Ashwagandha is the sixth ingredient in the Stallion Power blend. The label gives no amount, but it cannot weigh more than the printed 5 mg of caffeine. Typical product doses are 150 to 600 mg once to three times a day. Rare liver injury and thyroid effects have been reported.

The ingredient01
Ashwagandha on the Stallion Power label
Ashwagandha is the sixth of nine lines. It is the first one listed after the printed caffeine weight.
The label reads “Ashwagandha” and gives no separate amount. It does not say whether the root or an extract was used. Only caffeine has its own printed weight, at 5 mg (Stallion Power sales page). Because ashwagandha follows caffeine, it cannot weigh more than caffeine does.
| Name on the label | Ashwagandha |
|---|---|
| What it is | Withania somnifera |
| Place on the label | 6 of 9 in the 82 mg proprietary blend |
| Amount per gummy | Not listed; line 6 of 9 in the 82 mg blend: at most 13.7 mg by the plain rule, and at most 5 mg when the printed 5 mg of caffeine is used |
| Amount used in research | 150-600 mg, once to three times a day, as typical product doses (NIH LiverTox) |
| Strength of evidence | Limited human data; the NIH and MSK pages do not say it improves erections |
| Marketed or traditional use | Ayurvedic root used for stress and vigor |
| Main caution | Rare liver injury and thyroid effects reported; avoid with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer; may add to sedatives, diabetes and blood pressure medicines. |
No study we found tested the finished gummy. What follows is about ashwagandha on its own.
The label arithmetic02
How much ashwagandha can one gummy hold?
US rules list the ingredients of a proprietary blend from most to least by weight (21 CFR 101.36, Supplement Facts). Divide 82 mg by six and the plain ceiling for place six is 13.67 mg. The label prints caffeine at 5 mg in place five, and every later line must weigh no more than that. So the tighter ceiling is 5 mg.
Line 7, L-arginine, can hold at most 5 mg of the 82 mg once caffeine's printed 5 mg is used (11.71 mg by the plain rule).
Red: the tighter ceiling. Brass: the extra room the plain rule would allow. Dark: the rest of the 82 mg. The label gives the 82 mg total, the order and caffeine's 5 mg (21 CFR 101.36, Supplement Facts); a line cannot weigh more than the lines listed before it. It is arithmetic on the label, not a lab result.
These are ceilings, not contents. The sums assume the label follows the descending-order rule. They are arithmetic on a printed label, not a lab result, and a real gummy can hold less.
Against the research03
Product doses against the ceiling
NIH LiverTox gives typical product doses of 150 to 600 mg, taken once to three times a day (NIH LiverTox, Ashwagandha). A gummy holds at most 5 mg. At that ceiling, a single 150 mg dose would take 30 gummies, and 600 mg would take 120.
| Item | Ashwagandha | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Low typical product dose | 150 mg, once to three times a day | NIH LiverTox (NIH LiverTox, Ashwagandha) |
| High typical product dose | 600 mg, once to three times a day | NIH LiverTox (NIH LiverTox, Ashwagandha) |
| Stallion Power, plain ceiling | At most 13.67 mg per gummy | Arithmetic on the label (21 CFR 101.36, Supplement Facts) |
| Stallion Power, tighter ceiling | At most 5 mg per gummy | Uses the printed 5 mg of caffeine (21 CFR 101.36, Supplement Facts) |
The gummy sits far below product doses, which cuts two ways. Benefits seen at product doses are unlikely to carry over. So are the liver cases, though LiverTox does not describe liver risk at the tiny amounts in a blend (NIH LiverTox, Ashwagandha).
Strength of the evidence04
How strong is the evidence?
Limited, and aimed at other goals. Memorial Sloan Kettering says human data are limited and that studies suggest possible benefit for stress and anxiety (MSK, Ashwagandha). NCCIH says some preparations may help with insomnia and stress, while evidence on anxiety is unclear (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). Neither page says ashwagandha improves erections.
What the record offers
- Some evidence for sleep and stress outcomes.
- Limited signals on testosterone and sperm quality (NCCIH, Ashwagandha).
What the record lacks
- Support for erections or desire.
- Long-term safety data.
- Any trial of the finished gummy.
The bottle claims “SUPPORT CONFIDENCE†”, which names no ingredient. The claims versus evidence page weighs it.

Liver, thyroid and medicine cautions
This is the ingredient with the longest caution list. Liver injury has been linked to ashwagandha supplements, most cases mild to moderate and self-limited, with rare fatal cases mainly in people with existing liver disease (NIH LiverTox, Ashwagandha). Common effects are drowsiness, upper stomach discomfort and loose stools (MSK, Ashwagandha).
NCCIH does not recommend ashwagandha for people with thyroid or autoimmune disorders, before surgery, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It says men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer should avoid it (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). Pregnant women should avoid it because of miscarriage risk at higher doses (MSK, Ashwagandha).
- Stop and call your doctor if you notice yellow skin or eyes, or itching.
- Keep taking prescribed medicine as directed.
- Seek emergency care for chest pain, fainting, or an erection lasting over four hours (MedlinePlus, Sildenafil).
- A 5 mg ceiling is small, but the label gives no actual amount.

The plain verdict06
What this means if you are deciding to buy
Ashwagandha is a real herb with real research, none of it about erections, and the gummy holds a sliver of the usual dose. Its cautions still matter, because they concern the liver, the thyroid and several medicines. If any of those apply, ask your doctor before you order.
If you try the product, follow the label: one gummy once daily, or as directed by a qualified health care professional. The sales page offers a “60-Day Money-Back Guarantee”; the guarantee page lists its terms. Packs are $49 to $79 a bottle on the pricing page.

FAQ07
Stallion Power questions people ask
What is ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha, Withania somnifera, is a root used in Ayurvedic medicine for stress and vigor. The label lists it as line 6 of 9 with no separate amount. Memorial Sloan Kettering says human data are limited and that studies for stress and anxiety suggest possible benefit (MSK, Ashwagandha).
Does ashwagandha affect testosterone or libido?
The evidence is thin. NCCIH says limited evidence suggests 2 to 4 months of use may change testosterone levels and improve sperm quality (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). Neither NCCIH nor Memorial Sloan Kettering says it improves erections or sexual function (MSK, Ashwagandha) (NCCIH, Ashwagandha).
Can ashwagandha harm the liver?
Rarely, yes. NIH LiverTox rates it a likely cause of clinically apparent liver injury, usually starting 2 to 12 weeks after the start, with recovery in 1 to 4 months after stopping (NIH LiverTox, Ashwagandha). Stop and call your doctor if you notice jaundice or itching.
Can ashwagandha change thyroid test results?
It can affect the thyroid. Memorial Sloan Kettering reports thyrotoxicosis linked to supplement use, and says it may increase thyroxine levels (MSK, Ashwagandha). NCCIH does not recommend it for people with thyroid disorders (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). Tell your doctor before any thyroid test.
Should I take ashwagandha for months at a time?
Be careful. NCCIH says it may be safe for short periods, up to three months, and that long-term safety is not established (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). The label sets no limit on how long to take the gummy, so ask a qualified health care professional about duration.
Is ashwagandha safe with sedatives or immune drugs?
Ask first. NCCIH says it may interact with sedatives, immunosuppressants, and diabetes and blood pressure medicines (NCCIH, Ashwagandha). Memorial Sloan Kettering warns of added sedation with benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants and barbiturates (MSK, Ashwagandha). Keep taking your prescribed medicine.
