A good economical source for ashwagandha is http://www.iamshaman.com/ The powder is only $12.99 per pound with 5-10% off with later discounts.
I'm also impressed with http://www.1stchineseherbs.com/ where I got the albizzia. They ask $38.00 a pound for ashwagandha powder but the shipping is free. Their quality is absolutely first-rate.
I'm really noticing a difference with just 4 caps (about a gram) per day of either the Jarrow or Paradise ashwagandha formula. I found it easier to focus, felt more motivated, and calmer. Both have 8% withanolides.
Once I get a little more organized I plan to try several grams of the bulk powder per day. I guess the studies used as much as 30 grams per day.
Meanwhile, albizzia bark was a real bust (wrong tree for barking up). I took a massive dose to no effect. I still have hopes for the flowers though.
