, after 5 mg of caffeine, so by our arithmetic it is 5 mg or less per gummy (21 CFR 101.36 (proprietary blends)). That is a ceiling, not a lab result.
What dose of ashwagandha did the studies use?
NIH reports trials with 240 to 1,250 mg of ashwagandha extract a day (NIH ODS, Ashwagandha). A Stallion Power gummy holds 5 mg or less, which is a small fraction of the lowest trial dose.
Does ashwagandha increase testosterone or help erections?
We found no trial that supports either claim, and we make none. The better evidence is for stress and sleep (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). Low testosterone is diagnosed by blood tests, not supplements (AUA, Testosterone deficiency guideline).
Is ashwagandha bad for the liver?
Rarely. LiverTox rates it a likely cause of rare liver injury, starting 2 to 12 weeks after use begins (LiverTox, Ashwagandha). Stop and call a doctor if you notice yellow skin or eyes or dark urine.
Can I take Stallion Power with thyroid medicine?
Ask your doctor first. Ashwagandha may alter thyroid hormone levels, and NCCIH advises caution with thyroid disease (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). Keep taking your thyroid medicine as prescribed.
Is ashwagandha safe during pregnancy?
NCCIH advises avoiding it in pregnancy (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). The Stallion Power label also asks anyone pregnant or nursing to consult a doctor before using the gummy.
Why is ashwagandha sixth on the Stallion Power label?
A proprietary blend lists ingredients from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36 (proprietary blends)). Ashwagandha follows the 5 mg of caffeine, so it weighs 5 mg or less. Order shows weight, not effect.
