Physician's CHOICEKSM-66 Ashwagandha Root Powder Extract - Stress, Mood, & Athletic Support - 1000mg of Clinically Studied KSM66 & Black Pepper for Max Absorption - 5% Withanolide - 60 Vegan Capsule

I’ve been using this Ashwagandha on and off in cycles for a year now, and I can genuinely feel the difference. I’m noticeably calmer, less reactive to stress, and my mood has lifted overall. I’m also recovering faster after workouts, which was a nice surprise.I chose this brand because it uses KSM-66, and it lives up to the hype. No side effects, no weird aftertaste, and the black pepper definitely helps with absorption—I can tell it’s working and it doesn’t have a bunch of added ingredients and chemicals.Highly recommend if you’re feeling stressed out and have a hard time sleeping at night.

This is one of the best Ashwaganda Brands I've tried. Probably the only one I like to take. Fast Shipping.

A 1000mg serving of KSM-66® (5 % withanolides ≈ 50 mg) plus 15 mg black-pepper extract (≈ 14 mg piperine) delivers roughly double the dose that has the strongest human-trial support (300–600 mg/day). While that isn’t automatically unsafe—several studies and consumer products do use 800–1 250 mg—it pushes you into “more is not necessarily better” territory and, because of the pepper, increases the odds of drug interactions and side-effects. If you want to try it, start with half-doses (e.g., 500 mg KSM-66 + 7–8 mg pepper) for 2 weeks and review your meds with a clinician first.The formula is potent and conveniently dosed, but a bit aggressive relative to what the best-quality studies have actually used. That doesn’t make it “bad”—it just means you should treat it like a stronger intervention:Start low, monitor, and adjust.Mind the pepper if you take prescription meds. Pepper is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, CYP2C9, P-gp and other drug-metabolising pathways. That raises blood levels of whatever you take with it—including the withanolides but also prescription drugs such as:anticonvulsants/​mood stabilisers (carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine analogues)immunosuppressants (cyclosporine, tacrolimus)certain statins, calcium-channel blockers and many others.If you already use medications that need stable blood concentrations—or if you drink alcohol or use other herbs with CNS or hepatic effects—the pepper makes interactions more likely.600 mg/day without pepper remains the sweet spot for most evidence-backed benefits with the lowest risk profile.Doing that homework up front will let you find out whether the extra milligrams help you without trading away safety.

Great easy to take pill.

Love this brand works better than other bands I have tried.

I have noticed an improvement in my anxiety.

Lowers my glucose too much drops it under 50 I’m not a diabetic. I take NAD as well so maybe too much impact on my cortisol which lowers my glucose even though no symptoms of hypoglycemia enough to stop it.

I've been using this brand for over 3 years. It works! I use it for focusing on tasks, stress, cortisol and for unwinding in the evening. Helps me not give AF.
