Does the marketing hold up?
Ingredient amounts are hidden inside “Ashwagandha Broad-Spectrum Complex”. The panel lists “Ashwagandha Broad-Spectrum Complex” (500 mg) as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 500 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Ashwagandha Broad-Spectrum Complex at 500 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

Reviews rose from 64 to 90 between July 21, 2025 and July 31, 2026 — no sudden jump.
A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.
Evidence and sources
Written reviews rose from 64 to 90 between July 21, 2025 and July 31, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 14, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

Background reading
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 500 mg of ashwagandha per serving. Studies we found used 250 mg–600 mg a day, so this sits inside that range.
0studied 250 mg–600 mg
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
