Physician's CHOICE Ashwagandha Supplement - 1950mg of Bioavailable Organic Ashwagandha Root Powder - Black Pepper Extract, Stress Support, Mood Support Supplement, 90 Veggie Capsules

Great product. Calms the brain...helps with sleep. Love it!

I was under an extreme amount of stress. Had been taking Busiprone prescribed by my doctor for anti-anxiety and stress relief. I am also over weight and had found out about ashwagandha from watching a YouTube video on how to lower cortisol levels naturally. I looked on Amazon and decided to order and try your product. Within just a few days I could tell a difference. It was truely incredible. I had some pretty bad road rage before. I would get mad and start yelling in the car if someone pulled out in front of me and was going slower than I was. Within a week of taking your product I was driving home and someone pulled out in front of me going 25 in a 35 zone. Cars were zooming past me in the fast lane and the line of cars behind me were getting over to go around us as well. Before I would have hit the roof at that point. Yelling, flipping the person off and such. This time my first thought was "Oh well, I'll just wait for everyone else to go around and then I'll go around.". That was the realization point for me. When I knew that your ashwagandha was working for me. Not just working, but out performing the Busiprone that was precribed by my doctor. The Busiprone is only for like anti-anxiety, depression, stress relief and it's a chemical thing. Your ashwagandha is anit-anxiety, stress relief, mood elevator, adrenal support, immune support and natural. Can't get much better than that. A few months later.....It has worked so well for me at elevating my mood that now my mother (who was on Zoloft) is using it too. She is doing much better using this than the Zoloft.

I bought this to help with my anxiety, mood and sleep. I took the recommended dosage a couple hours before bedtime and it helped so much with my sleeping. I used to wake up several times a night and now I sleep through the night and wake up feeling great. Melatonin gives me horrible nightmares, so I was looking for an alternative. Although mid morning I do start to feel a little drowsy. My mood has gotten a lot better, feeling more optimistic. I suffer from depression and have tried several OTC and prescriptions. My anxiety has lessened and I really enjoy this product. I feel like a normal person plus no prescription needed. Now for the bad. I am heart broken... After trying Ashwagangha for a week, I am having a slight allergic reaction to it. I started having small, random itchy bumps (rash) on my abdomen and back. I have not changed anything in my diet or personal cleaning products. I know I should stop taking this but it is the first thing (OTC or prescription) that has actually helped me feel better and sleep better. I might try taking a smaller dosage or a different brand to see if that helps. I really like this product but because I'm having a reaction to it, I gave it 4 stars.

Love this product. As represented and helps keep me calm and lowers my stress

I do love this product, in that, the company is transparent about its origins and what it is intended for. It is American made and tested, the veggie capsules are a biiiiiiiiiiig plus. There are no guarantees but I do have hope. I have seen a minor reduction in my stress but I've only been taking it about a week so and I'd prefer to give it a longer run before passing full judgement. Both to ensure its efficacy, that this is not a placebo affect, and to see how higher doses may affect me, especially during my better days. This has been a fairly anxiety provoking week, and seeing as I have ptsd, panic disorder, depression, and generalized anxiety disorder, I really am a rigorous test for the product to endure. I've also started at a lower dose to work my way up to avoid any possible issues it may cause. I have noticed a bit of water retention beyond the norm, but sometimes my anxiety has a hand in that, so again, not passing judgement quite yet. There is no flavor with these capsules, they don't gum up and dissolve right away, which I like. I'm very averse to certain smells and textures and these capsule check all the right boxes on that front. All in all my initial impression of this product is a good one and I do see its potential with continued use. I'd like to see how an increased dose would affect me, and if it would not lose efficacy over time. UPDATE: I have gotten to the recommended dose and my anxiety attacks are much more manageable than previously, I still have stress but there has been a significant reduction in how it negatively affects me. No more hair falling out!!!!! I would definitely recommend this to people who don't have diagnosed anxiety disorders as a good way to relax. However I cannot say whether it would cause any interaction with any medications, so I would recommend talking to your provider before combining this with your regular medication regimen. As for those who are diagnosed with anxiety, panic attacks, ptsd, or depression(or all four like me) this is not a magic bullet but it may provide some marginal relief in the beginning, definitely keep at it before you pass judgement and consult your psychiatrist (like I did) before combining it with your current meds or adding it to your treatment plan.

I have tried this product for the last 3 days (yes, i will post a review after 1 week of usage and so on). So far, I have taken the recommended dosage amount of 3 pills per day. First day, I took 3 pills once it arrived on Saturday afternoon, felt fine, felt calmed throughout the day. My boyfriend also took the recommended amount and felt calmer and less anxiety especially going out that same night. We did notice that we felt less anxiety being out and around people. Later that night, i woke up feeling very nauseous and sick. I tried to throw up and could not. My stomach just felt awful and could not go back to sleep. My boyfriend did not experience the same thing. He just felt tired. The next morning, I felt okay so I decided to take the 3 pills that morning and so did my boyfriend. Again, there was a sense of calmness and less anxiety throughout our day but I was also experiencing fatigue. I was extremely tired and unable to focus on anything but still felt calm. Later that night, I had felt a bit nauseous but not as bad as the first experience. I asked my boyfriend how he felt and he said he felt great, less stressed, less worried but tired. He felt very tired towards the end of the day and had very vivid nightmares that night. We decided to change our dosage to two pills on the third day. For our third day I was feeling very tired at work (figured that may have been from taking the recommended dosage amount of the 3 pills the day before). Very fatigued, very sluggish, still a little nauseous. This time, I took two after work in the evening whereas he took two pills later at night before bed. I felt calm that evening and had a good night sleep. My boyfriend, however felt like he passed out very shortly after taking the pills and felt a bit sluggish waking up the next morning. I felt great waking up the next day and did not have trouble waking up. Based on our experience for the last three days, I will be taking two instead of the three pills because it is way too much for my stomach to handle. I still feel like I am recovering from taking the three pills. A little worried to take it in the morning as i don't want it to effect my work throughout the day so will continue to take the two in the evening. My boyfriend will be taking two pills throughout the day (one in morning, one at night) and see how it works for him. Tip so far: do not start out with three (you'll feel ill)! or maybe start out with three but gradually make your decision on what your body can handle. Stay tuned!

Yes thank you. Ease of swallow, great quality, and it’s worth the value for your money and the health benefits are great.

I really like this ashwagandha supplement. It is organic and also includes the black pepper extract. I have recently started to take ashwagandha to try to help with symptoms from hypothyroid. So far I’ve been having some pretty good results. It’s also been helping with general sleep quality. Now, to be fair, my sleep quality also suffers because I have narcolepsy, but the issues with sleep that were coming from the thyroid problems seem to have improved some since starting the ashwagandha. I have taken black pepper extract on its own before and didn’t really like it. However, I like it in this supplement. I don’t know if maybe it’s how this company sources it or perhaps the way they combine it with the ashwagandha, but this really works. Overall, this is a great supplement, and it really works to help me feel more balanced, relaxed, less overall stress, and to help keep my energy levels more stabilized, which is what those of us with thyroid issues are seeking since I know many of us with hypothyroid tend to feel very fatigued and low. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a boost in treating their hypothyroid symptoms. Of course, check with your doctor first to make sure that adding this would be a good idea for your treatment plan, but I personally love it!
