Ashwagandha contains steroidal lactones (withanolides and withaferin), anahygrine, anaferine, cuscohygrine, pseudotropine, and heterogeneous alkaloids which reduce cortisol production. High cortisol levels are linked to sleep deprivation, hardening of arteries, muscle loss, increased fat storage, loss of bone mass, depression, hypertension, insulin resistance and lower growth hormone and testosterone production. Ashwaghanda’s restorative action to the nervous system prevents these serious ramifications. It is considered an “adaptogenic” herb that imparts rejuvenating benefits on the body and mind like increased stamina, calmness, and resistance to stress.
