NOW Foods Ashwagandha 450 mg Veg Capsules review

NOW Foods comes second on value. Its Ashwagandha 450 mg capsule holds 450mg of root and leaf extract standardized to at least 2.4% total withanolides, and that standardization is printed right on the supplement facts. The 30 capsule bottle costs $9.99, the cheapest way to try ashwagandha on this list, and the 90 count costs $19.99, or about $0.22 a capsule, the same daily cost as our top pick. NOW lists the capsules as vegan, halal, kosher, gluten free and non-GMO, and says they are made and quality tested in the USA in a GMP facility. A 180 count is $34.99, and a 120 count is sold in stores only. The extract is not a branded one, so buyers who want the extract used in a specific clinical study should pick KSM-66 or Sensoril instead. NOW also sells a KSM-66 capsule at $32.99 for 90 if you want that extract from the same brand.
