Ashwagandha root is an important herb in Ayurvedic medicine, where it has been used for around 3,000 years to support the body's resilience in the face of stress. The botanical name for ashwagandha is Withania somnifera, and the herb is a member of the nightshade family of plants. It is sometimes known as Indian ginseng, and its active constituents include saponins, steroidal lactones, and alkaloids.
As an adaptogen, ashwagandha helps us to better handle stress, but that's not the only benefit of this herb. Adaptogenic herbs help to promote balance in key systems of the body, including the endocrine and reproductive systems, immune function, and overall energy metabolism.
Ashwagandha root has been used for about 3,000 years as a natural stress-reliever, but that's not all this adaptogenic herb does. Adaptogens help promote balance in our body, including our immune function, energy metabolism, and endocrine and reproductive systems.
Ashwagandha has been proven in several studies to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol. It also supports energy levels, which in turn with stress reduction, improves immune health.
Ashwagandha may help improve memory and brain health. Other benefits include increased sexual function and testosterone levels, improved fertility, and warding off tumors.
Finally, we may be able to lose a little weight with ashwagandha's stress-reducing capabilities, as cortisol can cause unhealthy weight gain, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Ashwagandha Supports Energy Levels.
Thanks to its adaptogenic activities, ashwagandha helps to support normal energy metabolism as well as testosterone production and thyroid health. This makes it an especially useful herb for fighting fatigue associated with stress.
Ashwagandha has been associated with increases in serum T4 (thyroxine), which suggests that the herb helps to support or enhance thyroid function, thereby promoting better energy levels as well as supporting mood and immune function.
Protect Brain Health.
Several animal and in vitro studies suggest that the withanamides in ashwagandha exert neuroprotective effects, including against beta-amyloid-induced cytotoxicity and simulated traumatic brain injury (TBI). Constituents of ashwagandha may help to reduce expression of the cell death factor Bax, while reversing the injury-induced reduction in the length of neurites that project from neurons. These active constituents of ashwagandha can cross the blood-brain barrier and are being investigated as a therapeutic agent for stress-induced neurological disorders.
Ashwagandha has also been seen to enhance memory and other cognitive functions. In one study involving 50 adults, those who took 300mg of an ashwagandha extract twice daily for eight weeks, compared to placebo, had significant improvements in immediate and general memory including better scores on Wechsler Memory Scale III subtests.
The volunteers who took ashwagandha also had significantly greater improvement in executive function, sustained attention, and information processing speed, compared to those taking a placebo for 8 weeks.
Support Sexual Function.
Not only does ashwagandha help you feel more energized in general, it may also have positive effects on your libido, sexual performance, and fertility! In part, this is because of the antioxidant effects of ashwagandha. However, the herb also helps to regulate hormones, including enhancing testosterone levels in men.
In one 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, men aged 18-50 years old with little experience in resistance training either took a placebo or 300mg of ashwagandha root extract twice daily while engaging in resistance training. Those taking ashwagandha had much greater increases in testosterone over the 8 weeks as well as in muscle size and strength, compared to placebo, and experienced greater reductions in exercise-induced muscle damage and body fat percentage.
