About Ashwagandha

• Traditional Use: Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has a long history of traditional use as an adaptogen, offering broad benefits for immune function, stress resistance, vitality, and general well-being.
• High-Quality Extract: KSM-66 is an organic proprietary extract that uses only the roots of the plant. Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy.
• Stress Reduction: When taken over 60 days, it has been shown to substantially reduce self-reported stress levels and blood levels of the hormone cortisol.
• Weight Management: Compared to a placebo, KSM-66 has also been shown to reduce food cravings and improve body weight among people reporting chronic stress.
• Cognitive Benefits: In randomized trials, KSM-66 has been associated with better sleep, well-being, and mental alertness in older adults, as well as improved memory and brain function in individuals with cognitive impairment.
• Athletic Performance: Supplementation by athletes has been associated with improved cardiorespiratory and physical fitness, including an increase in VO2 max, a marker of exercise capacity, and greater gains in muscle mass and strength when combined with resistance exercise.
• Other Benefits: Increased sleep duration, improved sexual function in both men and women, increased testosterone and other reproductive health markers in men with low sperm counts, and restoration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

Quick Tips for Optimal Health

• Mindfulness Practices: Mindfulness-based practices, such as stress-reduction exercises and meditation, have shown significant benefits in improving anxiety, mood, sleep, weight, and eating behaviors.
• Gratitude Interventions: Practices such as deep breathing and gratitude interventions (e.g., a daily gratitude journal) have been linked to increased well-being, decreased anxiety, and better sleep.
• Physical Activity: Associated with improved general well-being and less anxiety, alongside its well-known benefits for physical fitness, cardiovascular, and metabolic health.
• Sleep Quality: Inadequate or poor sleep quality has been linked to poor performance in nearly every bodily function, including impaired memory, cognitive function, and glucose control, as well as increased risk of high blood pressure, weight gain, and anxiety. Improving sleep may help alleviate a wide variety of symptoms.
• Sleep Strategies: Maintaining a consistent and regular bedtime, cooling the ambient temperature before bed, avoiding daytime naps if you have trouble sleeping, and avoiding exercise close to bedtime can help improve sleep quality.
• Dietary Habits: Adopting a diet similar to the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in anti-inflammatory plant foods and low in refined and processed foods, has a wide range of benefits, including weight control, cardiovascular disease prevention, and improvements in anxiety and mood.
