I've been a big fan of TRIP, and it's guaranteed that you'll always find their tiered canned Elderflower Mint drinks in my fridge.
So when they launched their new Cherry Ashwagandha & Vitamin D Gummies, I was intrigued.
TRIP Cherry Ashwagandha & Vitamin D Gummies (30 Servings)
TRIP's new Cherry Ashwagandha & Vitamin D Gummies taste amazing and are packed with 3000mg of KSM-66 Ashwagandha.

I'd previously tried and tested their magnesium gummies, which I found to be a nice way to wind down in the evenings, so I was curious how these new ones would stack up, especially for busy days when my brain is running on overdrive.
Ashwagandha has become quite the trend lately on shelves, in headlines, and all over TikTok. The hashtag alone has generated over 600,000 posts on the social media app, with countless users sharing their results after taking supplements from various brands.
But what is Ashwagandha? Ashwagandha is traditionally used in herbal wellness practices, but it's worth noting individual effects can vary.
Its popularity has skyrocketed as more people seek natural ways to manage stress and improve overall wellness, making it a go-to supplement for many.
I was curious to see how these would perform, especially since they're powered by KSM-66 Ashwagandha, with 1500mg per gummy (take two daily for a total of 3000mg).
Additionally, they contain Vitamin D, which contributes to normal psychological function, a key factor for achieving mental wellbeing and resilience.
Straight off the bat, the taste surprised me; these are hands down the best flavoured gummies I've tried from TRIP. They're soft, jelly-like and have a delicious cherry taste with none of that fake, overpowering sweetness.
Unlike many supplements, these contain no artificial colours or flavours, just natural ingredients including black carrot extract for colour and coconut oil.
How did they work for me? I found these gummies ideal for demanding workdays.
They didn't make me feel tired, foggy or flat. Instead, I experienced a clarity and felt less reactive to typical stress triggers - think urgent emails or last-minute calendar invites.
I felt a bit more at ease without sacrificing energy or focus. I felt I could perform better under pressure.
That said, the effects weren't hugely noticeable if I took them religiously every day, so I've been savouring them when I really need that extra mental support.
My dosage is two gummies daily, as recommended. However, some of my friends say that one TRIP gummy does the trick. So it's worth noting that dosing is personal, much like the effects of caffeine.
Overall, TRIP's Cherry Ashwagandha & Vitamin D Gummie s have become a subtle yet welcome addition to my wellness routine, helping to support my mental clarity and alleviate the pressures of daily life.
Just remember that no supplement is a magic bullet, and always consult with a healthcare professional before adding anything new to your routine.
