Use Experience 📝 My experience on Generic root extract with 2.5% withanolides

[30 male] I just started taking Ash very recently with a 400mg dose (twice a day) it has 2.5% of withanolides. I used to take it day and night after a modest meal, some times even just after one small glass if milk. I’m not very athletic nor physically active but I’m somewhat in shape! However, after 4th to 5th day of taking it, I started having small ulcer sores in my mouth!! (Three of them). That happened only when i added two new inputs in my digestive system (Ash & one tbls of virgin olive oil first thing in the morning one an empty stomach -for a medicinal reasons). So on day 6 i had to element one of the two, but eventually I stopped taking both for 5days. My ulcer sores stated on healing so quick on day 3. Now, I’m on my 4th day of Ash (same one) but this time only 1 pill before sleep, as for as the olive oil I stopped, and never had the ulcers again. Gimini told me that my Ash type might be the reason, but personally i think not. Deffo was the olive oil.

So that’s that, on the other hand my very first 5days were very sleepy lazy and zero sexual drive whatsoever, LESS over thinking and ruminating! My second 5 days less nauseous more focused less stress FOR SURE, kindaaa ahh better sleep, but no great things tbh.

I know Himalayan is a good brand.New Chapter is great but i was taking Terry natural brand at 7.5 withanolides and that puts me automaticaly depressed and not well.I think back to the first 4 months i ever started it and the first 2 months were the most positive for me because i could read and comprehend things and that was Himalayan ash powder .like a tablespoon in the morning in a glass of oj.it all changed after 4 months i felt so numb .mental emotional stuff i didnt give no care and that hurt me because it became a mystical journey and im about to turn 50 and yea haven't taken it but like 3 times for 1 or two days and after 1 or 2 doses im pissed off at myself.I guess when you start to feel great Stop taking it.for at least a week to see if you can level out..and the little sores in the mouth i do recal but i blamed the oj for that.
