Kurtis Frank: Adaptogens

Kurtis Frank is the Director of Research and Development for Legion Athletics who focuses on research behind herbal and traditional medicines but from a western perspective as well as nootropic and performance enhancing compounds.

In this podcast, Kurtis and I discuss Adaptogens focusing mainly on Ashwangha.

Some of the things we discuss are:

Question 1 (06:08): What are adaptogens?

Question 2 (10:35): One adaptogen that seem to be gaining popularity in recent time is Ashwagandgha. What is Ashwagandha?

Question 3 (11:20): How was Aswagandha discovered and what is it traditionally used for?

Question 4 (12:30): Is there a difference between ingesting Ashwandha in powder form compared to capsules?

Question 5 (15:45): What are the claimed benefits of using Ashwagandha?

Question 6 (21:40): What dosage seems to be effective and are there any potential side effects?

Question 7 (28:45): How long does it take to start noticing an effect?

Question 8 (29:45): What is the take home message?

Great video. Wish Kurtis talked a little more about Rhodiola and any other Adaptogens he considered particularly interesting.

Great episode, Juma and Kurtis! KSM 66 is one of my all time favorite supplements. In fact, this episode inspired me to make a video sharing my personal experiences with it.

Ksm66 makes me feel calm and reduce my stress levels very good. But its not good for my sleep beacause it makes my dreams very vivid.
