What It Actually Is
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an adaptogenic herb long used in Ayurvedic traditional medicine for stress and vitality support.
What Research Generally Shows
Ashwagandha has a relatively strong modern research base among adaptogens, including studies on stress markers and, in some trials, testosterone levels in men.
On The Dose
Ashwagandha studies commonly use 300-600mg of standardized extract daily — well above what an 82mg total blend split nine ways could realistically provide.
