Product Description
Ashwagandha extract is a natural ingredient derived from the roots or leaves of *Withania somnifera*, a plant belonging to the nightshade family.
Traditionally utilized in Ayurvedic medicine, it primarily serves as an adaptogen-helping the body cope with stress, boost energy levels, and enhance overall well-being. Its active constituents include alkaloids (such as withanolides) and steroidal lactones, which possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.
Key Constituents and Mechanisms of Action
The core active compounds within Ashwagandha extract are the *withanolides*. These compounds function by regulating the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis to balance the stress hormone cortisol, while simultaneously enhancing Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) activity to alleviate anxiety. Its antioxidant properties stem from the presence of flavonoids and polyphenols, which help mitigate cellular damage caused by free radicals.
