650mg organic ashwagandha (98%) with black pepper (2%). Important correction: this product is marketed as suitable for teens, but ashwagandha isn’t established as safe or appropriate for anxiety in minors — this needs a paediatric professional’s involvement, not self-directed supplementation. Also missing: a documented liver safety consideration and the thyroid caution established for this herb.

An Important Correction on Use in Teens, Plus Missing Safety Points

This capsule provides 650mg of organic ashwagandha root (98%) with organic black pepper (2%) to aid absorption.

It’s important to directly correct the framing of this product as “ideal anxiety relief for teens as well as adults”: ashwagandha is not established as safe or appropriate for anxiety in minors, and there is no reliable safety or efficacy data specific to adolescents to support this claim. Anxiety in teenagers is a genuine matter for a GP or paediatric mental health professional to assess — self-directing a herbal supplement for a minor’s anxiety, without that assessment, isn’t an appropriate substitute, however the supplement is marketed.

For adults, ashwagandha does have genuinely solid evidence for stress and cortisol regulation, and reasonable research for sleep quality. Two safety points worth adding that aren’t in this product’s description: a 2020 case series in Liver International documented 10 cases of ashwagandha-associated liver injury, and the NIH’s LiverTox database now rates its hepatotoxicity potential as “Probable” — appearing rare relative to how widely ashwagandha is used, but worth knowing, with unusual fatigue, yellowing skin or eyes, dark urine, or abdominal pain being reasons to stop use and see a GP promptly. Ashwagandha can also affect thyroid hormone levels, so anyone with a thyroid condition or taking thyroid medication needs a GP conversation before starting.

Black pepper (piperine) genuinely does improve absorption of various compounds, supporting its inclusion here.

Soil Association certified organic, no fillers, binders, or flowing agents, manufactured to GMP standards. Vegan and vegetarian. Not suitable for or marketed to under-18s without a healthcare professional’s direct involvement.
