About

L'ashwagandha est l'adaptogène le plus soutenu scientifiquement pour les résultats cognitifs et liés au stress. Ses withanolides réduisent la neuroinflammation, favorisent l'activité mimétique du GABA et soutiennent la régénération neuronale. Dans un essai contrôlé randomisé en double aveugle, 240 mg/jour pendant 60 jours ont réduit significativement l'anxiété, avec des améliorations modérées de l'attention, de la fonction exécutive et de la vitesse de traitement de l'information.

How It Works

Adaptogenic root that modulates the HPA axis to reduce cortisol levels; withanolides exhibit neuroprotective properties by reducing neuroinflammation, promoting GABA-mimetic activity, and supporting neuronal regeneration.
