Schisandra vs Ashwagandha

Hi, HV

Could you compare Schisandra Berry vs Ashwagandha?

I think I need something for my immune system (and general tonic)and I'd like to choose between these two.

Schisandra is expensive, about $30 or less per pound and Ashwagandha costs about half. I'm inclined to Ashwagandha, but worried because it's a night shade family, which can be inflammatory, if I'm not mistaken.

I ordered nettle leaf and drinking the tea for a while, but I think I can drink only small amount, because it has much iron. I am over forty and my period last only half days what it used to be.

My health concerns include: borderline hypothyroidism, general low energy, various subclinical degree autoimmune issues(carpal tunnel, suspected pre diebetes). I've been managing these symptoms under control with drinking lemon juice, vit Bs and oil pulling in the morning.


As always, thank you very much.

PS. Can I take either of these with cayenne to maximize the beneficial effects?
