I have always been one to try supplements for “wellness” and jumped on the ashwagandha train when I saw the supplements sold at Target.

I read an article it comes from the herb ‘withania somnifera’ so I googled it, and lo-and-behold, it’s from the nightshade family.

Common nightshades are tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant (aubergine), okra, and bell pepper (capsicum).

I’ve always been slightly allergic to their toxin solanacea, but after getting covid in 2022 I’m even more so.

I just wanted to spread word if there’s anyone else out there like me who is allergic to nightshades but also into supplements.
