    I just started using Ashwaganda and it's been a life saver for me. I had serious anxiety and it helped me to calm down.

    Thanks for the concise video. Personally I have used Ashwagandha for years-everyday for a while, then cycled and then intuitively, as and when required. For Ashwagandha to be effective for me, it has to be a minimum of 5% Withanolides and I am not saying it has to be KSM-66, just a minimum of 5% active compounds-but if anybody wants to take a form of Ashwagandha that has a minimum of 'anhedonia' potential, it's KSM-66. I've had that, Sensoril and Shoden many times, but lately, for me it's Shoden and a basic Ashwagandha extract at 5% Withanolides that are my preferences. Anhedonia, or the 'flattening out' of the ability to feel pleasure in everyday activities, is for some people an often experienced side-effect of Ashwagandha, which from personal experience, I remedied by combining my usual dose with a low dose of Rhodiola rosea extract, (200mg, standardised to 3% rosavins/1% salidrosides), before eventually cycling both of them off. Thanks once again, for an objective analysis of this herb.

    ​@@DrJinSungwell, for what it's worth, I love the content. Summarizing studies like this is great, especially from someone with clinical experience prescribing herbal medicine. Wikipedia is so useless for herbs because their policy doesn't allow primary sources (scholarly journals) for those articles. Sure, if you look up "withanolide" you'll get citations to the research articles, but who's going to do that? People will just look up "ashwagandha" on Wikipedia and get nothing. So it's good to provide summaries to laypeople of the research.
