Machacado, (Carne Seca or Dried Beef)

I started using this product in January of 2022. I should have used it under the guidance of a naturopath, but I didn’t. I knew Ashwagandha was becoming quite popular, and since I was struggling with some anxiety, I thought I’d try it. I took it every day for 8 1/2 months. Fast forward to September 2022 when I decided to stop taking it because I wasn’t sure it was working. Within two days I was experiencing full blown withdrawal symptoms: suicidal thoughts, absence of emotion (my brain felt totally blank), feelings of emptiness and disassociation, depression, panic attacks that landed me in the ER (I’ve never had one before so I thought I was experiencing anaphylaxis), erratic heart rate, extremely dark nightmares, insomnia, etc. All of that took 6 weeks to taper off. I’m now on week 10, and while I am more or less recovered, my body has developed a SEVERE sensitivity to ANY other supplements in my arsenal that I would typically use for mild anxiety. I have allergic reactions now to passionflower & valerian, magnesium makes me depressed, caffeine gives me panic attacks, and the list goes on. I am left with severe nighttime insomnia related to PTSD from my traumatic withdrawal experience AND I can’t take anything to help me sleep without reacting to it. If this sounds like your idea of a good time, go ahead and take this supplement. If not, here’s my advice: find a different brand with a lower starting dose if you haven’t taken Ashwagandha before. Cycle off of it occasionally. Not sure what the cycle rate is, but hopefully your Naturopath can tell you that. These products should come with warning labels just like pharmaceuticals. But no long term safety studies have been done, so they don’t. It’s possible you’ll be fine if you take this supplement. It’s also possible you’ll end up like me. Consume with caution.

I have been taking these 2 times a day for anxiety for a couple of months and as of this writing do not feel any improvement. I will try for another month or two before I give up, I know these supplements take time.

I got this to help with anxiety and stress. This is much stronger than I expected and it actually works rather well. It definitely seems like a more natural alternative to prescription meds. I'm halfway through the first bottle and I already feel that it's helped with my stress level. I'll but it again.

I’ve been having problems sleeping for years. I wake up in the middle of the night and my mind starts racing and I start stressing and I can’t go back to sleep for hours. I’ve tried all different natural remedies (I want to stay away from pharmaceuticals) and nothing really made a difference until I tried this ashwagandha! After a few days of taking it, I woke up one morning and realized I’d slept all night. I’ve been sleeping better since-I may wake up to go the bathroom, but I just go right back to sleep. It’s amazing what a good night sleep does to my stress and anxiety levels. I’ve been feeling calmer and more energized all day long. I’m so glad I found this!

I have only been taking this product for a few weeks but so far it’s been great! They are a little large but not too big and with it being in a capsule it is easy to swallow. I’ve had multiple people recommend Ashwagandha as a natural anxiety aid and I’m so glad I chose this company for their great organic ingredients. I was so happy to see they add pepper and avo. oil for full absorption! Highly recommend

good product highly recommend

I started taking this about 10 days ago. With all that is going on with coronavirus, I have really put it to the test! It has significantly reduced my anxiety level and allowed me to sleep better at night. I found that 2 pills a day works best. That feeling of constantly being on edge has really dissipated and I feel much more in control. I am a big fan of Further Food products--I never have to worry about the quality of the ingredients. This has quickly become an essential part of my everyday routine.

I've been using Further Food's Ashwagandha for about two months now, and I've already noticed a bit of a difference in my stress levels. Despite the fact that it's been a particularly stressful time in the world right now with COVID-19, I don't get as stressed as easily. I know I can trust Further Food's quality standards and ingredients, as I've been using their other products for years. I also believe that taking this in conjunction with evening primrose oil capsules has helped balance my hormones and diminish cystic acne. Would recommend!
