Ashwagandha is used to tone, support, and revitalize bodily functions. It has been revered over time for its dual capacity to energize and calm at the same time. Stress can cause fatigue, often manifesting as “hyper” signs like agitation and difficulty sleeping. By providing a nourishing, yet energizing effect, ashwagandha can support a healthy nervous system. With the use of ashwagandha, stress doesn?t impact the nervous system with such intensity, and the “hyper” signs of stress and agitation will naturally resolve over time. In this way, ashwagandha has a rejuvenating and calming influence on the nervous system and, consequentially, on the entire being. This quality of ashwagandha makes it a prime supplement to use in the toning and rejuvenation process.

In addition to its dual energizing/calming effect, ashwagandha offers a number of benefits:
? Supports a healthy immune system
? Calms mental processes
? Fosters healthy sleep patterns
? Benefits a healthy reproductive system in both males and females
? Supports sustained energy levels, strength, and vitality, including with physical activity
? Supports a healthy back and joints
? Promotes thyroid health
? Promotes healthy functioning of the adrenals
