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…

Speaking of Life Extension, is it your hunch that me sending my aunt to them for vitamin d3, k2, boron, and magnesium a decent choice? I like them for just the basics.
Obviously I told her about you guys as well, but right now she has to spend her limited money on getting her d, k, and boron and magnesium levels up first, as well as the other micro nutrient minerals as well. So I figured L.E. would be a good jumping off point, before steering her toward plant sterols, sensoril, pomella, cordyceps, and other thongs I mainly trust you guys with.

Yeah, LEF and Jarrow are who I usually use for D3 and K2. They should be fine for boron as well. For magnesium I use our stuff, though. We have three different magnesiums to choose from. We will likely do a D3/K2 at some point, but it is hard to compete on price with that one.
