On the other hand, high testosterone levels are commonly seen in PCOS. So, consuming an extract that boosts this hormone can negatively affect those women that already have this hormone in excess

• Autoimmune diseases: When you have those disorders, you are attacking your healthy cells by mistake. So, if you boost your immune system by taking the ashwagandha extract, you may increase the usual symptoms exactly because your body has become

  more active

For those who have high blood pressure and take prescribed medications, you may experience an interaction between the extract and the drug or even an unexpected drop in your blood pressure; If you have low blood pressure, the extract could lower even your levels.

• People with diabetes: Animal studies suggest that this extract might lower blood sugar levels, which is suitable for people with this condition. However, if you already take medications designed to lower blood sugar levels, adding the extract could cause blood sugar levels to drop too low unexpectedly. Patients with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar closely when using the extract

However, healthcare providers worry that the extract may increase this effect when combined with drugs used during and after surgery. It is recommended to stop taking the extract at least 2 weeks before scheduled surgery and let your surgeon know about any supplements you take
