Bulk Super Foods Organic Ashwagandha Root Powder
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the most important herbs in Ayurveda and is traditionally used as an adaptogen. An adaptogen is a natural substance that helps the body to deal with stress. “Ashwagandha” is Sanskrit for “smell of the horse,” which refers to both the herb’s scent and its potential ability to increase strength. The Ashwagandha plant is a small shrub with yellow flowers that’s native to India and Southeast Asia. Extracts or powder from the plant’s root or leaves are used to treat a variety of conditions, including anxiety and fertility issues.
Bulk Super Foods Ashwagandha Root Powder is made from organic dried roots of the Ashwagandha plant and is free from artificial sweeteners and other harmful additives.
Alleviates Stress and Anxiety
Ashwagandha may have a calming effect on anxiety symptoms. The powder appears to help control mediators of stress, including heat shock proteins (Hsp70), cortisol, and stress-activated c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK-1). It also reduces the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, a system in your body that regulates the stress response.
Bone Health
Ashwagandha may act as a pain reliever, preventing pain signals from traveling along the central nervous system. It may also have some anti-inflammatory properties. For this reason, some research has shown it to be effective in treating forms of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis.
Reduces Blood Sugar Levels
Ashwagandha root powder may have some benefits for people with diabetes or high blood sugar levels. It’s believed that certain compounds within Ashwagandha, including one called Withaferin A (WA), have powerful antidiabetic activity and may help stimulate your cells to take in glucose from your bloodstream.
Improves Sleep Quality
Many people take Ashwagandha to promote restful sleep. Taking Ashwagandha powder has a significant and positive effect on overall sleep quality. It also reduces people’s anxiety levels and helps them feel more alert when they are awake.
