ASHWAGANDHA EXTRACT 450 MG VEG CAPSULES
Ashwagandha is a traditional herb of Ayurvedic Medicine (Ayurveda) with tonic and adaptogenic properties. It has significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity against free radicals and strong antimicrobial activity against potentially dangerous bacteria, especially salmonella, an organism associated with food poisoning.

Based on clinical trials, Ashwagandha may have a calming effect against the unpleasant effects of stress in the presence of elevated cortisol levels. Participants in one particular study showed a reduction in cortisol of up to 26%, a reduction in blood sugar levels and an improvement in lipid profile. They also showed increased energy, reduced fatigue, better sleep and an enhanced sense of vitality.

Warning: Ashwagandha extract acts to enhance the body’s normal immune response, potentially increasing the symptoms of autoimmune diseases. Its use is not recommended in people suffering from multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach ulcers and⁄or who have gastrointestinal conditions. It is recommended to discontinue the use of the herb if gastrointestinal discomfort occurs. Ashwagandha interacts with sedative, immunosuppressive and antithyroid drugs. It is recommended to stop using it at least 2 weeks before any planned surgery.
