Ashwagandha supplementation increases testosterone levels in men.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Ashwagandha supplementation increases testosterone levels in men?

Unclear. Three placed sources report ashwagandha supplementation associated with increased testosterone, but each covers only a narrow group: oligospermic males in a cited meta-analysis, physically active men in a review, and young resistance-training men in a single 8-week trial. No placed source establishes the general claim for men overall.
