What the research says

Ashwagandha Root (Withania somnifera)

Evidence tier: Moderate

What it is: A root used for centuries in Ayurveda and classed as an adaptogen, a plant studied for how it supports the body's response to everyday stress.

What the research shows: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 64 adults, those taking a concentrated ashwagandha root extract reported substantially lower scores on standard perceived-stress questionnaires than the placebo group, along with lower serum cortisol. The result is encouraging, but it comes from a concentrated, standardized extract in a relatively small trial.

Typical study dose: 600 mg/day of a high-concentration, full-spectrum root extract (300 mg twice daily) for 60 days in the cited trial. This describes what the study used, not a recommended amount. This formula supplies 650 mg of organic ashwagandha root per capsule; the label does not state a withanolide standardization, so it is not directly equivalent to the extract studied.
