I’m a Health Editor and I Tried Lemme Chill Gummies for 2 Weeks for Anxiety

My Experience with Lemme Chill Gummies: A 2-Week Experiment with Ashwagandha for Anxiety

I’ve tried many quick-fix anxiety hacks on the internet, from dried goji berries to self-hypnosis apps. Recently, I wondered if a supplement promising to "de-stress" could take the edge off, so I tried Lemme Chill Gummies, containing KSM-66 Ashwagandha root extract and a proprietary blend of passion flower, lemon balm, and goji berry.

My First Impression of the Lemme Chill Gummies

I started by taking two gummies after putting my son to bed and, to my surprise, they were delicious! I felt the effects within 15 minutes – I was calmer, slightly zoned out, and a bit sleepy. This feeling lasted for over an hour before mellowing out, and I even slept well that night.

Taking the Gummies Right Before My Stressful Appointment

For my doctor’s appointment, I took two gummies 30 minutes beforehand and felt a similar effect. By the time I was in the exam room, I was calmer, but not completely stress-free. I was convinced that this stuff actually worked.

Inconsistent Effects

After a few days, I felt overly confident about the results. However, my third dose didn’t produce the same relaxing effects. I continued the same routine, but each night, I felt very little relaxation. Was it possible that I’d built up a tolerance for ashwagandha? According to Candy Tsourounis, a professor of clinical pharmacy at the University of California San Francisco, it’s possible that ashwagandha really impacts various hormones – for a time.

How to Pick a Good Ashwagandha Supplement

While ashwagandha is generally considered safe, there are some restrictions. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have thyroid issues, or take certain diabetes or blood pressure medications, you should talk to your doctor before taking these supplements. Additionally, studies have only followed people taking ashwagandha for three months, so there’s no long-term safety data.

When choosing an ashwagandha supplement, make sure it:

• Is tested for safety by organizations like NSF
• Contains 300 to 600 mg of ashwagandha or is standardized to 5% ashwagandha root extract
• Does not contain "proprietary blends" of other ingredients

Conclusion

If you want to try Lemme Chill supplements for anxiety, be aware that the active ingredient is ashwagandha, and there are some restrictions to using it. If you take it multiple nights in a row, you may stop feeling the effects. If you’re unsure whether ashwagandha is safe for you, it’s best to talk with your healthcare provider.
