Ashwagandha also supports healthy thyroid function by supporting the adrenal glands.* When selecting an herbal supplement, one needs to consider its base of scientific research, the breadth of historical uses that have occurred often over millennia and the quality of the botanical being used. It's also good to truly know the journey that your supplement has taken before it was bottled. We call this "seed to bottle" – or, how was it grown, harvested, shipped and processed. Oregon's Wild Harvest has its own farm in Central Oregon that grows many types of herbs, including Ashwagandha (shown below).* Ashwagandha: Ayurveda's Most Highly Acclaimed Adaptogen Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is not just another adaptogenic herb; the clinical applications for this herb are absolutely amazing. Both self-directed consumers and the scientific community have finally discovered the amazing and broad benefits of Ashwagandha.* Adrenal/Stress Support * As we adopt new stressors we need to help our body adapt. Ashwagandha confers the overall ability to support adrenal function as an adaptogen. In addition, it has also been shown in three studies to help lower the stress hormone called cortisol, that when elevated, can lower immune function and cause difficulty sleeping. Ashwagandha helps to lower the effects of stress, including fatigue and the temporary mental strain.* Endurance/Stamina Support * Fitness is so important, as far too many of us have sedentary jobs and lifestyles. When we finish our daily obligations, we are often tired, and pursuing exercise when one's energy is low is a real challenge. Ashwagandha can help rally the energy needed to get up and get going.* Healthy Blood Sugar Metabolism * Ashwagandha supports healthy blood sugar metabolism. Controlling stress and supporting adrenal function are essential steps, along with diet and lifestyle, to support healthy blood sugar metabolism.* * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
