Can You Take Ashwagandha and Iron Together?

See the full Ashwagandha page and Iron page for other reviewed interactions and reference information.
What the interaction means
NCCIH's ashwagandha fact sheet names six medication classes it may interact with (diabetes medicines, high blood pressure medicines, immunosuppressants, sedatives, anticonvulsants, and thyroid hormone medications) -- iron is not among them, and NIH ODS's iron fact sheet does not mention ashwagandha.
No documented interaction between Ashwagandha and Iron was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.
Practical context
Ashwagandha's NCCIH fact sheet and iron's NIH ODS fact sheet were checked directly, full text, in both directions. NCCIH's list of six interacting medication classes for ashwagandha does not include iron or minerals generally.
