Ashwagandha

Most customers notice a shift within 2–4 weeks. The full effect builds over 8–12 weeks. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen — it works by gently recalibrating your body's stress response over time, not by delivering a single noticeable hit. Here's what to expect: - Weeks 1–2: Sleep often improves first. Many customers report falling asleep more easily and waking up feeling more rested. - Weeks 3–6: Stress feels more manageable. The "wired but tired" pattern starts to ease. - Weeks 8–12: Focus, mood stability, and sustained calm are typically at their clearest. The organic black pepper in Glenari's formula helps your body absorb more of the ashwagandha with each dose, so you're not losing potency along the way. Consistency is the key — one capsule twice daily, every day.

Glenari Ashwagandha is well-tolerated by most healthy adults. Here's what you should know:

Mild effects some users notice early on:

- Slight drowsiness (more common in the first week — often resolves as your body adjusts)

- Mild digestive sensitivity if taken on an empty stomach — taking it before a meal, as directed, typically prevents this.

Who should consult a doctor first:

- Pregnant or nursing women (ashwagandha is not recommended during pregnancy)

- Anyone with a thyroid condition or taking thyroid medication

- Anyone on immunosuppressants, blood pressure medication, or sedatives

- Children under 18.

Glenari's formula uses only three ingredients — organic ashwagandha root, organic black pepper, and a pullulan (plant-based) capsule. No fillers, binders, or synthetic flow agents that are common hidden sources of GI discomfort in other brands. Every batch is third-party tested for heavy metals, microbiology, and identity. If you have any concerns, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.

Each Glenari capsule contains 650mg of organic Ashwagandha root (Withania somnifera) plus 5mg of organic Black Pepper (Piper nigrum). The suggested use is one capsule twice daily — totalling 1,300mg of ashwagandha per day, well within the range used in clinical research (250–600mg of standardized extract, or 600–1,300mg of whole root, daily).

Why the black pepper matters: 5mg of piperine from organic black pepper has been shown to significantly enhance the bioavailability of plant compounds — meaning your body absorbs more of the ashwagandha from each capsule, making every mg work harder than it would without it. Our capsule is pullulan — made from fermented tapioca, 100% plant-based, and free from the chemical flow agents (like magnesium stearate) found in many competitor capsules.

Ashwagandha is generally safe for most women. However, it is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. For non-pregnant women, ashwagandha's adaptogenic effect on cortisol is particularly relevant: elevated cortisol from chronic stress disrupts sleep, energy, focus, and hormonal rhythms. Supporting the body's stress response with ashwagandha can have a positive downstream effect on overall wellbeing for women at any life stage.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding: Ashwagandha is traditionally contraindicated during pregnancy due to its potential to stimulate uterine contractions. We recommend avoiding it during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and consulting your OB or midwife if you have any questions.

Thyroid conditions: Ashwagandha may influence thyroid hormone levels. If you have a thyroid condition or are taking thyroid medication, please consult your doctor before use. Every Glenari capsule is third-party tested (NSF/ANSI 455-2 certified manufacturing) — so you can be confident in exactly what you're putting in your body.
