Ashwagandha: The Stress-Reducing Adaptogen
Ashwagandha has gained significant popularity for its potential to reduce stress, anxiety, and cortisol levels. Multiple studies have shown that it can effectively decrease cortisol levels by 28-30%. It has also been found to improve sleep quality and power output during intense training sessions. However, there is insufficient evidence to support claims of increased testosterone, improved cognition, or better blood glucose and insulin responses. Ashwagandha can be a helpful supplement in times of high stress but should not be taken continuously since it suppresses cortisol, a hormone that has important functions in the body.
