5.0 out of 5 stars Use with Caution! Be aware of your intentions and goals when using this product

This is my first review ever on Bolo and I decided to write it because I truly believed this product helped me dealing with a no-good period of my life. I wanted to make sure I've taken it throughout a few months before really assessing or writing about it's benefits, this review is from 3 months usage.I first bought this product to help with stress, lack of motivation and overall mood. Also read at the time that it was supposed to give you a edge at the gym (more muscle mass, less fat, huge claims I know..)I took it for two months straight, did a small break, and took again for a month before I discontinued its usage with nearly 30 capsules left. Here's what I found out during this period: Stress: I really believe that Ashwagandha played a role here dealing with the stress. I was going through a not so good moment in life and this gave me that edge of feeling calmer and overall in a good mood. And I started being able to handle things better, stressful events appeared not so stressful anymore. Energy: Regarding Energy I can't really say it gave me that boost of energy. I consider myself an active person, I workout early, sleep and eat well pretty much daily. However, placebo effects aside, one thing I noticed was my procastination being reduced. That probably had to do with the fact of being calmer and overall in a good mood, hence the possibility to accomplish more and have that drive to keep things in perspective and running as they should. Keep in mind that I'm a highly aware person. Muscle Mass/Reduced Fat: I can't really say that Ashwagandha was solemny responsible for this,that would be an unrealistic huge claim. But since I was able to sleep better, being more focus and aware and not procastinate much I was certainly accomplishing more in the workouts and felt less fatigued physically and psychologically. Libido: Now here's the catch. After two months of usage I took a break of a week and started noticing some things not happening quite often "down there", so I started digging and found some studies and/or side effects of Ashwagandha issue related. During the break period I became more irritated ,stressed (gained some acne) and it's when I realised the stressful things I actually was dealing with. The effects would subside of course as I would readapt, however the potency down there took a while to recover.I took again for nearly a month before realising that Ashwagandha was like channeling everything to my head and keeping other things at bay ( morning wood, libido, sex drive) , since I was calmer and in a good mood some things wouldn't bother me much and would have great control over some urges. Keep in mind that somehow this adaptogens will point your body towards balace, so, huge drives/urges will appear less often. I decided to discontinue its usage with nearly 30 capsules left. The side effects were recoverable after a while, and once you get past the feeling of something missing when you suddendly stop its all good. Conclusion : I would recommend Ashwagandha to anyone who is dealing with a lot of stress, lack of motivation and a lot of excuses and procastination and needs that little edge/drive to get things done and keeping everything in perspective. But keep in mind that while you're highly aware and balanced, some urges and desires might be slipping or fading away...Final thoughts:I was on a regimen of 1 capsule a day - morning.I will probably still take it on and off just to finish the capsules and lead with more stressful periods. And I might order in the future the 11% Whitanolides from this company to give it a go also,Take care,

After about 2 weeks I wasn't getting bothered by things that normally get on my nerves and my mood is better. I'd say ashwagandha works in the background I'm definitely not as stressed any more where as before little things that pop up unexpected would really wind me up so I'm going to carry on taking these. Dose I'm taking 4 capsules spread out through the day. Also time health for me are the best supplements on the market zero fillers and exceptional quality products at a decent price 👌

After struggling physically and mentally following 2 years of on/off very heavy steroid (pred) courses my adrenals have been ruined. I cannot find the words to describe how much of a struggle it has been trying to recover from my latest taper a month ago.After some research I found ashwagandha was recommended for weakened adrenals, and this brand looked the best quality to me. I took my first dose before bed and that night I had the best nights sleep in ages. I take them throughout the day too, it has made an unbelievable difference to my mood, lifted my spirits, given me more energy and drive. The steroids have left me feel like I was drowning mentally, and physically like I was 100 - not 30 - with extremely dodgy blood sugar who would start tembling at the first sign of any kind of minor stress. I now feel like I've 'woken up', I have a spring in my step for the first time in 2 years, my blood sugar is better, my ability to handle stress is getting back to normal, I feel like I have 'fuel in the tank'. I cannot believe the difference in just a week, I hope these will continue to repair my body after longer term use.I'm sure these tablets aren't the 'miracle cure' for everyone but I know without question these are giving me my life back. I am glad I spent extra on this brand, an inferior product may not have had such a strong effect on me, but that is purely my speculation, I like the fact they state the percentages of the withanolides etc too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best version of this amazing healing supplement

I received my Ashwagandha, and as I've stated before, this supplement is most definitely a must have for anxiety sufferers. In comparison to addictive anti anxiety medications that you will most certainly get a taste for, even a little bit, because they are effective at stemming anxiety, Ashwaganda is far superior in the long run, with sometimes equal effectiveness, maybe a little less so pronounced effects but it's great knowing that this supplement can be taken a daily supplement using the traditional Ayurvedic medicine therapies that have been very effective in their originating countries, and used for decades without having to worry about the same kinds of negative side effects. Ashwaghanda has been proven quite safe even at high doses, so, you just have to ask yourself which would you rather put in your body for the long run. I have battled anxiety disorders for half my life now. The medications work but they all have side effects, even if you aren't getting them now, they are still poisons, and I've only found that you need to stay on them in order to get the benefit, at least in my case anyway. Now I'm trying to cut back on the meds and introducing all natural treatments and you should too. Ashwaganda is great, this product in particular is really one of the best versions, with the full spectrum of the plant going into this version at 10% Withanolides. I got the 5% before but quickly found I needed about 10 to combat my chronic stress symptoms. Do your research on this supplement and use it wisely. I haven't received any negative side effects apart from some digestion/ stomach/toilet problems. These have subsided over the few days of sticking on it, and as my body has got used to it. This version is the best for your money and I will most certainly return!
