May 2, 2022 Ingredient Spotlight: Ashwagandha Share on: Stress will always be part of life. It’s a fact (though not necessarily our favorite one). But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to help the body better manage stress. Enter Ashwaghandha. What is Ashwagandha? Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub and apoptogenic herb that is native to Asia and Africa. Let’s take a quick pause here. First, what exactly are adaptogens? Adaptogens are compounds from special plant species that help balance stress levels. As they grow, these plants produce specific chemicals that help them survive in harsh conditions. These same chemicals work in the body to help enable a healthy stress response. Ashwagandha Benefits In scientific terms, ashwagandha works by supporting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to modulate stress hormones and neurotransmitters. Or in other words, it helps balance your body to better respond to physical, mental, and environmental stress. This benefit-packed compound also offers cell support and features antioxidants to support your body’s response to oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Even more, ashwagandha may also have cognitive benefits, including support for reaction time, memory, task performance, and attention. How to Add Ashwagandha to Your Diet You can incorporate adaptogens like ashwagandha into your daily routine by adding them into food, drinks, or taking them as supplements.
