In traditional Ayurvedic practices, Ashwagandha has been given to children in specific doses to support their health and well-being. Although Ashwagandha is highly researched, most scientific studies conducted have been done on adults. This means there's limited clinical evidence on its effects on children.

For this reason, we recommend caution and avoiding giving Ashwagandha to children of any age. However, with no definite guidelines in place and a history of use dating back millennia, we understand some parents will do their own research and be happy to proceed, especially those with teenagers.

That said, if you're considering giving Ashwagandha to your child, it's essential to:

1. Consult a Paediatrician: Always discuss with a paediatrician or a healthcare professional familiar with dietary supplements. They can provide guidance tailored to your child's unique needs.

2. Start with Low Doses: If you decide to proceed, it's a good idea to begin with a smaller dose than recommended for adults and monitor for any adverse reactions. Our capsules can be split, and the contents added to food.

3. Source Quality: Ensure you're sourcing a high-quality Ashwagandha like the one we offer. Remember, not all supplements are created equal.

While Ashwagandha is generally well-tolerated, some individuals, including children, might experience side effects such as stomach upset, diarrhoea, or drowsiness. If you notice any unusual symptoms in your child after giving them Ashwagandha, stop its use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.

To ensure the safety and well-being of your child, always prioritise professional advice when introducing any supplement into their routine. While Ashwagandha has a rich history in traditional medicine, it's essential to approach its use for children with caution and informed knowledge.
