I don’t react well to most herbs and natural anti anxiety tinctures and I stay away from prescription drugs so didn’t have high hopes for ashwaganda. I suffer from stomach issues and can’t take pills or tablets so gummies are something I was willing to try. And I am glad I did. I was surprised to discover how gently but effectively this product calms the body. The internal trembling and uneasiness subside, the racing heart slows down. It doesn’t make me sleepy or sluggish, it doesn’t mess with my thinking and what’s great it doesn’t produce any side effects, even on my stomach.
