Ashwagandha
Ayurveda is a rich heritage of herbal practices describing the uses of over 600 plants. Currently, we are paying more and more attention to the valuable properties that are hidden in plant ingredients. The Ayurvedic tradition has a remarkable solution to the biological and psychological conditions caused by lifestyle – in its centuries-old history we can find Ashwagandha, a plant adaptogen . Adaptogens are herbs that improve stress responses and help the body adapt by normalizing physiological processes during times of increased stress . They have a stress-protective effect by regulating homeostasis. It all comes down to the conclusion that Ashwagandha can be a great support in periods of mental and nervous tension , contribute to optimal relaxation and emotional balance, and support our vitality .
Ashagandha is recommended during periods of increased physical activity
This plant can be a good choice for physically active people. Currently, the importance of plant ingredients is increasingly emphasized, which is also reflected in scientific publications. For example, the authors of the 2010 paper (Sandhu et al.) Stated in their conclusions that Ashwagandha may be useful in the case of generalized weakness and in improving the speed and strength of the muscles of the lower extremities and neuromuscular coordination . Additionally, this plant can help delay the onset of fatigue and thus extend the time to exhaustion and maintain potency for a relatively longer period.
What is the secret of Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha contains several active ingredients that may be responsible for various mechanisms of its action. These include, among others saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids and withanolides (i.e. steroidal lactones, ergoste derivatives). According to the study on the effect of supplementation with Withania somnifera on muscle strength and regeneration , its adaptogenic properties increase the possibility of being an effective ergogenic aid. This is due to the fact that physical exertion can be perceived as a form of stress , and increased physical performance of a person is a response to stress after using Ashwagandha (Wankhede et al., 2015). In the conclusions received in this study it was stated thatAshwagandha supplementation is associated with a significant increase in muscle mass and strength , and it has been suggested that its supplementation may be useful in conjunction with a resistance training program .
It is worth turning to plant support. Simple supplementation – Ashwagandha in the form of capsules.
