What it is
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a shrub grown in India, the Middle East and parts of Africa. Supplements use an extract of the root. In Ayurvedic tradition it is one of the best-known adaptogens, herbs taken to support the body’s response to everyday stress.*
What a study observed
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 64 adults took 300 mg of ashwagandha root extract twice a day for 60 days. At the end, serum cortisol was 27.9% lower than in the placebo group, and the authors reported improved resistance to stress (Chandrasekhar et al., 2012).*
In this formula
A serving of 2 gummies has 300 mg of ashwagandha. On the pouch it sits behind the word Mood. The amounts above are per serving, from the Supplement Facts panel. Research cited on this page studied the ingredient on its own, usually in a different form or dose, and is not a claim about this product.
Who should ask a doctor first
Ashwagandha can interact with thyroid, sedative, blood pressure, blood sugar and immune-suppressing medication, and it is not recommended during pregnancy. Talk to your healthcare provider before taking any supplement if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition.
