Consumerlabs Ashwagandha Testing Results

Original post in this thread

I actually just wrote most of this in a comment on /r/Nootropics, but I figured I would make a post here for everyone. We have been getting a lot of emails about this, so I wanted to address it.

Consumerlabs recently released a report of a bunch of ashwagandha products on the market. They did not test any of our products. However, they did test Life Extension and Jarrow, which use KSM-66 and Sensoril. Those failed for withanolides, which caused some of our customers to be concerned about those extracts. Before I start, I want to stress that both of these extracts have human clinical research behind their effectiveness. They have multiple studies in humans that show improvements. So this is absolutely not a case of fake or low quality product. Anyone that has used these extracts knows they work. They are some of our most popular patented natural extracts. It's not some mass placebo happening here. They actually do work, and there is research showing that. So I want everyone to know that before we get into the science. I won't comment on whether other brands are using different ashwa…

Hey one more question..I bought my brother a bottle of your Synapsa the other day..does it matter what time he takes it? Since it takes months to work I assume it must not make much difference.

I was thinking this because he takes adderall in the morning and I don't want to have any kind of negative interactions between the two so maybe he could take the synapsa at night

Most people take bacopa later in the day, because it can make you a bit tired. Synapsa less so than Bacognize, but I still usually take it in the evening.

Cognance final review - much ado about nothing !

Replying to aWildShanzAppears · It's actually really interesting. I've been a lurker on the main nootropics sub for 6+ years, and (I suspect you remember, too) for a long time there wasn't a whole lot of talk abo

Right? There has been a clear shift. I am all for people relaying their personal experiences, good or bad. That's the whole point of the nootropics community. However, lately it seems more like a team sport. People pick

Possible to get an update on the referenced in conjunction with stimulants stack?

Consumerlab report on Chocamine

Replying to Mojowhale · thank you for your answer! appreciated

No problem! Why ConsumerLab decided to test our product for something it is not even standardized to, then not test everyone else for the stuff we are standardized to, is beyond me. Why not test everyone for theobromine

ND Bacopa is the only thing I've found on the same level as Ashwagandha when it comes to promoting relaxation and reducing stress.

Are 2% tongkat and 10% the same, besides the dose?

They use the same raw material as a starting place, and both use the same solvents in the extraction. However, whenever you alter the extraction to concentrate more of one thing, you inevitably will alter the effects som
