What Is Ashwagandha?
Pure Nutrition Organic Ashwagandha provides a clinically studied dose of organic ashwagandha root (675 mg) and organic black pepper fruit (5 mg) in each tablet. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a versatile adaptogenic herb that has been used to restore hormonal balance and alleviate stress for thousands of years in tratditional medicine.
The root of the ashwagandha plant contains many therapeutic compounds, including choline, saponins, alkaloids, and withanolides. A particularly important withanolide in ashwagandha is withaferin-A; this steroidal lactone remains one of the most potent compounds in nature, working to protect against excessive oxidative stress and promote feelings of well-being.3
Our organic ashwagandha tablets ensure you get an effective amount of bioactive withanolides, and piperine from organic black pepper fruit supports the absorption of those compounds.
Benefits of Ashwagandha Supplementation
Being an “adaptogen,” ashwagandha has numerous health benefits for active adults and gym-goers alike. While many people turn to ashwagandha for relieving stress and anxiety, it’s become a popular herbal supplement for enhancing sexual function, boosting testosterone levels (in males), and supporting healthy immune response.
Research consistently demonstrates that ashwagandha root is one of the most effective adaptogens, reducing stress-induced cortisol elevations by upwards of 30%.1 Clinical evidence even suggests that ashwagandha may be an effective treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome and neurodegenerative disease.2
As such, the benefits of supplementing with ashwagandha may include:
- Supporting healthy stress management
- Balancing hormone levels
- Supporting healthy sleep-wake cycles
- Encouraging healthy metabolic and immune functions
- Fighting oxidative stress
Recommended Use
- Take 1 tablet 1 to 3 times per day, preferably with a meal or as directed by your healthcare provider.
