Fatigue While Working For Extended Hours. On Ashwagandha, Kapikachhu, Brahmi Capsules From Himalays. Safe To Take?

Hi,
I am a 33 year old Male, in good health, vegetarian, working as a Software Engineer. I feel tired and exhausted when I have to work for extended hours of day (12-14 hours of work, 6 hours of sleep). Can I take Aswagandha, kapikachhu and Brahmi capsules from Himalaya to supplement and keep up my general health, alertness and Memory?
What is the recommended dosage? and can these medicines be taken continuously?

Thanks,
GRV

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your description. I suggest you not to worry too much. Feeling tired after working for 12 to 14 hours is very normal and there is nothing to worry about.

The medications you mentioned are good for stress, anxiety and lethargy. But that is not enough. You cannot diagnose yourself and prescribe medicines, even though these are ayurvedic medicines. Anything is poison if taken in excess. Ayurvedic medicines also have side effects if not taken according to qualified physician's advice.

I suggest you should consult an ayurvedic physician if you are inclined towards Ayurveda.

Hope you understand. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.

Yes you can safely take them for extended time too. Two spoons in glass of milk or water is usually recommended.
