Gaia Herbs, Ashwagandha Root Vegan Liquid Phyto Capsules - Stress Relief, Immune Support Supplement, Balanced Energy Levels and Mood , 60-Count (Pack of 1)

I suffer from anxieties and depression at times due to grief from losing my parents. My sister ‘n law told me about this product 2 years ago and I’ve been taking it since. I take it only “as needed” not everyday like some people. It help to keep my mind regulated with a calming disposition during stressful moments. I refuse to be medicated by psychotropic prescription meds from my Doctors office that have side effects. Hell I told my Doctor about it and he stated that he will start taking it, lol! Therefore, this is as natural as meds can gets and it’s beneficial to my mental and physical health. I love it!! And I highly recommend it to everyone, especially to COLLEGE STUDENTS. Craming for mid-terms and finals exams will hit different, I promise….🙂

I tried this after reading at least 50 reviews. I was suffering from anxiety and stress and have always been a worrywart. I've been struggling with stress and mild depression for about 4 months now, and it has been really hard to motivate myself and to convince myself of doing what I knew would help with my depression/anxiety/stress. I felt like I needed to take medicine, which I hate, so I started doing research on natural supplements, as I would always prefer natural over pharmaceutical. I don't think it was a placebo effect from having high hopes, but I feel like I felt it within 30 minutes of taking it in the morning. It was like a lighter feeling that came over me, but with energy. I felt like my head was more clear and i feel like it even boosted my productivity and made me become more focused on my daily tasks. I've only been taking it for about 4 days now, but I feel like it's working so well already.Besides the affects that it has had on my mood and energy, I believe that it has also help regulate my period. I haven't had one in about 6-7 months, and usually I never get an actual period, just spotting for a few days every 2-3 months. I got my period on the 3rd day of taking it which was a surprise to me, as I never really get them anymore. I forgot all about how I have been taking this supplement, and then it occurred to me that it regulates hormones. The only other supplement that has helped me with this before was Vitex, and even then it didn't seem to work nearly as well as this. I have gone to several doctor's about my irregular periods and have tests done on my hormones, thyroids and fertility and none of them seemed concerned, as all the results seemed to be normal, but I knew that it wasn't right to not really have periods. it concerned me due to the possibility of it leading to infertility if I were to ever decide to have a child in the future when I get older. I'll update with the longer-term results, but I can't imagine that the results will change much and have hope that it will only yield better in the future after taking it regularly.I'm pretty excited to have found this natural supplement. It may be a combination of hopefulness and the Ashwagandha itself, but I plan on taking this for a while, with breaks, as recommended. I'm hoping that the effects will last even when I take the breaks for several weeks in between. I also started taking Rhodiola with this 2 days ago and the combination seems to be working wonders. I feel so much better about myself and taking these as a pair. I have sustained energy throughout the day and am able to push past the stress and anxiety about problems I once thought were huge. I feel like I can push past the stages of dwelling and overthinking on the small stuff.Also, I feel like it has helped with my sleep schedule. I would never set an alarm, I would go to sleep between 2-5 am every night and wake up at 1-1:30 pm everyday. But now I fall asleep and am ready for bed around 12-2 am and am getting up at 10:30-11 am, which is great since waking up later in the day has made me feel guilty about my productivity and what I could have gotten done if I woke up early. I truly recommend this for those with hormonal imbalances, or those who suffer from depression/anxiety/ stress control or all of them combined.

This product is extremely helpful in helping with mood. It's a supporter towards thyroid function and adrenal glands which work together to support metabolism, heart rate, mood, nervous system--everything. It's hard to say that this works for everyone because honestly not everyone eats well for themselves. If you want to find out if something really works for you, stop eating the 'crap' foods and learn about your body and what you can and can't tolerate through an elimination diet. I have seen reviews on products and people say it doesn't work for them but then they go eat Wendy's or McDonald's or boxed lunches from the frozen section of the grocery store. If it says "Annie's" it doesn't mean that it's healthy it means that it's better than plastic. Still being microwaved, still being used as a 'healthy' alternative. The truth is, if you aren't making your own food or your parents aren't making healthy food from scratch and I'm talking raw materials not from a box. Then you most likely are eating food that you can't tolerate or is too overwhelming for your body. Will this product work for you? It's about as likely as sticking a fishing rod in a pond and catching a fish. No one knows. Will this product work for you if you eat according to how your body can process foods? Yes. Yes and it works wonders. Helps regulate my mood, helps with supporting my thyroid. I notice it in my mood the most. However, lack of adrenal support has very difficult ways of 'communicating' with the 'host' that something isn't working right. You may notice weight gain, but contribute that to over-eating or eating bad foods. If you really want to help yourself supporting your thyroid functions, I suggest taking a look at what you eat. Start off with whole foods. Produce. People who suffer from PCOS, this is great to help with. However, you still have to take a look at your diet. In fact you should look at your diet first and foremost. People who suffer from hypothyroidism shouldn't eat peanuts. That really slows down the thyroid as do strawberries. I love peanuts more than anyone else, but I don't eat them. I choose not to because I don't want to do long term damage to my body. There are great alternatives to peanuts, like sunflower butter. I have found that to be the most similar. But once you stop eating peanut butter, you realize the world is much bigger and you don't really need to rely on foods like peanut butter. There's a really big world of food out there it's much greater than the 70's and 80's. There's an alternative to practically everything.More about the actual product:No real significant taste, it's a capsule and it's small enough to swallow.When I stopped taking Ashwagandha when I found out I was pregnant, I noticed the mood shift immediately.Then I asked my doctor about taking it and she was fine with that and I'm back to feeling normal (for as much as you can being pregnant and all).It's an excellent product.
