Banyan BotanicalsOrganic Ashwagandha Powder – Withania somnifera – for Vitality, a Healthy Immune System, Stress Relief, More* – 1lb– Non-GMO Sustainably Sourced Vegan FFL

The taste is tolerable, and worth it! I was advised to use the powder as a tea for reducing anxiety and stress. Works like a charm! I was truly skeptical about its effectiveness, but I’ve had immediate results. I drink a cup every day after work. I add a little bit of stevia to help with the taste.

Excellent product

I absolutely must have this to help with the depression stemming from Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The reason that it helps Hashimoto's depression is because it facilitates conversion of T4 thyroid hormone to T3 thyroid hormone, a vital hormone for human energy and mental well being. I take a tablespoon in water or tea three times daily - 7 a.m., noon, and about 4 p.m. Anything less than that doesn't work. It does cause me to be sluggish and drowsy for about 1.5 hours after I take it, but then I can feel it kick in, and it helps provide energy. I have tried many other OTC depression remedies, but none of them work unless I ALSO take this. This price is the best around, the quality is excellent, and I can't find a bag of ashwaghanda powder like this anywhere in brick and mortar stores. The powder is most effective for me.

It's ashwaganda. It tastes like mud, it doesn't mix well (use a blender) and if you try to decoct it it foams up like crazy. But that's just how ashwagandha is, it's not a blend with all kinds of fillers. It's only the root powder. Seems like it's good to me!

Amazing product as far as what it does as an herb, taste wise using this it is absolutely disgusting and hard to swallow. Ashwagandha is an amazing herb, but I'd personally recommend getting the tincture liquid form because this taste flat out horrible. I'm still giving this 4 stars because it's a great product, it's just hard to get down because how horrible it taste.I originally bought this for hormonal issues but I also found that this is great for helping focus problems like that you would have with ADHD which it works very well for. It will also increase your sex drive because if you don't know already ashwagandha is a type of ginseng. Just like with ginseng you need a means of relieving sexual tension if you want to take it as a supplement. If you want an herb for it's aphrodisiac properties I'd recommend this or maca.

Definitely feel a calming effect and also sleep better and sleep through the night, after taking the Banyan Ashwaganda powder 1/4 tsp each morning. I read about this herbal product in an article about sleep in the Daily Mail newspaper. Apparently there have been studies on it. I feel much more relaxed but in addition to that have more energy too. Some people might think why pay for "organic" on a dried powder but my answer is you can wash pesticides off the unpeeled skin of a piece of fruit, but you cannot wash and rinse a dried powder. So I want mine organic. In any case the product is lasting a long time and giving benefits. I take the smallest recommended dose: 1/4 tsp, one per day. Recommend.

This is a high quality Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is one of Ayurveda's topmost important herbs. It equalizes the doshas and brings the body back into a balance. It also helps to re-establish health adrenal glands. A part of the body which in modern times has experienced extra stress. Between the high speed and advanced enviornment we live in today's society our bodies subtle energies do take a beating and feel the overstimulation as well. Ashwagandha has become a daily routine in my life to help equalize things and also feel relaxed. I had suffered from insomnia for over a year and I will have to say a balanced lifestyle and balancing herbs is what really healed me. Ashwagandha can help people in so many ways, I highly reccomend this product because you can feel these calming effects almost instantly after taking a dose!

Love this stuff for many reasons. It's an adadptogenic herb which means that it will help regulate the hormones whether they are high or low levels. I had some issues with some very large fibroids. When I laid on my back with my stomach pulled in, it looked like an alien was in my belly - literally like a scary movie. I've been taking Ashwagandha now for 2-3 months on a daily basis, and the fibroids have noticebly shrunk. They are still there but they are small now, and I now see how much out of whack my hormones were - mood swings too have now leveled out. When I had an ultrasound a few years ago, they were the size of a 3 month fetus, and they ended up getting much bigger. Wish I could post a pic of how big they got, but being they are in my lower abdomen, the pics would prob be rejected. I've tried a bunch of things like iodine, essential oils & some other stuff & nothing seemed to really work until the Ashwagandha. I'm super happy to find this. The doc wanted to do surgery - I said no way & glad I did!
