I’m very eager to find new substances/food/whatever that can improve my performance on the things I try to achieve, but I stopped reading a bit after you said it had the ability to “improve overall health.”
I’m not being strident, I just think it’s a good policy for readers to report on where they lose interest in a post, because it seems informative, and I’d personally like readers to do that with my posts.
I already had somewhat low-interest after the abstract, since I’m looking to increase my concentration & deal with depression, and I don’t have anxiety or stress problems. But the reason the sentence caused me to stop reading is that it seemed like (weak heuristic) the kind of thing someone would say if they haven’t gone into gears-level detail about it and are instead describing very broad statistical trends. There’s certainly value to that sometimes, but I wasn’t looking to defer to this post, I was instead trying to look for gears that I could use to better model whether Ashwagandha would be beneficial to me.
That said, I don’t get why some people on the forum are so happy to downvote stuff to oblivion. It seems mean and off-putting. Despite my misgivings (described in the above comment) about reading the entire thing, I still found the post valuable.

Anyway, good luck experimenting!
