Thank you.~~ We PROMISE what we write WILL BE our COMPLETELY HONEST personal opinion ~~~~ & will be as detailed as possible, because NONE OF US HAVE MONEY TO WASTE.~Hubby has taken Ashwagandha for around 9 years now. Mainly just on the days before, he has a Quick ‘TurnAround’ Shift change the next day, so he can start to unwind, relax & drop off to sleep that little bit quicker. And also feels he gets a better nights sleep, so he does not wake up feeling as though ‘the clocks have sprung forward an hour’ every few days!== We each need to check with our GP, SPECIALIST or PHARMACY to ensure what is safe for us to take ==++ * STRONG PLASTIC TUB.++* VERY CLEAR LABELLING.

STILL TRYING. (I’m coming back as a man… as they have far less changes for their bodies to constantly deal with, from age 10 until post memo!) WE REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE OUT THERE.

“At 27p per capsule these are not cheap. There are quite a few others a under 10p a capsule. As to what the difference is between these are do not really know. I’m not convinced it is because the addition of Black Pepper as that is available everywhere i.e. everyone has black pepper at home.Some have added turmeric as well. Which again should be in most people’s kitchens and possibly diets.Other than that they are normal capsule size and hence easy to swallow with no real aftertaste - The capsules are about 6.5mm diameter and 19-20mm longSo, as such it is hard to justify any price over the basic capsules with similar strengths.As such I have taken these supplements for several weeks now and it is difficult at the moment to be sure if I have had a positive response to them or not. However, the science says there is a benefit taking Ashwagandha as a supplement. Maybe it takes several months for some people to see a notable change.”

“This Ashwagandha supplement of 60 off 1000 mg Capsules with Black Pepper (a 2-month supply) by Vegan Vitality came in a totally opaque bottle which protects the contents. The lot number and best-before date are printed on the top of the cap which gives greater assurance of accuracy than a stick-on label. The bottle also has a seal under the cap. In my case, the capsules would expire in 32 months, an ample period for their use. It also has no artificial additives.Having been amazed at the wide-ranging effects of Ashwagandha, as experienced for thousands of years by Ayurvedic practitioners, I have tried a few Ashwagandha capsules and have noticed a consistent improvement in the stability of my energy levels although the effect on my sleep varies.So, I was interested to try this Vegan Vitality supplement since it includes black pepper. I was aware that black pepper vastly increases the absorption of turmeric which is otherwise poorly absorbed but was unaware that black pepper could be used to increase the absorption of Ashwagandha. So, I researched the matter. It turns out that black pepper has been known in Ayurvedic medicine to increase the absorption of Ashwagandha in the bloodstream. It does this by inhibiting certain “metabolising enzymes” in the liver and thus allows more Ashwagandha into the bloodstream. In fact, black pepper has been used to increase the absorption of many herbs. Vegan Vitality have added bioperine which is a black pepper extract containing about 95% of peperine, the active compound of black pepper. Note that black pepper itself has many positive effects including anti-inflammation and anti-bacterial amongst others. So, in my opinion, Vegan Vitality is to be commended for adding black pepper to enhance the effects of Ashwagandha.Not having taken this supplement for long, I cannot pronounce on its effectiveness yet but this does not concern me as supplements can take weeks and months to have an effect. However, I do know that black pepper and Ashwagandha in the proper doses are good separately and together.As these capsules are manufactured in the UK and thus comply with UK standards and are a 2-month supply at a reasonable price, I recommend them. 5 stars.”

“Easy to swallow, non-flavoured capsules, i take two a day as directed. The item arrived on time and in full. The bottle seems to be the right size for this number of capsules and is recycleable.”

“I am familiar with Ashwagandha's products. I have been using them repeatedly for many years and have proven very effective. This bottle comes with a two-month supply (60 capsules) and recommended one capsule per day. I like that the formula is vegan-friendly, so it's available for almost everyone. I have been taking them for over a week now. They help maintain my stress level without any side effects and help me sleep well.Overall, it works very well for me; it is reasonably cheap. I suggest adding a childproof lid to keep it safe from young children.”

“Easy to swallow with a brew, not so easy to swallow with cold liquids, helps boost my stamina, helps me feel less tired whilst working out. Still better to have natural ingredients. Doesn't taste of anything as I have not had any problems.”
