As someone who has suffered with anxiety and panic attacks for over 15 years, I cannot thank this company enough for making such an amazing product! Within two weeks, I went from having daily anxiety, the shakes, racing heart and weekly panic attacks .... to be calm and relaxed for the first time in YEARS. I finished my first bottle and have to say, the Ashwagandha has been more effective in treating my anxiety than any prescription the doctors have ever given me. There are no side effects, no down sides, nothing except feeling calm and normal and like my old self. THANK YOU!! I will also add, as I finished my first bottle, I noticed I was down to my last few pills and needed to re-order. The Havasu Brand I love had an expected ship time of 7-10 days. I ordered it anyway because I know it works. But because I needed a new bottle sooner, I ordered another brand at a higher price, and paid the extra shipping $ to have it delivered in two days. Well, the other brand is still not here. It has been 4 days now. But I came home tonight to find the Havasu in my mailbox and was immediately thrilled! I plan on taking two of these, relaxing for the night, and never running out again. Hands down the best, most effective supplement I have ever taken. Read more

Only been taking this a couple weeks so I don't know if it's making a difference yet but I do know that it has not caused me any stomach upset at all... no changes in bowels... so it appears that all is well. I will update if I get any adverse reactions. UPDATED: 8/31... been taking this since 6/21. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.... I will say this is a "side effect" because this wasn't my intended reason for purchase. I actually bought this because I'm trying to prepare my body for pregnancy and detoxing my liver so I'm not going through withdrawals after conception. I finally stopped drinking all alcohol completely (today is 34 days), no soda (90 days), drastically cut down my caffeine consumption to only 2 cups of regular drip coffee a day. BUT MY LIBIDO IS ON FIRE. So much so that it has actually interfered with my daily activity a few times making it impossible to concentrate until I get that 'stress release.' I've always been pretty hyped in the bedroom but never to the point of disrupting my concentration. It could be a combination of the things I mentioned above, just getting clean and letting my body go back to natural without stimulants but after reading some of the feedback on this supplement, it makes me think that this definitely had something to do with it as well. I'm also taking a 100mg 5-HTP supplement daily but I've been taking that for years. This is the only supplement I've added in the last 60 days. In 8 weeks, I've also lost 6 pounds (I think mostly from the alcohol calories deficit) and I do FEEL much better. I just bought my second bottle and signed up for auto-delivery. I'd say if you are really serious about quitting the drinking for a while and want to give your liver a little extra support that this would be a great supplement to try with a healthy, balanced diet. My results may not be typical but so far I'm happy with it. Read more

This is actually the first time for me to buy this product and I can actually say that I notice it's working after 3 weeks of use. When it started working I wasn't really paying attention much because I just felt like myself with less stress and less anxiety. It's a completely natural feeling unlike taking medication that makes you feel calm but tired or drugged up. You just feel like yourself minus any negative feelings you may have experienced before you started taking the supplement. After about two weeks of taking Ashwagandha I felt myself being more relaxed at work and able to focus better on my work. I feel calm and mellow more than what I used too and in an overall good mood. I am not a morning person but find myself feeling peppier in the mornings. Driving to work every morning started to change as well. I typically would feel tense in morning traffic and unable to have a relaxing drive to work (which who is able to relax in traffic or around crazy drivers?), but I started to notice that I was less tense and more relaxed. The tense feeling from driving in morning traffic hasn't completely gone away but it has been reduced a lot and I'll take that any day over having anxiety and palpitations while driving. I will say that for the most part I'm in a good mood and I have more energy than what I used too sense I've been taking this supplement. I believe since I've just started taking it that I need to give it a little more time to make me feel even better than what it does now. I take two capsules every morning with a glass of water. If I miss 2-3 days of taking it I notice that my anxiety and shortness of breath from feeling tense starts to slowly come back. I gave the product 4 stars because I ALMOST feel completely stress free. I recommend this product to anyone who is going through a high level of stress and anxiety! It's very much so worth trying!

I've tried well over 30 different natural products, not to mention over 15 pharmaceutical medications for my anxiety. I've been under an abnormal amount of stress lately and having severe anxiety even with taking my daily medication of escitalopram. I went to Amazon and ran similar products through a review rater that looks for fake reviews. Most of them scored an F for failure, which means the product is probably not the best. I bought this product because it scored a B. After about a week of taking it, I started to feel more relaxed, less agitated, and most importantly, less anxious. I was able to return to myself and start doing my daily tasks again without feeling exhausted from the amount of additional stress I was pressured with. Side note: I am classified as a chronic pain patient, specifically abdominal pain after a surgery last year. I've read that this supplement acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and it seems to have that effect on me. I was taking ibuprofen daily on top of tramadol, but since taking this product, I haven't needed any ibuprofen. After my long search after many years on Amazon, I have a found a natural product that works for anxiety. I am a stem major, so I am very wary of natural remedies to begin with, but I'm happy to say that I will be ordering more of this product. Read more

