Why Sensoril Ashwagandha has F on fakespot?

Fakespot has been reliable so far, does that mean something is wrong with this product or should I ignore the grade?
Should Sensoril be taken in AM, PM or before bed?

Because Fakespot is useless. Its algorithms are attempting to determine legitimacy from stupid metrics. Look at Bulk Supplements or The Genius Brand. 95% of all their reviews are paid for. That's how you get thousands of reviews. Anyone in the industry knows that. I can see our sales data, and see how many people organically review without getting compensated. It's like 1 in 1,000 that review organically. That might sound surprising, but it's the truth. So companies that don't pay for thousands of reviews result in what you see with us. 49 reviews for one product. 8 reviews for another product. 0 reviews for some products. That's what actually happens organically. If you see 14,000 reviews on a products, those are not organic. It's just the way it works. If you got 14,000 organic reviews on a product, that means you have sold MILLIONS of units of it. But I can also see sales data for these brands with thousands of reviews, and they have not sold millions of units. So those are compensated. You can try it yourself. Buy from any of the brands on Amazon with thousands of reviews, and see what comes in the mail. It will be cards telling you how to get free product for reviews. That's against Amazon's TOS, but they don't care. You know how many times I have reported these brands and shown Amazon evidence of violations of their terms of service? They don't care because a sale makes Amazon money, and they sell more with more reviews. So Amazon puts rules in place to say they try to stop fake/paid for reviews, but they actually don't do shit. They want brands to do these review programs against their TOS. They just want to keep the ruse up enough so that customers don't start realizing it's all bullshit.
Anyway, you can tell it upsets me. We operate honestly and openly, and we get fucked for it. C'est la vie. I've just accepted that we will never rank on Amazon like the others, because I refuse to break the rules like they do.
Regarding Sensoril, many people can get drowsy on it. So night is best for most.
