Hello,
There's an article on Ashwagandha at: Article A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover St...
It's a crossover study, switching between ashwaganda and placebo. It seems that for the first period (8 weeks), testosterone levels decreased for ashwaganda group from baseline 354.22pmol/L to 332.77pmol/L. It's not explicitly mentioned in the study, but I would appreciate if anyone could verify if that is true? I'm not sure I'm reading the cross-over study correctly. It also seems unusual given the research indicating it increases testosterone.
Thank you,
Joe.
Dear Joe,
The main aim of the study was to determine the differences between placebo and Ashwagandha groups in different periods, not comparing the results of different times (cross over). So. I think it should not name a cross-over, becuase the author did not compare the results of the periods with time 0 or baseline values.