I have a high-stress job. Over the past 18 months, my blood pressure has soared from a healthy average of 102/60, to an unhealthy average of 145 - 150 /100, due to work, and my stress and anxiety levels have increased right along with it. Over the past six months or so, I've tried three different prescription anxiety medications, to no avail...all three had awful side effects and made me even more miserable. For the past year, I've had anxiety levels so high, that I can't even handle things like going to church, meetings, or school concerts. I've dealt with anxiety attacks that make my chest feel like it's being crushed by a giant fist, and that make my muscles in my shoulders and upper back tense to the point that I can't move. A few weeks ago, I randomly searched, "stress relief" on Amazon, with the intention of finding a book about managing stress. Ashwagandha came up at the top of the list of search results. I read the product description and the reviews and thought, "I doubt it'll work, but it can't hurt to try..." and it was only $15 - what did I have to lose? I'm glad I did! After a couple of weeks, my stress level has decreased noticeably, which is especially interesting because it's the busiest time of year at my job...I work an average of 80 hours per week from August until the end of December. It hasn't inhibited my ability to work, sleep, parent, or drive, either. I KNOW that this isn't a placebo effect, because 1.) I didn't really believe it would work in the first place; 2.) my prescription of Xanax wasn't this effective, (and Xanax made me tired as heck, as an added "bonus" to contend with...it didn't really help with anxiety, it just put me to sleep, so that I didn't stay up all night, worrying about work). 3.) It's the most stressful time of year at my job, and I feel pretty okay with it...better than I've felt in more than a year. Now, I still have flare-ups, but they are short-lived, and not as intense. For example, when I feel the familiar feeling of stress and anxiety welling up in my chest (if you're looking at this product to alleviate anxiety, you probably know the feeling!), it feels like it's "tamped down" almost immediately. My mind is able to recognize that the feeling of stress/anxiety isn't valid for the situation, and that small things that used to be stressors aren't really that big of a deal, any more. Before I began taking this, small things that happened throughout the day would pile on top of each other and the ever-present feeling of dread that I felt for everyday things like going to work, deadlines at work, dealing with people at work, etc., essentially creating a "perfect storm" for anxiety-related health problems. How does it work? Being a skeptic by nature and profession, I wondered that, too. Here's the summary: It not only lowers cortisol levels, it levels out a lot of other stress responses, too. In short, "Ashwagandha is an adaptogen. This means that it has properties that combat the physical and chemical effects of stress in the human body." Like anything, it takes time to work...you have to give it one to three weeks to take effect, although, from what I've read, some people experience benefits sooner. Give it a whirl... UPDATE: I've been taking this for a few months now (since the beginning of August), and this stuff has completely changed my life. Not only has it helped change the way I react to stress, it has also helped with my depression and anxiety, as well. I feel like myself again. A few months ago, by the middle of the week (I usually clock between 35-50 hours, at work, by Wednesday evening), I'd reach for a bottle of tequila and make myself a couple of margaritas to chase off the stress of my job. Not any more. I don't even feel the need to do that at all. I'm sleeping better, too. I used to lay awake at night, stressing out about deadlines and worrying about whether or not I had everything in order at the office to meet work demands the next day. Not any more. I'm asleep within 15 minutes of laying down for the night. I didn't believe ashwagandha would work. After all, I had tried several different prescription meds to help with anxiety, stress and depression and nothing worked (in fact, some of them made it a lot worse), so why would an herbal supplement help? Well, it did. I feel like "me" again. Even my friends and family members have noticed the difference. It's the busiest time of year at my work, and instead of stressing out about it, I feel like I'm in control of the situation and able to plan accordingly to handle it successfully. This supplement is legit, and it may have very well saved my life. Please don't pass this up if you're suffering from anxiety, stress or depression. Update 2: I just had a doctor's appointment today. My blood pressure (for the first time in more than a year) was a healthy 120/80. Still not my normal 106/60, but MUCH better than it's been. Update #3 - I went for a month without taking this, due to a shipping delay with a carrier facility (which was very kindly well-handled by Havasu Nutrition, you seriously can't go wrong with ordering from these guys - they care about their customers) and a busy work schedule. I just sort of forgot to take it. It wasn't good. My blood pressure soared again, and the chest-clenching feelings of stress and anxiety returned in full force. After about two weeks of taking it regularly again, all was back to normal. My blood pressure was regulated once again and I found myself relatively unstressed and not anxious, despite numerous serious problems at work that would normally have caused me a lot of stress, anxiety, and sleepless nights. Update #4: Blood pressure is down to 115/60. Woot! My daughter (13 years old) started taking this to help her sleep. Within six weeks, we've noticed a huge difference in her attitude/mood (she actually smiles, laughs, and talks). She's sleeping through the night, she feels less stressed at school (she would often come home in tears, but hasn't for a couple of weeks) her mood is a lot brighter, and, most importantly, she's feeling like herself again. :) In response to a review that claimed the five-star reviews were fake and/or paid reviews, and was “voted helpful” by dozens of people, I would just like to take a moment to say that I am a real person. Unless, of course, my whole life, up to this point has been a lie or some twisted version of VR, and I’m just another glitch in the Matrix. I’m 98.8% certain, however, that that isn’t the case. :).
