NutriRise Organic Ashwagandha Root Capsules with Black Pepper, 1300mg, Natural Stress & Mood, Thyroid & Immune Support Supplement, Clarity, Focus & Energy, Gluten Free, 60 Count

I ordered this for perimenopause mood swings. I was an absolute mess! I was uninterested and unmotivated in everything, short with my family, crying over everything, angry about everything. It was horrible. I was desperately looking for something that would help without going to my doctor and getting put on a prescription. I'm sure that is coming, but for now, I just needed something that helped. I have been taking this for two weeks. I can say that from THE FIRST capsules I noticed a HUGE change. It was unbelievable. I love to laugh and I hadn't laughed or been able to have a normal conversation with my family in a very long time. I was always nitpicking, scowling, and annoyed by long stupid stories. This brought ME back! I was able to focus on stories, wanting to be around my family, able to share my own stories. I wasn't drowning in irritation and frustrated by people just being people (my husband chewing yogurt, my daughter's acrylic nails tapping against her phone as she texts a million miles a minute). Aside from this balancing out mood swings, this also really did give consistent energy, alertness, and focus. I had been noticing that I had been having a hard time driving in traffic at high speeds with people darting in and out, which was a new issue. I was anxious and felt like my response time had diminished. I don't feel like that at all now. I feel like a normal confident driver. I'm not worried or scared. The energy is consistent, not like caffeine which is great for a few hours. This is all day. I'm alert and focused all day. There is no crash in the afternoon and there is no jittery over caffeinated feel. The bottle also says it helps with sleep and relaxation. I have always been a great sleeper. I haven't noticed a difference there, but I wasn't having an issue before. I did tell my doctor I was taking this and that I really loved it. She instantly went "oh yeah, Ashwagandha, that is fantastic for anxiety". I had no idea. Some of my previous symptoms could probably be lumped into that anxiety bucket. I didn't go out and get this for that, but it's helping all the same! I've told everyone about this supplement. I love it! Get it!

I’ve been using NutriRise Organic Ashwagandha for a while now, and it’s one of the few supplements I never want to run out of. When stress hits hard—whether it’s work, home, or just the world being too much—it often shows up as this tight, overwhelming pressure in my chest, like a beast has its claws around me and won’t let go. That’s when I reach for this. I take one capsule along with two L-theanine, and within a short time, that gripping tension starts to release. The beast backs off. My breathing evens out. And I feel like myself again—steady, clear, and calm without feeling drugged or foggy. The product quality has been excellent—we’ve never had a broken capsule, and every bottle shows up right on time through our Amazon subscription (usually every 3–4 months depending on how often my husband and I use it). I also appreciate that it’s organic, gluten-free, and easy on the stomach. ⭐ Pros: Genuinely eases intense stress and chest tightness Organic, gluten-free, and gentle Works well paired with L-theanine Never had a damaged capsule Reliable and consistent subscription delivery ❌ Minor Con: None so far—except that it can feel like a small miracle on tough days, so we go through it quickly! Final thoughts: If your anxiety ever feels like a beast sitting on your chest, this is the calm you’ve been looking for in a bottle. It doesn’t erase your life—but it gives you enough breathing room to live it again.

I’ve tested this product now for about 45 days. Out of concern that the recommended dosage might be too much to take in one day, I ONLY TOOK ONE PILL IN THE MORNING. Here’s my results and opinion. I am not paid for this review nor given any bottles. This is a straight up...”I’ll give it a try” based review. I’m a male in my late 40s. Lower anxiety, better sleep and offset to declining testosterone were my main desired outcomes. 1). Yes, it does improve anxiety and sleep. Found myself sleeping through even on nights where the next day at work was going to be high stress. Noted change. 2). May be associated with diet change but seeing cortisol levels decrease with this, I was curious if it would reduce midsection. I joined Weight Watchers around the same time and have lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks. So...chicken and the egg here?? 3). Definitely without question increases libido and “performance”. Won’t be needing any other help in that dept if you know what I mean. 4). Did not increase testosterone for me. Blood test from 2 years ago was 407. Blood test last week was 397. 5). No noticeable impact on blood pressure. Took BP randomly over the last 6 weeks. Same as always. 6). No jitters, side effects or concerns. 7). Big pills. When i first took them they almost got stuck in throat. Way to do it is, put them in mouth and get be capsules really wet with the water first as you take a mouthful. Then swallow. 8) good value for good sleep and lower anxiety. Not a placebo. There’s stuff I have to deal with that no placebo could overcome. Going to increase dosage now from 1 pill to 2. Will update later

