How might ashwagandha support the body?

Ashwagandha contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including a group known as withanolides. Extracts can differ in the plant parts used, their concentration, and how they are prepared. 

Researchers are studying how these compounds may relate to stress, anxiety, and sleep. Some studies suggest potential benefits, but different products, doses, and study designs make it difficult to apply the findings to every ashwagandha supplement.² 

What should you look for in an ashwagandha supplement?

Start with what you need, then choose a product that fits your life.

• Know your goal: Stress support, help with restlessness, or adaptogenic energy support? 
• Check the source: Look for the botanical name, Withania somnifera, and the plant part used. 
• Review the preparation: Whole-root powders and concentrated extracts are not interchangeable. 
• Check the amount: Compare the recommended daily dose, extract ratio, and withanolide information. 
• Consider the formula: Choose ashwagandha alone or combined with complementary ingredients. 
• Find the right format: Select a capsule, gummy, or combination that fits your routine. 
• Look for quality: Check for an eight-digit NPN and testing for identity, purity, and potency.³
