KSM-66 Ashwagandha Root Extract

I received this Ashwaghanda supplement for free in exchange for my honest review.

So I got this product for my husband because it was being marketed as a stress relief product when I requested to sample it, but on the manufacturers site it is marketed as a weight loss drug. There is no safety information on the product such as side effects (manufacturer claim there are none) or contraindicated medications and conditions. Here are a few contraindications to ashwaghanda: pregnancy, breast feeding, diabetes, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, stomach ulcers, autoimmune disorders, and thyroid disorders. It is also not safe to use prior to surgery. It does have some potential uses including decreasing anxiety, lowering cholesterol, improving of impulse control for children with ADHD, improving sperm quality in infertile men,improving arthritis symptoms, and improving Parkinson's symptoms. However, there is not anywhere near enough scientific data to back up any of the supposed benefits the manufacturer claims this product has. I would strongly recommend against this product because it is unproven and because the manufacturer utilizes predatory practices in trying to peddle this product. Buyer beware!
