Used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 6,000 years, Ashwagandha has been used in various disease processes and most specifically for its anti-stress and adaptogenic properties.

Ashwagandha grows throughout India, the Middle East, and in parts of Africa. It contains steroidal lactones known as withanolides, which have been shown, through scientific studies, to be responsible for the health benefits of the plant.

Ashwagandha acts as an adaptogen, helping to maintain the body’s healthy response to physiological and psychological stress. Adaptogens also help reduce fatigue and improve

energy. Standardized Ashwagandha Extract 500 mg may be a useful dietary supplement for those who want to support a more balanced, healthier response to stress.
