ORGANIC INDIA Ashwagandha Capsules – Organic Ashwagandha Supplement – Vegan Ashwagandha Root, Gluten-Free, Kosher, Non-GMO, Supports Stress Relief, Energy, and Sleep – 60 Capsules

I am generally a medication/supplement skeptic but I SWEAR by this.
I have experienced progressively worsening anxiety and depression throughout much of my adult life. When I first got the anxiety diagnosis, I was surprised; however, as the years have passed and I get consumed with crippling worries over the silliest, most paranoid concerns, it’s become undeniable. I am also not a fan of psychiatric medications. To each their own! Mental illness is absolutely real illness and needs to be treated, I personally just prefer CBT and other methods.That being said, the anxiety was creating a terrible feedback loop with insomnia and depression, and for a while I felt pretty lost in my worries. A colleague told me his wife, who is a licensed psychiatrist, recommends ashwagandha to many of her anxiety patients, particularly for sleeping issues. I immediately went to the store and bought powdered ashwagandha. While it did work, and knocked me out COLD for a deep nights’ sleep when mixed into some warm milk with turmeric (plus pie spices and honey for flavour), it is bitter and takes time to prepare the hot drink. I eventually made my way to my local natural foods store where I found this brand on sale. The pills are MUCH easier to take than the powdered form, and have the same effect.I have gone through several bottles of various brands of ashwagandha capsules and can honestly say this is by far the best for me. Whatever Kroger’s house brand is is WAY too bitter tasting, and other brands I’ve tried did not have the same concentration. I ultimately decided Organic India is worth the slightly higher price tag, and I can often find coupons for it at my local natural foods store. However with quarantine, I had to order online this last time, as the store I frequent does not deliver. These are still worth the additional expense for sure. They have no taste and very noticeable positive effects. Furthermore, if my local natural store is to be believed (which I haven’t verified, so take this with a grain of salt!), the manufacturer is an awesome company who even gives their employees paid leave for a couple weeks if they adopt a rescue puppy. I love that!So, the big question… do they actually work? YES, at least for me.Again, I am not a fan of medication in general. I’m the person who declines pain medications even after surgery. I take vitamin & immune supplements, but I am dubious about the effectiveness of even supplements I consider to be pretty harmless and occasionally take (like melatonin). Nothing has a clear, definable effect on me, except for ashwagandha. It improves my ability to fall asleep and stay asleep, helps me maintain regular sleep/wake schedules, and quiets the worries that keep me up and night and make me sick to my stomach with anxiety during the day.I am positive it is not just a placebo effect, as there have been days I have wondered why I’m so nervous and upset all day, only to find my ashwagandha pill still sitting where I forgot to take it hours before. This has happened multiple times with the same effect each time. Before I bit the bullet and ordered this bottle through Amazon (which is more expensive than my local retailer for this product), I had run out for several weeks. My sleep habits were getting worse and worse. I’ve always been a night owl, but I was literally unable to sleep until after the sun had risen every day, and would struggle to feel energized even after 8-9 hours of sleep. The very next day after I got this new bottle of ashwagandha, I was wide awake at 10:30 AM and feeling refreshed. I have not had such sleep issues since.This is by no means a miracle cure, and I hesitate to give people false hope in case it isn’t effective for you, however I consider this a wonderful, natural method to treat my anxiety, insomnia, and depression. It makes a tremendous impact in my life. I would highly recommend (if your doctor OKs it, of course!) trying this supplement if you have trouble quieting anxious thoughts. Please feel free to ask if you have questions! I hope my experience can help others find a solution to their own anxiety issues.

Awesome supplement and awesome company
I developed bipolar 2 disorder about 4 years ago and ever since then it has been a constant struggle trying to find the right combo of meds/supplements. I ran across a link to a peer reviewed double-blind placebo study posted on reddit 9 months about the effectiveness of using ashwagandha as an adjunctive treatment to treat the social cognition symptoms of bipolar disorder. I figured what the hell and I ordered a bottle of ashwagandha from organic India. It definitely didn’t cure me of my bipolar or anything, but I’ve got to way my sleep, anxiety, and memory are significantly better since I started taking ashwagandha on a daily basis (2 pills 2x day). I’m a junior biochemistry major and I was able to get a 3.95 this semester taking organic chem 2, physics 2, cell bio, biochem, and neuropsychology. The previous semester I was barely able to pull out a 3.0 and I was only taking 2 200 level science courses. Are my grades this semester solely due to me taking ashwagandha? Ehhhhhh probably not as I also made some medication adjustments at the beginning of the semester, but I guarantee you that ashwagandha is definitely partially responsible for it. As far as organic India goes, I have never ordered ashwagandha from anyone else but I can say the ashwagandha they sell is very high quality (it works really well) and the company’s shipping speed and customer service is insanely good. I have ordered other supplements from them that I have also ordered from other companies, and I can definitely tell a difference in the quality of their products compared to brands like nature made and gnc. Overall highly recommend this supplement if you are dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar, or just stress (check with your Dr. first since supplements can contradict meds/medical conditions!!!) and Organic India’s prices, quality, and customer service are top notch. Also here’s a link to that study […] and I’m going to disclose that they in no way, shape, or form have paid me or given me a discount on any of their products for this review.

I’ve taken valerian root and camomile before, but they are much better at inducing sleep than at regulating daily stress levels. So, I’ve decided to try ashwaghanda and I have been taking the supplement for the past week and it has started working straight away. But it did take some time to figure out the best dosage and timing for taking this supplement. As ashwaghanda affects everyone differently, this will be different for everyone. One pill a day was too much for me, as (even though it made it calmer and helped with sleeping more soundly) it also made it groggy and sleepy during the day – not good when you have a high-pressure job where you always have to do presentations and think on your feet (one of the reasons for starting to take ashwaghanda). I’ve done some research and it was recommended to start from a smaller dose and take the supplement with a meal to minimise any drowsiness. So I took a third of a pill once a day at dinner, and it’s been great! Even though I do feel a bit unmotivated to get up in the mornings, it’s becoming less of an issue as days go by and I am definitely a lot more chilled out during the day. I am definitely a convert!

Good quality , it actually works
