Ashwawin Ashwagandha 50mg – Rejuvenates your mind and body

Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal is an evergreen shrub cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa, and Europe. It is commonly called by the Sanskrit name, ashwagandha, because the plant’s roots are said to smell like a wet horse (“ashwa” for horse and “gandha” for smell) [1]. Also known as Indian ginseng and winter cherry, ashwagandha has been used in the traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine systems of India as an adaptogen, which is loosely defined as a compound or product that increases the ability of a person to resist, adapt, or become resilient in nonspecific ways to biological, physical, or chemical stressors [2,3].

The species name somnifera comes from the Latin word for sleep inducing, signifying another purported property of this botanical [4]. In addition to sleep, ashwagandha is commonly promoted for stress and anxiety reduction and for cognitive disorders.

Ashwagandha is rich in phytochemicals, including steroidal lactones (known as withanolides) and alkaloids. While withanolides are believed to be responsible for many of ashwagandha’s proposed effects, evidence from preclinical studies suggests that other, non-withanolide components may also be involved [.

With its ability to enhance testosterone levels, this, in turn, is considered to contribute to an enhanced sexual desire.³ As we know ashwagandha helps to reduce stress levels in the body, it’s believed this could also have a correlation with sex drive and sexual performance.
