Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb (sometimes known as Indian Ginseng), which has been used for many years to support health, reduce stress and improve vitality. It has gained more popularity in recent years due to its cortisol reducing properties, which help the body manage stress, improve athletic performance and improve sleep quality. We chose to include Ashwagandha in our Advanced Multivitamin for these very reasons. This article will break down some of the main benefits of ashwagandha.
One of the most well documented benefits of ashwagandha is its ability to reduce stress and anxiety via the mechanism of reducing cortisol levels in the body, which may help in reducing symptoms of chronic stress and anxiety. (Ref, Ref, Ref, Ref)
Research indicates that Ashwagandha can improve strength and power output (Ref, Ref, Ref). as well as general athletic performance (Ref). Furthermore, there is an abundance of evidence that Ashwagandha can improve VO2 Max and aerobic recovery (Ref, Ref, Ref, Ref, Ref, Ref).
Ashwagandha is generally known to help you sleep by the mechanism of reducing cortisol levels, inducing a state of calm and promoting deeper, more restful sleep. This may be particularly useful for those who struggle with nighttime sleep disturbances. (Ref, Ref, Ref)
There is some evidence that ashwagandha supplementation may lower exercise induced muscle damage. This was shown in a study where, compared to the placebo subjects, the subjects supplemented with ashwagandha had greater stabilisation of serum creatine kinase, potentially indicating less muscle damage (Ref).
There is some evidence that ashwagandha may positively influence the balance of hormones, potentially even increasing testosterone levels. This has been shown in a study whereby over 8 weeks, ashwagandha supplementation was associated with increased levels of DHEA-S and testosterone (Ref, Ref). There still needs to be much more robust research done in this area but it is promising.
In our opinion multivitamins should provide a multitude of benefits. Ashwagandha offers exactly this. The addition of 600mg of KSM-66 Ashwagandha to the MARCHON Advanced Multivitamin helps reduce the wellness admin of taking multiple products and provides further support for optimal health and wellbeing.
