ASHWAGANDHA
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) originates from the South Asian region in India, Nepal and Western China, but is now also cultivated in parts of Africa. The small woody shrub grows mainly on dry and gravelly soils and can grow up to 1m tall. The Ayurvedic plant is also known as sleeping berry or Indian ginseng. The name "Ashwa" is derived from Sanskrit and means something like "smell of the horse", which is due to the smell of the root.
Stress, mood and well-being
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 64 individuals suffering from chronic stress, participants in the group taking ashwagandha reported an average 69% reduction in anxiety and insomnia, compared with 11% in the placebo group (1).
In a 6-week study, 88% of those taking ashwagandha reported a reduction in anxiety compared to 50% of those taking placebo (3).
Focus, concentration and memory
Ashwagandha has been shown in numerous studies to improve all aspects of cognitive function when it comes to focus, concentration and memory. A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial compared the effects of Withania somnifera and placebo on psychomotor performance in 30 healthy participants. Sensorimotor function, auditory reaction time, and mental arithmetic ability were improved by Withania somnifera compared to placebo (6).
Sleep
A placebo-blind study of the efficacy of ashwagandha for insomnia and anxiety suggests that ashwagandha root extract is a natural agent with sleep-promoting potential that has been shown to improve sleep quality and latency to fall asleep (2).
Male fertility
A study of men who received ashwagandha for stress found higher antioxidant levels and better sperm quality (5).
