A01

They support your internal systems (such as the nervous, immune, or endocrine systems) to make you less reactive, more resilient, and better able to regain your balance.

What is Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) , also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, is a powerful adaptogenic herb that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years. Adaptogens are natural substances that help the body adapt to stress, promoting mental and physical balance and resilience. Ashwagandha is primarily used to support mental clarity, reduce stress, and balance energy levels.
This small shrub, native to India and the Middle East, contains active compounds called withanolides, which are responsible for its many therapeutic effects.
