The 8 Best Ashwagandha Products
To assist with any stress, anxiety, tension stemming from COVID-19 (or Life in general), Night & Day Wellness has recommended our choice of 8 of the best Ashwagandha products below.
As mentioned in our previous post, Ashwagandha is another adaptogen we love - it has anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects. It notable decreases cortisol levels in the body, while also helps male organ fertility and female organ sexual function. After taking it daily, I’ve personally noticed how it also aids in energy and focus - attributing to the qualities hinted in the translation of its name that connects it with horse-like vitality.
Flavor-wise, Ashwagandha is earthy and bitter.
*Please note for ingested dosages - it’s advisable to start low to observe effects and gradually increase. Please listen to your body’s judgement and take at your discretion especially if you have certain medical conditions, are breastfeeding/pregnant.

The general dosage is 250-500mg.
Be sure to read if the Ashwagandha product mentions the level of withanolides - the active organic compound, a steroid, that acts like an antioxidant.
Ashwagandha is considered safe for most - if you are taking any medicines that affect hormones, blood sugar, blood pressure, are immunosuppressants, or sedatives, please consult your doctor.
Do NOT take if you are pregnant.
Always do your own research and listen to your body.
Here are our recommended products:
For POWDERS:
1) Sun Potion - @sunpotion | Wildcrafted Ashwandha Powder
Sun Potion carries, what I would say, is the most potent Ashwagandha I’ve tried.
I’ve tried other powders but this one is noticeably different in color - it Is a rich brown, as opposed to the sandy light brown color you may see with other powders
It states that it is cold-water extracted, so perhaps that attributes to the difference.
It has a 2.5% level of withanolides.
I notice within taking this daily for atleast a week, how much better my sense of focus, mental clarity, and level-headedness was.
