Calm & Collected Ashwagandha Tincture

…Never thought a vanilla-tasting tincture would outshine my meditation app, but here we are. Board meetings feel less ‘fight-or-flight’ and more ‘I’ve got this.’ Bonus: it’s alcohol-free, so I mix a dropper into sparkling water at lunch without the weird taste.

Perimenopause hit like a freight train. Mood swings, sugar crashes—you name it. Month two with Calm & Collected and my cortisol spikes seem to have leveled. I don’t raid the pantry at 10 p.m., and I’m sleeping through the night more often than not.

I was skeptical—another ‘adaptogen’ trend, right? But the combo of Ashwagandha and Shatavari has been a lifesaver for that pre-period irritability. I still feel my emotions, just… tempered. I pop it under my tongue while coffee brews and I’m noticeably steadier getting the kids out the door.

Three weeks in and it’s like somebody turned the background noise down in my brain. Between a demanding sales job and two soccer-mad kids, I’d been living on edge-of-tears mode by 3 p.m. This little dropper takes the sharp corners off the day without making me feel groggy. Even my husband noticed I’m not ‘snapping’ around cycle time.”
