How it Works
Our ashwagandha formula is made from standardized Withania somnifera root extract. It's a convenient way to consume this powerful health tonic, helping you manage stress and boost energy, performance, and overall well-being.
Many of ashwagandha's health benefits are due to its content of antioxidant compounds called withanolides. Each of our ashwagandha capsules contains a minimum of 11mg of active withanolides. These compounds scavenge unstable free radicals to combat oxidative damage and quell inflammation in the body.
Ashwagandha is known as an adaptogen, a compound that supports the body during times of mental and physical stress. Research suggests it lowers the amount of the stress hormone cortisol pumped out by the adrenal glands, and in doing so reduces the negative effects of chronic stress like insomnia, anxiety, and burn out.
It also enhances gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling in the brain, preventing the over- excitability of neurons and inducing a sense of calm. A study on chronically stressed adults found ashwagandha significantly reduced feelings of stress, lowered cortisol levels, and improved sleep quality.
Another of ashwagandha's impressive benefits is its positive impact on thyroid function, necessary for optimal energy and metabolism. This makes it a useful natural supplement for athletes and exercise enthusiasts. The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found it increased muscle strength and muscle size and reduced exercise-induced muscle damage.
