Ashwagandha root has been shown to protect brain cells from oxidative damage caused by exposure to stressors1. Ashwagandha reduced the number of neurons damaged due to oxidative stress by 80% - an effect attributed to protection against stress-induced free radicals in key areas of the brain2. In animals administered Ashwagandha, researchers found significant protection against the negative effects of chronic stress on memory, mood, sexual behavior, immune function,3 and antioxidant levels in the brain.4 In a placebo-controlled study, men and women given an extract of Ashwagandha root showed improved mental skills by performing better in reaction times, mental arithmetic and logical deductions5. Ashwagandha has also demonstrated benefits in signs of aging. In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study in y men aged 50-59 years, red blood cell counts and hemoglobin level were significantly increased, the decrease in nail calcium was significantly less, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate significantly decreased, and while the seated stature of the subjects significantly improved, 71.4% subjectively reported improvements in their sexual performance.6 References1.
