Can I take Ashwagandha and Vitamin c together?

Why this happens

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb that works primarily on the body's stress response system (the adrenal glands), while vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant. They do not share the same metabolic pathways in the liver, nor do they interfere with each other's absorption or excretion.

What you should do

You can safely take these two supplements together. It is usually best to take vitamin C with food to avoid stomach upset, and ashwagandha can be taken at any time of day, though many people prefer taking it in the evening. Always follow the dosage instructions on the product labels.
