Organic Ashwagandha Root

[Amazon Top Contributor Review]✔ Ashwagandha is an incredibly rejuvenating herb that is used to support and heal many health conditions. It's one of the most highly regarded and commonly used adaptogens in the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. As a balancing adaptogen, it boosts the body's ability to resist stress, while healing the damage stress has already created in the body (believe me, it builds up and affects you negatively). It enables the body to reserve and sustain vital energy throughout the day, while promoting sound, restful sleep at night. Ashwagandha maintains proper nourishment of the tissues, particularly muscle and bone. It also nourishes and strengthens nervous, adrenal, thyroid, and immune function. This potent herb decreases inflammation, which relieves chronic pain in rheumatism, chronic illness and injuries. It's used to promote muscle strength, ease stiffness, and to support comfortable joint movement. Ashwagandha is an excellent supplement to support those suffering from conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome/M.E., chronic headache or migraine, back pain, muscle spasm/spasticity, anxiety, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and much more. I can personally attest to this because I deal with many of these issues daily, and I help treat those with similar conditions. Ashwagandha is used to maintain a healthy libido, boosting vitality, vigor, and strength in its users. As a rejuvenative, Ashwagandha is particularly useful to seniors, people with chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, thyroid issues, and for anyone that would benefit from a natural source of calm energy. In our society of high stress and even higher expectations, this can be extremely valuable. You may not like the strong, earthy smell and taste of Ashwagandha; it takes some getting used to. The powder can be simmered in milk, and this fatty delivery system may increase benefits for the fat-lined nervous system. Try it with almond, hemp, or coconut milk. You can add some honey (bonus points for Manuka UMF-rated honey, an effective natural antibiotic) or maple syrup to sweeten the taste. Ashwagandha also blends well in decocted teas, including chai, and with cacao powder. Of course you can choose to encapsulate it in gelatin or vegetable capsules like I do. Just keep in mind: particularly in humid weather, this powder can get pretty sticky on your hands and on your capsules. Use clean rubber gloves if you'd like to avoid this from happening. I make most capsules by hand without a capsule-making machine, so I can fully pack them to the brim. I use size 00 gel capsules. Ashwagandha is often used in sleep aids, although it can give you energy as well. It's a super versatile adaptogen, and one of my absolute favorites. It has truly helped me find and maintain functionality again. I'm finally beginning to recover from my chronic illness and its symptoms, and learning to deal with my chronic pain. This herbal extract has given me strength and mental clarity, while significantly reducing my levels of stress. Any stress, even normal levels of it, can immediately make me sick, so I work hard every day to avoid unnecessary conflicts. I take Ashwagandha and complementary supplements in capsules throughout the day, and I love what it does for me and my family. You will too! Micro Ingredients is a dependable supplement company and this is a great product. Tip: My powder eventually got clumpy and old, even though it was always kept sealed in the bag. You may want to consider transferring the powder to a glass jar to keep it longer. I'm not sure this bag is totally airtight. It's very thin. Unless you're making bulk amounts of supplements, it's better not to purchase too much of the powder at once.

This ashwagandha root powder is fresh, high quality, and an excellent value for the amount you receive. The powder mixes well into smoothies, teas, and other beverages, and the large container lasts a very long time. I appreciate that it's organic and contains no unnecessary additives. The packaging keeps the product fresh, and the quality has been consistent. If you're looking for a clean, organic ashwagandha powder, this is a great choice. Highly recommend!

This product (and Ashwaghanda itself, as sold) has the tendency of being an awesome, natural boon to a person’s ability to destress. It serves a much better and more productively controlled purpose than alcoholic beverages do. Alcohol tends to leave people with traits that involve significantly higher levels of irresponsibility throughout the day after. This ashwaghandha product works very well for me. To avoid higher irresponsibility levels, I would choose to consume Ashwagandha the evening before as a much more viable alternative to destressing than a beer or a glass of wine.

I feel a difference 👍

Definitely noticed a calming of my nervous system. It's exactly what I have been needing.

Only thing I had a problem with was when I accidentally took a double dose on accident, it gave me a really bad head ache and made me sweat. That aside, it smells like sh*t, I'm sure it tastes like sh*t, but I wouldn't know, because I capped it. After I saw everyone saying on here that it tastes bad, I just used the gelatin capsules I bought to take my kratom, and voila! No taste, no smell, perfectly harmless going down, no struggles! OMG THE EFFECTS OF THIS! It's like I'm a different person. I have a chronic illness, several actually, most of which have beaten me down with fatigue! It's awful, but THIS root has given me more motivation than I ever would have imagined. Since getting my illnesses I haven't been able to work, I've had really bad anxiety, and can't stand more tan a half hour due to pain. This has gotten rid of ALL of that, in just 4 DAYS! I'm now cleaning and cooking all in one standing, I'm thinking about going back to work AND going back to college, and my eye sight has even improved! That was an unexpected prize! No more blurriness, and no more crappy night vision! I can't say wnough how happy I am with this ashwaganda root. Who knew, first one I tried would be THE ONE! I'm so happy :D

Great!

We just started using this brand and it seems to be good quality. It mixes easily too, which is nice because alone it's not that great tasting (not that it should be). It's an adaptogen and can reduce stress. May be hard to tell if there is any difference in how we feel but worth a try because feeling less stress would be good.
