I take 2 a day. One first thing in the morning and one at bedtime. It quiets my brain activity down so I get a restful night's sleep. During the day, it helps keep me more focused on what I need to do.

i've been taking ashwaganda for the past 2 years and it works!..it really calms me down, especially when taken at night.

I used to buy this brand of ashwagandha what seems like forever ago, and recently was able to purchase some more. I wasn't disappointed at all!<br /><br />The cost for the quantity is really good, and I feel like they have less of an herbal vitamin taste than I remember. So that's a plus.<br /><br />I've been dealing with anxiety (mostly what I call ambient anxiety [which is generalized anxiety] but I'll also have spikes here and there that can lead to panic attacks or dissociating if I'm not careful.<br /><br />I don't yet know ~all~ of what to do to manage it, but I can tell you that ashwagandha (in general, though this is the brand I've purchased time and time again due to how reliable and good quality it is) has been an absolute life-saver.<br /><br />I've just come out of a very stressful situation and was having THE hardest time calming myself back down to where I could move through the minutiae of daily life with relative fluidity. My body was tense, I was unconsciously holding my breath, my thoughts refused to settle, sleep was hard to come by, and the littlest things could startle me.<br /><br />But I started taking this again, started with 2 capsules a day, and within a couple weeks I feel sooooo much more capable of being alive. A lot of things are still really overwhelming, and I'm not like radically transforming my life or anything, but when it comes to being able to wake up and not go right back to sleep because whatever I might face is too terrifying? That's happening a lot less.<br /><br />When someone speaks to me out of nowhere, I'm not jumping inside my skin. When I shower, I don't immediately break down because it's the most private time and therefore, I can let it out. I'm actually singing in there and enjoying the ~refresh~. And my appetite is actually returning!<br /><br />It's no miracle pill, but it sure does turn the volume down on stress and anxiety to where I have a much better chance of just ~having a day~ rather than it being such an ordeal.

Been taking this for about six weeks. Energy is more consistent and I feel less sluggish in the afternoons. Happy with the purchase.

Third-party tested, clean label. That's what I look for first. Actually works too, which is a bonus.

Works well. Deducting a star because the bottle is hard to open with one hand, but the product itself is solid.
