Ashwagandha - A Natural Plant-Based Solvent

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, is an herb that has been used since ancient times. It has traditionally been regarded as a 'Rasayana', or a rejuvenating herb that promotes longevity and delays aging. Its Latin species name 'somnifera' means 'sleep-inducing' [1].

Stress Management and Cognitive Improvement

Ashwagandha is known for its strong adaptogenic (to better manage stress) and nootropic (to improve cognitive function, concentration, and memory) effects. Other properties of ashwagandha include support for healthy sleep, hormonal system function, and overall physical fitness, among others.

Research on Ashwagandha

Studies suggest that intake of ashwagandha root extract increases resilience to stress and improves cognitive function and mood in adults - a significantly improved response to stress has been observed after as little as 30 days of supplementation [2]. Furthermore, it has been shown that ashwagandha can be helpful in alleviating anxiety symptoms by positively affecting vitality, concentration, and social function, among other things [3], and that - as a natural compound with sleep effects - it has the potential to improve sleep quality [4]. Studies indicate that ashwagandha root extract - by helping to reduce cortisol levels - can be useful for weight management in individuals experiencing chronic stress [5].

Ashwagandha's Versatile Benefits

Ashwagandha's potential to alleviate symptoms of cognitive impairment and improve executive function, attention, and information processing speed has also been indicated. Therefore, it is considered an herb that can counteract many of the problems associated with aging [1]. Additionally, winter cherry extract - by affecting the autonomic nervous system - may have anti-fatigue effects [6].
