Ashwagandha is one of the most revered and widely used herbs in traditional Ayurveda, the medicine of ancient India, and is the ideal herbal supplement for people dealing with stress and fatigue. Also known as "Indian ginseng," it has a long history as a rejuvenating tonic that supports energy and vitality.
In North America, ashwagandha is increasingly known as an adaptogen, a plant that protects the body from the effects of stress. Stress, especially chronic stress, can lead to digestive problems, low vitamin C levels, adrenal exhaustion, decreased libido and sexual function, low physical endurance, and increased anxiety. Ashwagandha reduces these effects of stress, is useful for preserving mental energy, and supports the immune system. Gandha-600 is an ashwagandha extract, duly standardized into its two main anti-inflammatory and anti-stress components: withanolides and sitoindosides.
It is important to always standardize plant extracts to ensure reliable and consistent results for users. Withanolides were the first active compounds discovered in ashwagandha. Recently, a group of compounds derived from withanolides, the sitoindosides, was discovered and appears to be responsible for much of this herb's anti-stress and anti-anxiety activities. AOR's Gandha-600 is standardized to withanolides and sitoindosides. Just one capsule per day is enough to achieve the recommended dose: 600 mg of a powerful 10:1 extract.
