Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, is an herb with a long history of medicinal use. Ashwagandha has been utilized for thousands of years. This herb continues to be relevant, and has become a subject of many studies due to its purported health benefits. (Trusted Sources 1,3)

The popularity of ashwagandha has led to hundreds of brands flooding the marketplace; however not all supplements are created equal! Our research examines a number of different factors:

  • Essential Ingredients
  • Label Accuracy
  • Potential Results
  • Product Safety
  • Consumer Reviews & Feedback
  • Refund & Return Policy
Has your brand been third-party tested?
You should never buy supplements that don’t have Certificate of Analysis. The studies should be conducted in labs that are not affiliated with the manufacturer. These labs verify the product for safety and potency.
 
Does your supplement contain cheap synthetic fillers?
Some brands add artificial fillers to cut cost to offer cheap products. Some of these cheap fillers we found were additives and artificial coloring. You should never purchase cheap products when it comes to supplements.
 
No return policy or customer service
A reputable supplement company will offer 100% money-back guarantee policy and provide customer support through phone number and email. We noticed many formulas out there are just copies of the top-rated brands. They don’t offer an easy refund policy or don’t even have a phone number to prove they are real.
 
Avoid Subscription Auto-Billing Offers –  unfortunately many brands use this trick to charge your card without your authorization, even if a customer returns the product. One trick is they charge your card even 6 months after you made your initial purchases, which most people forgot about it. If you’re happy with the service, then it’s best to make another purchase in the future.

The result:  we reviewed 127+ supplements in the market and compiled a list of our top 5 formulas based on their ingredients, label accuracy, pricing, return policy, and overall customer satisfaction.*
