Ashwagandha Extract
Ashwagandha Extract is derived from the roots of the Ashwagandha plant (Withania somnifera), which is native to India, the Middle East, and Africa. It is a small woody plant with yellow flowers and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years to treat various diseases.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
Reducing Stress and Anxiety: Ashwagandha Extract can help regulate the hypothalamic - pituitary - adrenal (HPA) axis, reducing the secretion of cortisol, a stress hormone, thereby effectively alleviating stress and anxiety symptoms. Clinical studies have shown that supplementing with Ashwagandha Extract has a beneficial effect on improving anxiety and stress levels, and the optimal dose for improving stress is 300 - 600 mg/day.
Improving Sleep Quality: It has a positive effect on sleep. In a randomized, double - blind, controlled trial, subjects took 600 mg of Ashwagandha root extract daily for 8 weeks, and the results showed an improvement in sleep quality.
Enhancing Fertility: It may help improve male fertility. Daily consumption of 5 grams of Ashwagandha for three months can increase sperm count and quality in men. It also has a regulatory effect on female hormones, helping to maintain normal hormone levels in the blood and enhancing the maturation of eggs into follicles.
Boosting Physical Performance: Ashwagandha Extract can increase muscle mass and strength when combined with resistance training. In a study, subjects who took 600 mg of Ashwagandha root extract daily for 8 weeks showed a significant increase in antioxidant levels in the body and an improvement in cardiopulmonary endurance.
Having Anti - Inflammatory and Anti - Oxidant Effects: It contains active ingredients such as withanolides, alkaloids, phenols, and flavonoids, which have anti - inflammatory, anti - tumor, immune - regulating, anti - diabetic, and neuroprotective effects. These ingredients can scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and play a role in preventing and treating chronic diseases related to inflammation.
DOSAGE
The appropriate dosage of Ashwagandha Extract varies depending on the intended use and individual differences. For reducing stress and anxiety, daily doses of 300 - 600 mg are usually recommended. To improve sleep quality, 600 mg (divided into two doses) is taken daily for 8 weeks. For enhancing male fertility, 5 grams per day for three months is suggested. When combined with resistance training to increase muscle mass and strength, daily doses of 750 - 1250 mg for 30 days have been used in studies. However, it is important to note that long - term use of high doses may have potential side effects, and it is best to consult a doctor or professional before use.
