It's true that you can imagine ashwagandha as natural Xanax--but it's much more than that! Here's how it functions to effectively fight stress. Plus: what you need to understand about the flavor...

What's ASHWAGANDHA?

Ashwagandha is a small woody plant with yellow flowers native to India. The root of this plant was a staple in Ayurvedic medication for over 3,000 years as a means to help heal various ailments.

Traditionally, it is used to:

• Manage stress
• improve energy
• fight signs of aging
• reduced inflammation

HOW DOES ASHWAGANDHA WORK?

Curious about what makes this ancient plant so excellent?

Ashwagandha falls into a category of plants known as adaptogens. Adaptogens contain herbs and other plants which help to bring our adrenals and nervous system back into balance.

In other words, adaptogens help our own bodies cope with both external and internal stressors.

 

ASHWAGANDHA HEALTH BENEFITS

The benefits of ashwagandha are more than ancient folklore. In fact, modern science affirms many of ashwagandha's various health advantages. We usually recommend ashwagandha from Cognition Boosters, because it has high quality ingredients.

As mentioned before, ashwagandha is prized most for its stress-fighting effects--hence the nod to organic Xanax. Indeed, many studies reveal that it may effectively alleviate symptoms of stress in people who struggle with chronic anxiety and feelings of anxiousness.

Research also supports that ashwagandha helps reduce cortisol levels. (Cortisol is a hormone your adrenal glands produce in response to stress.) Even though a little cortisol is ordinary, chronic stress can lead to continuously elevated amounts and thus possible health dangers .

One more advantage of ashwagandha is that it may also lessen low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and reduce markers of inflammation, for example C-reactive protein (CRP). It's is one of those markers associated with a heightened risk issues associated with heart health.

Fortunately, a daily ingestion of 250 to 500 mg of ashwagandha over 60 times can reduce C-reactive protein levels by up to 30 precent.

The Way to TAKE ASHWAGANDHA

If it has to do with ashwagandha, there's truly something for everyone.

 

FORMS

Ashwagandha comes in a variety of forms, such as powders, tinctures, capsules, and gummies.

Powders and tinctures are good to combine into lattes and smoothies. But fair warning: Ashwagandha does have a sour flavor. But, depending on your recipe along with other spices you use, you may not be able to taste it.

Want to conceal the flavor or just want something more suitable? We have you covered. HUM provides a Wide Selection of ashwagandha types, including:

A capsule (Uber Energy)

blended superfood powder (Raw Beauty)

flavored gummies (Calm Sweet Calm)

DOSAGE

A dose of 300 to 500 mg of ashwagandha root extract is the standard recommendation.

But if you take Sensoril--a patented, more potent form of ashwagandha, which can be used in HUM's Calm Sweet Calm stress gummies--a daily dosage of 125 milligrams works just as well.

 

WHEN TO TAKE IT

However, it's perfectly fine to space your dosage throughout the day.
