“It helped me a little with general tension, but it also messed with my sleep and gave me weird dreams, so I stopped. Definitely talk to your doc first, it can interact with meds and it’s not great for everyone. If you’re looking for non benzo options, magnesium glycinate, slower breathing, and cutting caffeine did more for me. For work stress that was feeding my anxiety, I signed up for wfhalert, it emails legit remote job leads like customer support or admin stuff, which helped me plan an exit without doom scrolling.”

“It helped my anxiety a LOT. I get air hunger (for sometimes no reason at all), and taking ash twice a day (I bought the [brand removed] gummies) gets rid of that completely. It also gives you crazy strong dreams (which is something I actually love). It doesn't 'cure' anxiety - as in, when I've stopped taking it, I find I have all of the symptoms again, but it's good if you really need something to calm you down when you're going through a period of bad anxiety. I think you're supposed to cycle on and off because it can technically harm your liver.”

“I've been reading a lot about different supplements and even nootropics. I would recommend doing a simple search of "Ashwaganda" in this sub for some more research and personal reviews. Based on my findings, it's not for everyone. Some have great experiences, some don't. I've also read that it should be cycled and not taken daily to reduce the negative effects of taking it daily.”

“I absolutely love ashwaganda. I take every night except when I’m ovulating and have the lowest anxiety levels. My anxiety makes me not want to do anything / depressed and ashwaganda makes it a lot easier to exist without racing thoughts, it also helps my nervous stomach”

“Been tracking my cortisol and sleep metrics for about six months, and ashwagandha made a noticeable difference after three weeks. I'm using [brand removed] Ashwagandha, the 655mg dose with black pepper for absorption, and my HRV improved noticeably while my morning cortisol came down. The main con is it takes consistent use to see results, not immediate, but if you're serious about stress adaptation it's worth the trial period.”

“For me it has been a tremendous help. If you are by any chance in the US I use [brand removed] Anxiety and Stress relief. It’s ksm 66 and l theanine. I’ve tried the [brand removed] brand w saffron and it made me agitated. Where as this I literally swear by and recommend to ANYONE willing to listen 😂”

“I don't understand it, ginseng is known to make you more vital but I've felt nothing at all. I've consumed 240g in a month, twice a day. Still low energy, lethargic, brain fog etc. Biggest waste of money so far for me, this sh\*\* is so expensive. I wonder whether I got fake ginseng...”

“Hi. I'm Korean, and your red ginseng brand, Jung Kwan Jang, is a top-tier brand even in South Korea.... It's operated and manufactured by a state-owned company called Korea Ginseng Corporation.”

“My coworker said the same thing. Back in her 20s and early 30s, she never thought about taking it and didn’t feel the need to. But once she hit her late 30s, she started getting it a lot as gifts and felt like, “Okay, I should probably start taking this.”🤣”
