Ashwagandha is one of the most revered and widely used Ayurvedic herbs, with an extensive history of traditional use spanning over 4,000 years. Withanolides are key constituents of this herb and play an important role in its physical and mental health benefits. The extract is derived from Withania somnifera root and standardized to contain 2.5% withanolides.
In animal studies, ashwagandha has been shown to support the activity of lymphocytes and macrophages, moderate occasional stress, enhance memory, provide neuroprotection by scavenging free radicals, and support thyroid function. A small human clinical trial demonstrated the ability of ashwagandha to support healthy glucose and lipid metabolism.
