Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a powerful adaptogenic herb traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to help the body manage stress, balance hormones, and support overall vitality. As an adaptogen, it promotes resilience by regulating the stress hormone cortisol, which can improve mood, sleep, and cognitive function. Ashwagandha is also known to support immune health, energy levels, and healthy aging by acting as a general tonic for the nervous and endocrine systems.

Those experiencing chronic stress, fatigue, low mood, or hormonal imbalances may benefit most from Ashwagandha. It is commonly taken in the form of high-quality root extract, such as KSM-66 or Sensoril, which are both standardized for consistent potency and superior bioavailability. Ashwagandha is best taken with food, preferably in the morning or evening, alongside a healthy fat (like coconut oil or milk) to enhance absorption.
