What do you consider "high dose?"
Many studies on ashwagandha, for many uses, use 30mg/day withanolides (ex: 600mg/day KSM-66), which is definitely effective, but studies have used as much as 100mg/day withanolides. I've used various extracts, from 1.5-5%, and tend to stay at around 30mg/day, but there's nothing wrong with going higher. I prefer to just take the 30mg/day at night, as sometimes it can be calming (potentially a bit too calming for some people), but this can be countered for many people by taking it with some caffeine or other stimulants. Many studies split the total daily dose into two equal servings, so that's always another option you can go with.