About April 18, 2018 while reading comments about supplements I was considering I read something about Ashwagandha. Curious, I read more, and soon realized it sounded like something that might be good for my husband & maybe even me. When I read the label to him (Premium Stress Response. Enhances Energy & Mood. Healthy Cortisol Levels) he told me to order it. I think he started taking the NutriRise Ashwaghandha shortly after receiving it from Amazon. I think we both noticed some improvement in his mood. But, things moved up several notches after he increased the Ashwagandha dosage & added some more adaptogens (see below), some of which I first learned about while out shopping one day at HomeGoods. One day while out shopping for hours & feeling hungry I decided to look in the food section of HomeGoods for a somewhat healthy snack. That’s when I saw several eye-catching bags, some with the word “Superfood,” which caught my attention. Naturally, I started reading labels. I was so excited about the possible benefits (such as enhances energy, mood & memory; rich in antioxidant) of these “Superfoods” that I forgot about my hunger. But, I wanted to learn more than possible marketing information before purchasing anything. Thank God for smartphones & Google. I was excited to read about possible benefits for some of the Superfoods I was considering, and/or that I had recently purchased, such as: ASHWAGANDHA, an adaptogen: 1) Improves thyroid function 2) Relieves adrenal fatigue. 3) Combats stress and anxiety. 4) May reduce depression. MACA POWDER, an adaptogen: 1) Rich in antioxidants. 2) Enhances energy, mood and memory. MORINGA LEAF POWDER, an adaptogen: 1) Provides anti-oxidants 2) Stabilize mood. 3) Balances hormones. 4) Increase immune function. RHODIOLA, an adaptogen: 1) Help depression. 2) Improve brain function. 3) Help with stress. According to Dr. Josh Axe, an “adaptogen,” is a name given to certain herbs, plants and natural substances that help the body naturally adapt to stressors like a busy schedule, demanding job or illness. Since my system is very sensitive, I have to be much more careful than my husband about what I take & do. I called & read to him what I learned. Like me, he was stoked about the possibilities. My husband immediately added the Maca Powder to his supplements (including NutriRise Ashwagandha, which he started taking first, about April 22, 2018). I think it was a couple days after he started taking Maca Powder that he added OMG Moringa Leaf Powder. He added Rhodiola (NutraChamps) about mid May 2018 (after I read many positive reviews about how it helped consumers handle stress & to sleep better). MY HUSBAND’S RESULTS THUS FAR TAKING ALL OF THE ABOVE ADAPTOGENS: Since my husband started using NutriRise Ashwagandha capsules about April 2018, Maca Powder (May 6, 2018) (Peruvian Naturals brand about mid May 2018), OMG Moringa Leaf Powder about mid May 2018 (purchased at HomeGoods) & NutraChamps Rhodiola about mid May 2018 both of us have noticed a definite improvement in his ability to handle the stressors in our lives. Several times he has even commented to me that he recognizes how much better he is able to handle certain things that once stressed him out. To me, it’s as if he can see & think more clearly now. To those who might be wondering how any of the adaptogens are working for me: It’s a work in progress. After taking Ashwagandha, Maca Powder & Moringa Leaf Powder (not necessarily all at once) I experienced odd heart rhythms, and skin itching. Since I wasn't sure what created such un-welcomed effects I decided to stop those and anything else that I thought could be the cause. I am doing some other things, which I hope will be just as effective for me. However, I have not ruled out the adaptogens & might revisit one or more of them in the future.

