Popular supplement banned in more countries. Still legal in Poland

Ashwagandha, an ancient adaptogen, faces bans in several European countries due to health concerns, while remaining legal in Poland with restrictions. Denmark and the Netherlands have prohibited its sale, citing potential hormonal disruptions and risks to pregnancy. France advises against its use for pregnant and breastfeeding women and minors. Sweden and Finland are evaluating its health impacts, which may lead to similar bans. In Poland, only the root is permitted in supplements, with strict limits on active compounds and labeling requirements for safety warnings.
