Sports Research® Ashwagandha Softgels with Coconut MCT Oil - Natural Adaptogen Made with Shoden® Ashwa for Relaxation, Calm & Sleep Support - Gluten Free & Vegan Friendly - 60 Count

Hello! I’d like to share my experience with this product. I absolutely love this brand — all of my supplements are from Sports Research. I use several of their products: Creatine, Omega-3, D3-K2, Astaxanthin, Magnesium, Zinc, and Collagen. Every single one has been top-quality, and this Ashwagandha is no exception in terms of purity and formulation.That said, I’d like to talk about how it personally affected me. I’m a very hyperactive person — my mind works fast and tends to overthink everything. I’ve tried various Ashwagandha formulas over the years, but this one, with a high 35% withanolide concentration, didn’t sit well with my system.The first time I took it, I used it daily in the mornings after breakfast for two weeks. I began to feel increased anxiety, excessive overthinking, and even mild paranoia when focusing on negative thoughts. I stopped taking it, and those sensations faded by the second day.Just a few days ago, I decided to give it another try and took it again for a full week — unfortunately, the exact same reaction occurred, confirming that this particular concentration doesn’t work for me.Of course, not all bodies and minds react the same way. What happened to me doesn't mean this is a bad product — in fact, I believe the opposite: it’s a strong, high-quality extract. It just wasn’t the right match for me personally.I’ve gone back to a more traditional Ashwagandha formula and feel much better. It helps me slow down my mind, which is what I was aiming for, and when I pair it with PharmaGABA, I sleep really well.I hope my experience helps someone out there!

This is the second time I’ve ordered this product. It is good quality and value. Easy to swallow. It tastes almost like licorice. It is effective.

I bought these because I watched a "SciShow" video on YT that had good things to say about this and reducing stress by reducing cortisol...I normally am not a stressed person but a few months ago I went through one of the most stressful periods of my life. to keep it short I broke my arm, no insurance, was between jobs and had a heck of a time trying to figure out a job when you're showing up to interviews with your arm in a sling, got an eviction letter, had to also take on a disabled family member and care for them. Really a perfect storm of unfortunate timing and circumstances. I was able to get to the other side and now I'm in one of the best positions I've been in in life but I started taking this stuff AFFTER having climbed over that mountain. I feel so good and man anything that might of made me angry or stressed now just kind of doesn't effect me at all. I got hit in a hit and run the other day (not kidding) which did about 8k in damage to my car and thankfully I am fully insured now and my insurance is handling it but I even have my dash cam video of it. I was just so calm and just went about my day and took care of it without too much stress... (not to pretend I WASN'T at all stressed or angry... I was... But I just handled it all gracefully.Just have this daily with your morning coffee (or what ever your morning routine is).Now... could I just be feeling good because I went from rock bottom recently to having a really good job that I love and handling all my business and THEN started trying this? Sure. I don't think this stuff can "fix" issues or make an unhappy person happy - but I do feel like it can make it easier for you to handle stuff.There's also some niche anecdotal 'side effects' or other effects people like to say this stuff is good for... like making you more... manly? vigorous? I do feel that way but I really couldn't say if its because of this pill or because I just feel so much better and am in a better place and am much happier. But sure.Anyways - whether this is 'helping' or the whole reason I'm happier / less stressed and experiencing all kinds of goodness in my life currently I at least 'believe' in it now lol so placebo or not I'm going to keep taking this until some bombshell research comes out refuting it.

GREAT product seems to work to all expectations!

Good price for a quality supplement

They have Definitely help me unwind at night and I feel well rested in the morning. No nasty or bitter after taste. Will order again

First thing is the product is appealing to the eye and the bottle is FULL. I hate getting vitamins or supplements and the bottle is only 10% full. I bought this and the evening primrose. In just a couple of uses I've noticed a change in my mood anxiety and skin. I have to be extremely careful taking supplements abs vitamins. Most everything breaks my skin out. This has not. I'll be exploring this brand for more of my health needs.

Very good
