Good supplement made a difference in my mood feel more relaxed less stressed, specially with my work

I had high expectations of this product based on reviews but i have felt no different. Still tired and had hoped for a little more energy. Back to the drawing board

I am always keen to try supplements for ailments before resorting to prescribed medication,I have been quite stressed lately and my sleep has suffered. I was researching Ayurveda remedies and Ashwagandha is used/advised for several conditions --insomnia-stress-depression-pain relief - to name a few.I found the capsules easy to swallow and did not leave any nasty aftertaste.More than anything they work - I noticed I was calmer and my sleep gradually improved.I am pleased that these are also --suitable for vegans and vegetarians-gluten free-lactose free-made in the UKgreat value at around £10 for 3 months wortheasily recommended

My sleep is far from perfect, I’m restless and have great trouble dropping off, and when I finally do the sleep is usually shallow. I’ve tried prescribed and herbal treatments over several years with varying success, as well as a range of techniques such as meditation and mindfulness which unfortunately often come across as if promoted by a snake oil salesman to me, and sometimes appear rooted in religion. However, when things do work positively they seems to loose the effect after so long, so after another particularly disruptive spell I discovered Ashwagandha, and took up the offer of reviewing under the Amazon Vine programme. Ashwagandha is a herb backed up by a range of claims including stress relief, aiding sleep, increasing energy and improving concentration. As someone who cycles both to keep fit and in an attempt to tire myself out the increase in energy is welcome if it allows me to ride harder, further and/or faster. One of the effects is apparently to promote muscle mass, which is a valued benefit for me having gone through an enforced period of being largely sedentary for a couple of months.Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub from the same family as the tomato and the powder contained in these capsules made by Supplements Wise™ state they are ‘High Strength’ on the container. The product information reveals that they are free from gluten, wheat, and lactose and are suitable for vegetarians and vegans: great to know given these are common food allergies and with an increasing number of the population subscribing to meat-free diets. The capsules are manufactured in the UK, and each of the 90 capsules provided contain 'Ancient' Ashwagandha to 1300mg strength. The back of the container states that bulking agents have been used, listed as brown rice flour, anti-caking agent, magnesium stearate, with the capsule made of vegetable cellulose – nothing to worry about here. The instructions state to take 1-2 capsules daily; and I found benefit in the evening. This means each container is a 45 or 90 day supply depending on dosage taken.Whilst I’m taking these capsules to address sleep issues there are plenty more benefits to be had, with over 200 scientific studies showing a wide range of potential gains:• Reduces the effects of stress• Improves memory, reaction time, and learning• Reduces anxiety and depression (without drowsiness)• Stabilizes blood sugar• Lowers cholesterol• Immune system protection• Improves sleep and falling asleep faster• Reduces brain cell degeneration• Contains anti-malarial properties• Anti-inflammatory benefitsThat’s a pretty impressive list of benefits. However these capsules don’t appear to be manufactured to the ‘gold standard’ for Ashwagandha, KSM-66, nor are they certified to ISO 9001 Quality Management certification. The container is also silent on whether the powder is sourced exclusively from the roots of the shrub which is the most potent, or if leaves are used which is less effective, less potent.The powder within is a homogenous beige colour, and taking the capsules there is no overt taste, after-taste or smell. Each is around 1.5cm long. So have I noticed any benefits? My partner says I’m still restless, but that this is reduced and seems to be getting less the longer I get into the programme. I’m definitely getting to sleep quicker rather than seeing every hour of the clock on the very worst nights. I’ve noticed no side effects such as stomach issues, and I’m waking up around an hour later and feeling as though I’ve had a deeper sleep and thus feel more refreshed. Whilst this can only be anecdotal there are benefits; and at £9.95 for 90 at 11p per capsule they offer fair value for money, although they don’t appear to be the purest version of this product available.

Ashwaghanda is a brilliant adaptogen supplement. I've taken it when my nervous system has been overwhelmed or overloaded or I've been going through major changes (a messy spiritual awakening). So I've tried a few different potions and capsules and powders.This is good quality, reasonably priced and has an acceptable taste. Some I've tried have been super foul. There is a plentiful supply and this is one of those supplements where you DEFINITELY notice the difference! It also increases libido, metabolism, etc. But I'm not here to talk about that.All in all this a product I would recommend to family friends and anyone who is experiencing high and chronic stress who needs supplementation to help for the short term. I'd also recommend tulsi tea/ holy basil as that in combination with this really eases and soothes the nervous system.

These arrived in perfect condition with an intact seal.A friend of mine who has a vast knowledge of how to stay healthy recommended this to me. I struggle with my mental health and this can help as it can help to aid relaxation and sleep which in turn helps you to cope better with life's challenges.This does not offer an instant improvement, patience is required.I've been taking this for a couple of weeks and while I'm not skipping down the street full of the joys of spring, I'm not feeling any worse and so, for me, this is acceptable.I suffer from a back problem which means my sleep is interrupted multiple times each night and just recently my pain and so my sleep pattern has been much worse but I seem to be coping better with it. This could be coincidence or it could be these helping me.I'm definitely going to stick with these however should any issues arise or if I feel I'm not getting any benefit by taking these I will return and amend this review accordingly.
