BulkSupplements.com Ashwagandha Root Extract Powder - Ashwagandha Supplement, Ashwagandha Powder - from Ashwagandha Root - Vegan & Gluten Free, 600mg per Serving, 250g (8.8 oz) (Pack of 1)

Cleaning out my supplements drawer, I recently found the Ashwaganda I purchased from Bulk Supplements back in March 2019. I had transferred it from the sealed packet it came in to a glass jar with a sealed top but 1/8 tsp. up to 3 X a day dose suggested had done nothing for me that I noticed and I had stopped taking it. Over the next 5-1/2 years the product in the jar had melted down from 5" of powder to about 3/4" of hardened, thick, dark syrup. I couldn't dig it out with a spoon so I filled the jar with water and put it in the microwave. The hard syrup cake didn't loosen but the water turned coffee dark and, out of curiosity I tasted it, It was delicious! Not one to be wasteful, I continued sipping it throughout the day, repeatedly filling it with water and microwaving it over the next couple of weeks until the cake was finally completely melted. I have no way to even guess the dose of Ashwaganda I was taking but from the very first day I started feeling better, stronger and very happy. My energy tends to fluctuate erratically but had been bumping along zero for over a year. Suddenly I could think clearly. I could remember so much I had been forgetting. I could even remember what I was trying to do while I was doing it! (Anyone old probably knows what I'm talking about). There was so much I wanted to do and everything felt possible, some things even easy. My body couldn't quite keep up at first but it got stronger every day, It was almost like being young again only with lower expectations and more patience,.At first I wasn't sure it was the Ashwaganda, after all, I had felt nothing 5 years ago and my stash had aged, presumably losing potency. Over the years I have had days, more and more rare, when I unexplainably felt like myself again for a few hours. I had never been able to recreate those days at will, but they gave me hope and kept me trying.The jar was finally clear a few days ago. I had been reading about Rhodiola and it sounded even better than Ashwaganda so I ordered some from Bulk Supplements. Delivery was taking too long so I found capsules from another company that promised to deliver overnight and actually did! The first 500 mg capsule made me feel awful. Of course, with supplements you never really know. It could have been the stress from Hurricane Helena, or the withdrawal from Ashwaganda. Nevertheless, I searched through all my supplements for help and to my great joy I found my original packet of Ashwaganda, more than half full! And, wonder of wonders, the powder was still loose and measurable! Gave me new respect for Bulk Supplements' packaging that annoys so many people. Yesterday I measured two 1/8 tsp of the powder into a cup of hot microwaved water. It seemed to barely take the edge off my funk. Just placebo maybe? I took another dose before bed. Maybe more earlier? It's all a bit hazy. My memory isn't all the way back yet, but I did sleep much better last night. Took 1/4 tsp this morning after coffee. (Yes, I know that's the same as two 1/8 tsp.).That was two hours ago and I'm convinced: it's definitely the Ashwaganda! I never want to run out. It will take time to fine-tune my dosage with my newly discovered aged powder and Amazon reviews of Bulk Supplements' Ashwaganda have taken a scary dive lately. I'll wait to see if they sort that out before trying another supplier. I like and trust Bulk Supplements.

Cheap and good . The quality from bulk supplements is always good. I buy alot from them.

Great value for the money! Exactly what is advertised! I would definitely mixed with any type of flavored water or protein powder! Shake well it does like to clump if not shaken or stirred enough!

I have been a long-time customer of this company, primarily for their Ashwagandha extract. Their product stood out for its high-quality, pleasant taste, and purity. However, my recent experiences have left me deeply disappointed.About a year and a half ago, I received a batch of Ashwagandha that was nearly black in color and had a rancid taste. Despite the company’s insistence that the product was not contaminated, my experience suggested otherwise. I decided to take a break and explore alternatives.Recently, I decided to give them another chance, hoping that my previous experience was an isolated incident. Unfortunately, the product I received this time around was far from satisfactory. While the color was improved, the texture was off, resembling cornstarch more than the grainy texture I was accustomed to. The flavor was tangy and caused a burning sensation in my mouth, unlike any Ashwagandha I’ve ever had.To my disappointment, I noticed an additional ingredient - dextrin. I was under the impression that I was purchasing a pure extract powder, not one with additives. This change was not communicated, and it has significantly impacted my experience with the product.Furthermore, the product does not dissolve well. Despite my best efforts - shaking, stirring, and even using an electric stirrer - I ended up with undissolved brown clumps. My attempt to return the product for a refund was unsuccessful.I am writing this review to express my dissatisfaction with the recent decline in the quality of the Ashwagandha extract. I hope the company takes this feedback seriously and works towards improving their product. Until then, I cannot recommend this product.

Leaves me with a dry mouth, but sleep great.......don't take with morning coffee if you work or plan on driving. That strong of a sleep aid.
