• reduces stress and reduces feelings of anxiety and fear;
• affects fertility and sexual performance;
• supports cognitive functions, including perception, memory and concentration;
• visibly increases the body's efficiency and accelerates its regeneration.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an adaptogen, being recognized as neuroprotective, calming for the nervous system and hormone regulator. Used for over 5,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine, Ashwagandha supports the body in situations of stress, fatigue and anxiety.

It is recommended for people with a modern and stressful lifestyle and those with sleep problems, anxiety, excess cortisol and/or fertility problems.

• ANTIOXIDANT EFFECT

Premature aging associated with chronic stress on the nervous system is linked to increased oxidative stress. As a result, the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease or neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc.) increases.

Recent studies conducted at two universities in India have discovered that Ashwagandha extract contains active substances that naturally stimulate the secretion of 3 compounds with an antioxidant effect: superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. With these properties, Ashwagandha eliminates free radicals and prevents their reappearance. (1,2)

• HELPS PROTECT THE BRAIN

Permanent stress causes the degradation of neuronal cells causing the appearance of mental or neurodegenerative diseases. Studies focused on the effectiveness of Ashwagandha in the level of neural protection have concluded that this plant decreases by 80% the number of damaged cells following a period of prolonged stress. (3.5)

• REDUCES CORTISOL LEVELS

Following the largest clinical study conducted on the effect of Ashwagandha in humans, it was shown that the plant reduces cortisol levels by up to 26%. The increase in the level of cortisol is closely related to the permanent exposure to stress, which causes an intensification of the inflammatory and degenerative processes in the body.(4)

In addition to reducing cortisol levels, Ashwagandha also has a strong anti-anxiety and antidepressant effect. Ashwagandha has been shown to support the regeneration and reconstruction of nerve cells and synapses, thus relieving specific symptoms of depression, anxiety, or memory and concentration problems.

At least 220 studies have been conducted to date on the medical benefits of Ashwagandha root. As a result, it was concluded that Aswagandha has the following effects:

• Natural antistress;
• Adaptogenic effect - increases the body's resistance to stress;
• Combats the effects of stress;
• Reduces anxiety or depression without causing drowsiness;
• Induces calmness without slowing down mental and physiological processes;
• Improves memory and ability to concentrate;
• Protects the brain from degenerative effects;
• Lowers the cortisol level;
• Antioxidant effect;
• Preserves cognitive functions with age;
• It stimulates spermatogenesis.
