Score 30.0

A multi-ingredient blend with a minimal, ineffective dose of unstandardized ashwagandha, offering poor value for targeted ashwagandha benefits.

Analysis

This product is a complex blend featuring Maca, Flaxseed Oil, and other ingredients, with Ashwagandha included as a minor component at only 100mg of unstandardized powder per serving. This dosage is far below what is typically considered effective for any significant adaptogenic or therapeutic benefits from ashwagandha. While it includes BioPerine for absorption, its impact on such a low dose of ashwagandha is minimal. This product is not designed for targeted ashwagandha support and represents poor value if that is the primary goal, serving more as a general wellness or 'male enhancement' blend.

Pros
  • Contains a wide variety of herbs and oils for general wellness.
  • Includes BioPerine Complex, which can enhance absorption of some ingredients.
Cons
  • Very low and unstandardized Ashwagandha dose, rendering it largely ineffective for specific Ashwagandha benefits.
  • Extremely high price per serving, especially considering the low active ashwagandha content.
  • Primary focus is not Ashwagandha, making it unsuitable for targeted use.
Warnings
  • Not suitable for individuals specifically seeking therapeutic doses of Ashwagandha.
  • The effectiveness of multiple ingredients at these dosages is questionable without specific research.

Categories
Ashwagandha 30.0
This product is a poor fit for the Ashwagandha collection due to its minimal, unstandardized ashwagandha content, which is overshadowed by other ingredients and makes it ineffective as a dedicated ashwagandha supplement.
Goals
Stress Relief 30.0
The ashwagandha content is too low and unstandardized to provide any meaningful or consistent stress relief, as its contribution is diluted within a complex formula focused elsewhere.
Energy 30.0
With a negligible dose of ashwagandha, this product cannot reliably support energy levels; any potential energy benefits would likely come from other components, not primarily ashwagandha.
Mood Support 30.0
The minimal and unstandardized ashwagandha dose means it's unlikely to offer any significant or consistent mood support, making it ineffective for this specific goal.
