Gaia Herbs Ashwagandha Root
Stress reduction, mood support, general well-being, adaptogenic support.. While 350mg of ashwagandha extract is a fair amount, the 2.5mg of withanolides is well below clinically effective doses. Most studies showing benefits use products yielding 10-30mg of withanolides daily. This product's low active compound content limits its potential efficacy.
