Ashwagandha is classified as an adaptogenic herb that helps the body manage stress more effectively. Clinical studies demonstrate it reduces cortisol levels (the stress hormone) by 28% on average. The herb works by:

  • Regulating neural signaling in the brain
  • Lowering inflammation associated with chronic stress
  • Supporting healthy adrenal function
  • Improving sleep quality

A significant study showed that participants taking 300mg of ashwagandha twice daily experienced a 69% reduction in anxiety and insomnia symptoms compared to 11% in the placebo group.
