Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng, is indicated in Ayurveda as a daily rasayana, or anti-aging support*. It is one of the most highly regarded and widely used Ayurvedic herbs and is believed to increase energy and overall health and longevity*. It acts as an adaptogen and is immune supportive, nourishing and strengthening the inner reserve of the human body*. Ashwagandha literally means to impart the strength of a horse. It supports brain function, and may support thyroid function*. The key constituents of ashwagandha, withanoloids, play an important role in its ability to promote physical and mental health by reducing occasional stress, improving cognitive and brain function, supporting immune system functions, and maintaining healthy metabolism*. Traditionally, ashwagandha is well recognized for its positive support for joint and tissue health*. It has many uses, including promoting healthy sexual function*. Our ashwagandha is unique for a number of reasons, not the least of which is our patented extraction method.
