I did a lot of research on the benefits of ashwagandha, and ordered specifically for the anxiety relief. I was not disappointed, they do help with stress and anxiety. I'm still taking them at night till my body gets used to them, then I will begin taking them during the day. I found an added bonus of falling asleep easier and and getting better quality sleep.
I love this stuff. In the last few years I've had significant depression coupled with anxiety. My fuse has been very short and I am extremely bitchy when I am alone - order soon again!
