Ashwagandha

The best ashwagandha supplements for a balanced body and mind.

Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, is a plant that grows in India, the Middle East and parts of Africa. It's an evergreen shrub in the same family as tomatoes and potatoes. In Ayurvedic medicine, ashwagandha is considered important for promoting both physical and mental health.

Ashwagandha supplements offer a range of benefits backed by both tradition and modern science. These include stress reduction, improved athletic performance, heart health support, protection against neurodegenerative diseases, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, blood sugar regulation and better sleep. Studies show it can lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation and promote mental clarity.

For women, Ashwagandha is especially beneficial during menopause or hormonal fluctuations. It eases anxiety, combats fatigue, improves sleep and clears brain fog, keeping you balanced and energetic. Athletes benefit too; ashwagandha supplements increase stamina, reduce fatigue, boost energy, and aid in faster recovery, helping you perform better and reach your goals quicker.

While safe for most, pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with autoimmune conditions or on immunosuppressive medications should consult their GP, midwife or healthcare provider before using ashwagandha.
