Modern life is full of overwhelming stress and decisions. We have an idea that will help you manage that stress and feel in control—amazing ashwagandha.
A worthy adversary of stress
Roots of the ashwagandha shrub are ground into powder and put into a capsule for a powerful way to reduce stress and increase a feeling of calm and wellbeing.
Many studies have shown that supplementing with ashwagandha reduces a person’s level of cortisol—the stress hormone (1). What’s more, researchers have found that ashwagandha helps even chronically stressed people feel better. (2)
That’s not all this natural, powerhouse root can do.
Cholesterol’s worst nightmare
Ashwagandha has been studied as a means of reducing triglycerides and cholesterol (3). One animal study showed up to a 53% decrease in triglycerides and blood lipids (fats) in animals treated with ashwagandha, while also showing a significant increase in “healthy” HDL cholesterol levels.
Knowing you’re taking a step toward heart health is a stress reliever all by itself.
Ally of your brain
Substances like caffeine can boost your alertness, but it can also leave you feeling jittery and a little anxious. Ashwagandha, on the other hand, helps you stay alert while maintaining a feeling of calm.
Ashwagandha also improves cognition and brain function. Studies have found it useful in treating children with memory deficits and people experiencing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. (4)
For thousands of years people in India have used ashwagandha to boost energy and increase longevity. Now’s the time to see what ashwagandha can do for you. Let’s get rid of the stress and enjoy what’s next.
Let’s get healthier, together,
