Living with stress is part of living in today’s world. Stress is your
body’s natural response to everyday physical, emotional and environmental
demands. You can’t avoid this stress altogether, but using Ashwagandha,
combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle changes, can help minimize its negative
effects.
• Helps to manage normal daily stress
• Supports healthy brain function
The Science of Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is renowned as an herbal adaptogen.
In the Indian Ayurvedic tradition it is used as a Rasayana, a dietary supplement
or practice promoting rejuvenation, mental and physical health, as well as providing
a defense against aging and challenging environmental factors. Ashwagandha
root has been shown to protect brain cells from oxidative damage caused
by exposure to stressors.
• Ashwagandha reduced the number of neurons damaged
due to oxidative stress by 80% — an effect attributed to protection against
stress-induced free radicals in key areas of the brain.
• In a placebo-controlled study, men and women given an extract of Ashwagandha
root showed improved mental skills by performing better in reaction times, mental
arithmetic and logical deductions.
