		Mean (SD)
Hormone	Group	Baseline (n = 25)	Week 8 (n = 25)	Mean difference (95% CI)^a	p‐value (between group)^*
Testosterone (ng/dl)	Ashwagandha	402.76 (39.68)	474.76 (36.25)	−66.52 (−80.70 to −52.34)	<0.0001
	Placebo	415.64 (42.55)	421.12 (34.09)	−66.52 (−80.70 to −52.34)
Prolactin (ng/ml)	Ashwagandha	8.36 (2.75)	8.03 (3.14)	−1.06 (−2.78 to 0.66)	0.12
	Placebo	8.79 (3.00)	9.52 (3.48)	−1.06 (−2.78 to 0.66)

^*

p‐value was obtained using independent two sample t‐test for mean within the group (two‐tailed, α = 0.05).

^{^a}

Mean difference was obtained subtracting Week 8 and baseline differences in the ashwagandha and placebo groups.
