High Quality and Effective!
Bought this for my lovable but moody husband, and I can't believe the results! After just a few days of use, he said he's able to concentrate better and he feels more relaxed. I've noticed that he's in a better mood and he's also in the mood for you-know-what more often than before. Great stuff!
Mad nonchalant and calm now, Good price for what it is, improved mood , sleep , and stress management I'd recommend if you could use improvements in this area but I do believe it's a cycle and shouldn't be used continuously
My sister recommended these vitamins & brand. This is my second bottle. Highly recommended Feeling the difference 👍🏽👍🏽
Chill...
I feel more at ease since I been taking them . . I would recommend if you looking for something natural.
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I love it
Good- I always try to get third party tested products. I have only been taking it for a month so not really seeing the results I’m looking for as much but still feel like I’m noticing some small changes. Bad- Second purchase of this supplement and both times the amount in the bottle was short. Bottle should have 60 and both times I got 56 and 59. Also, serving size says 1 capsule with 60 servings however the instruction states to take 1 capsule, twice a day (2 total each day) which would mean there are only 30 servings per bottle. This is misleading when purchasing thinking you are getting 2 months worth when you are only get 1 months worth.

Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub in the nightshade family. Its Latin name is Withania somnifera. It is also called winter cherry or Indian ginseng, but it is not a ginseng. Tomato, potato and eggplant belong to the same plant family.
Ashwagandha is native from southern Europe and Africa across Asia to central China. It favors dry, sunny places and is widely farmed in the drier parts of India. The part used is the root, which is dried.
The dried root is buff to grey-yellow with long wrinkles. It has a horse-like smell and a sweetish, yet bitter, taste. That smell gave the plant its name: in Sanskrit, ashwa means horse and gandha means smell. The shrub also bears small green-yellow flowers and orange-red berries, which are not in our capsule.
Ashwagandha root holds two main groups of natural compounds: withanolides and alkaloids. Withanolides are steroidal lactones, compounds built on a frame of linked carbon rings. A 2009 review counted more than 130 withanolides across the nightshade family. Alkaloids are natural compounds that contain nitrogen.
Each capsule holds 300 mg of KSM-66®, a branded extract, or concentrated form, of ashwagandha root. It is vegan and standardized to more than 5% withanolides. Standardized means the maker measures one chosen compound, called a marker, and adjusts each batch to a set level. The other ingredients are rice flour and hypromellose, made from plant fiber (cellulose), which forms the capsule shell.
An extract is made by soaking the plant in a liquid such as water or alcohol. The liquid can then be dried to a powder for use in capsules. Makers use different extraction and standardizing steps, so ashwagandha extracts are not all alike.
Ashwagandha is a Sanskrit name that joins the words for horse and smell. The root has a long history in Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine from India. Ayurveda itself began in India perhaps 3,000 years ago. The root also has a history in Unani, another traditional system used in India.
Researchers have studied how the body takes in withanolides from different extracts. They have studied the safety of root extracts in healthy adults, and run a 90-day study in rats. They have also reviewed the compounds found in the plant. These are study topics, not claims about our product.

These are published papers about ashwagandha: its safety, how the body handles it, and what the plant contains. Each one opens at PubMed. We list what each paper looked at, not what it proves. Many of the papers looked at lab or animal models, or at extracts that may differ from ours. They are background reading, not claims about our products. Talk with your healthcare provider.
The FDA does not test supplements before they are sold. So we ask independent groups to test ours. Each mark below says what it covers and what it does not.

There is not enough reliable information available to answer this question. Please consult your own healthcare provider to find out whether it is a good option for you and your baby before taking Ashwagandha.
Please use caution when taking it alongside any supplement or medication that can lower blood pressure and/or have sedative effects. Ashwagandha may have additive effects with supplements or medications that act in these ways.

Each capsule has 300 mg of KSM-66 root extract. We suggest 1 capsule twice daily, preferably with a meal. Taking it twice a day splits the daily amount into two parts.
One bottle has 60 capsules. At 1 capsule twice a day, that is 2 capsules a day, so one bottle lasts 30 days.
We cannot advise you on how long to take Ashwagandha since the reasons you are taking it will likely impact how long you continue. It is best to speak with your healthcare provider to determine what would be best for you, personally.
Our Ashwagandha supplements contain no animal products, gluten, soy, or nuts. The other ingredients are rice flour and hypromellose (the capsule).