Been buying these for a long time. Love the he quality. I definitely notice a feeling of relaxation with taking this Ashwaganda. it’s great because it includes black pepper for better absorption. Has no taste. Good price. I’ve had zero side effects and some pretty noticeable benefits. I do feel a subtle shift—less racing thoughts, better focus, and I wasn’t as irritable in high-stress situations (I volunteer at my son’s school, so that’s saying something). By week three, it became clear this wasn’t placebo. I was more patient, more clear-headed, and even my sleep improved. I was not paid for this review, nor did I receive any free product. This is just my honest experience. I’ve tried other supplements before with little success, but this one will likely stay in my routine. I plan to cycle off after 4-6 weeks, as others have suggested, just to give my body a break. Tip: Always check with your doctor, especially if you’re taking meds or have underlying conditions. That said, if you’re considering trying this, I’d say it’s worth a shot. Good for people with Hashimoto's or peri-menopause. Hope this honest review helps.

I will try to be brief. Bought this product several years ago to help with my wife's inflamed hands and feet. It didn't work. So I put it in our cool pantry. During my annual physical (I'm 65 take no meds and in good health), I told my integrative MD I was so tired. Bloodwork showed low testosterone. He asked if I heard of Ashwagandha? I had and remembered the bottle in the pantry. Take some on empty stomach. OK. Well, last couple months we've been traveling about 200 miles round trip for my wife's appointments. I get real drowsy and have to stop and walk around, drink coffee, etc. So last week, I remembered my MD about the herb. While on the road about an hour, I took one 1300mg on empty stomach. Nothing happened, except I felt "good". I was not sleepy driving. Huh! Ok. Every time we drove, I did the same thing, and I did not get sleepy, and I felt "good". Then yesterday was a real test. Super busy during the weekend. Got up early as 5:30AM as usual. Ate some mixed nuts, 2 raw figs, and a cup of coffee. Normal. Huge amount of chores garden/chickens/fish/ etc. Forgot my wife had appointment. Quick, jump in car at 1:15 PM and drive 2 hrs. I had no lunch and a bit hungry but popped the Ashwagandha. Dropped wife off at 3:15 and I had to wait in car (Cov-9 stuff, not allowed in). She came out at 5:15 super long. Then we drove to a warehouse store. Now I personally have been sitting in the car for 4.5 hrs, straight. Normally when I get out after 2 hrs I am stiff and have a hard time standing upright for a couple minutes. Right away I noticed I was not only NOT stiff, but I seemed like I had a "lube job". It was super easy! And then again, I felt "good". I say that because I seemed to be very alert, aware of my surroundings, but not hyped up or jittery. I just felt really good! Then I noticed I was not hungry. And I didn't have the urge to pee. The only thing different was that little herb my MD recommended. Not only was I not sleepy while driving, but I was not stiff, I was alert but calm, and just felt really good!! So, I am going to continue taking this herb and on this site to order couple more bottles. This is one of those herbs that quietly makes you feel so much better in many ways. I love it!! I can't wait to see my MD again. Isn't that weird!!

Haven’t noticed any negatives…but haven’t noticed any positives either. Ashwagandha might be a one-time purchase for me. The order fulfillment process was easy and efficient.

I'm 23 and suffer from very bad anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and low energy. I also have chronic pain and my health condition contributes to these symptoms I suffer from, and it makes them even worse. I tried so many different supplements from Valerian Root, 5-HTP, St. John Wart, Passion Flower, etc., to combat my anxiety and depression, but nothing helped at all. When I came across NutriRise's Ashwagandha supplement, and saw all the wonderful reviews it got, I had to try it. I ordered a bottle of 120 capsules and I've been taking it for about 6 days now. I already notice a HUGE improvement! I feel a lot calmer, my mind and thought process is clearer, I feel more motivated, inspired, and I have a healthy feeling of energy when I wake up in the morning. It also helps me sleep better! And I've only been taking it less than a week! So I can't imagine what the full effects are going to do to improve my overall mental and emotional wellbeing. I was very skeptical at first about this product, since all others failed to help me in the past, but THIS herb has quality and effectiveness to it. I take two capsules every morning with my orange juice and I overall feel much more stabilized, relaxed, calm, energetic, and motivated. It also doesn't give me any side effects or makes me sleepy. I intend to use this every single day and purchasing another bottle as soon as I'm out! Overall I HIGHLY recommend Ashwagandha to anyone who suffers from anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain, stress, insomnia, cognitive, and nootropic symptoms. I especially recommend NutriRise brand. It's very high quality and the capsules are very easy to swallow and digest. FIVE stars!
