Planetary Herbals KSM-66 Ashwagandha – 60 VC

The high-stress levels of our society have a profound impact on well-being, impacting our bodies and health in ways that are continually being revealed by new research. Planetary Herbals can help you address this modern problem with one of the most highly respected botanicals in the 5,000- year-old Ayurvedic herbal tradition. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is often compared to Asian ginseng. It is widely used in modern Western herbalism as an adaptogen – a substance that can help our bodies healthfully adapt to physiological and psychological stress, thus increasing

resistance to stressors.

Ashwagandha has been shown to increase stress resistance, improve memory-related performance, and protect against stress-induced responses such as anxiety, and physiological imbalances, according to numerous animal studies and several human studies. Well-controlled clinical studies are needed to further confirm ashwagandha's benefits for humans. The key constituents of ashwagandha are alkaloids and a group of steroidal lactones known as withanolides.
