Ayurvedic Complex - 17 Traditional Botanicals Per Serving Vegan Capsules - 60 Servings, Non-GMO

Western supplements isolate. Ayurveda groups. That difference is the whole reason this bottle looks the way it does.

The tradition has never treated a single herb as a complete answer. Its most enduring preparations are combinations with names of their own, taken daily over long stretches rather than reached for in a moment.

Seventeen botanicals, in the four groups they naturally fall into:

• The adaptogens – ashwagandha root at a 2.5% extract and holy basil leaf at 2%, both traditionally used to support the body through demanding periods
• The two classical formulations – Trikatu, which is black pepper, long pepper and ginger, and Triphala, which is amla, bibhitaki and haritaki. Both are traditionally taken to support digestion, and both have been used under those names for centuries
• The clarity and vitality herbs – brahmi at a 20% extract, plus shilajit and cordyceps
• The spices and supporting plants – turmeric standardised to 95% curcuminoids, with cinnamon, cloves, amla, celery seed, garlic, sandalwood, lavender and peppermint

Assembled separately that is seventeen bottles, seventeen prices and a morning nobody sustains.

FERNWOOD Ayurvedic Complex is one capsule daily with a meal, and the bottle is two months. What you get for that:

• Breadth across a whole tradition rather than one herb from it
• Two classical formulations under their own names
• A routine simple enough that you are still doing it in month three

🗓 Eight to twelve weeks, and that is not a hedge

The human research on the herbs in this bottle ran for eight to twelve weeks, without exception. Almost everybody who decides an Ayurvedic blend did nothing for them stopped somewhere in week three. A bottle here is sixty days, which is roughly the minimum honest trial.

🍽 Always with food

The label says with a meal and it means it. Seventeen concentrated botanicals on an empty stomach is the most common reason people find this sort of capsule sits badly, and the peppers in Trikatu are a large part of why.

🌿 There is a smell, and it is the herbs

Open the bottle and it smells like a spice cupboard, because that is essentially what is in it. Some people notice a herbal note afterwards too. It is the material rather than a fault, and taking it mid-meal rather than at the end of one reduces it.

⚠ It is not a sleep product

Nothing here is sedating and nothing here is dosed for the evening. This is a daytime, with-a-meal, everyday habit. If it is sleep you are after, that is a different bottle and we would rather send you to the right one.

This is a bottle with seventeen plants in it and some real cautions attached, so here is all of it in one place.

• On the amounts, plainly – the label prints no milligram figure against any of the seventeen, and no total for the blend. Seventeen botanicals inside roughly a gram of capsule fill means each one is present in a modest amount, well below the doses used in the trials on the headline herbs. This is a breadth formula and a traditional daily amount, not a clinical dose of anything, and every ingredient on this page should be read that way. Said once, here
• It contains licorice root – and the label does not say it is the deglycyrrhizinated kind, so assume it is not. Licorice taken continuously over long periods can raise blood pressure and lower potassium, which matters most for a product you might take every day indefinitely. Do not run it continuously for months without speaking to a doctor, and do not take it at all if you have high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease, or take a diuretic
• Ashwagandha and turmeric both have liver safety signals – rare, but documented, and worth knowing rather than discovering. Do not take this if you have liver disease, and stop and seek medical advice if you develop jaundice, dark urine or unexplained abdominal pain
• The black pepper is here as part of Trikatu – as one third of a classical formulation, which is what it has always been in this tradition. We are not going to sell it to you as an absorption enhancer for the turmeric, because that is a claim with its own safety questions attached
• On testing – published surveys have found heavy metals in a meaningful proportion of Ayurvedic products sold in the US, and a majority of the affected products claimed testing they did not have. We have asked our supplier for heavy metal testing on this batch and we will publish it here when we have it

What is left is seventeen named plants, four extract grades printed, and a two-month bottle for a tradition that has always worked on that timescale.

This was made for people who like the idea of a herbal routine and have already worked out they will never keep a complicated one.

It's especially for you if:

• You have bought ashwagandha and turmeric separately and taken neither of them consistently
• You are curious about Ayurveda and would rather start with the tradition than with one herb from it
• You want a routine that is one capsule at dinner rather than a shelf and a schedule
• You would rather see extract grades on a label than a number of ingredients on the front
• You are prepared to give something two months, because you already know a fortnight proves nothing

Seventeen botanicals, four extract grades printed, 60 capsules to a bottle, one a day with a meal. Gluten free, lactose free, allergen free, corn free, non-GMO, vegetarian and vegan. Made in the USA.

It is not for you if you are pregnant or nursing, under 18, living with liver disease, high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease or a thyroid condition, or taking blood thinners, diuretics, corticosteroids or thyroid medication.
