Detailed description
Ashwagandha, Withania somnifera, also known as Indian ginseng, is an adaptogenic plant emblematic of the Ayurvedic tradition. Native to the dry regions of India, North Africa and the Middle East, its root has been used for centuries to support physical and mental balance.
Ashwagandha roots contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds, mainly withanolides, alkaloids (withanine, somniferin) and sitoindosides. These compounds are recognized for their antioxidant properties and their role in supporting overall vitality.
Ashwagandha is traditionally used to help manage stress and support concentration, stamina and emotional balance. It has also been studied for its effect on modulating immune responses and cognitive functions.
Studies highlight its role in reducing oxidative stress markers and supporting metabolic functions. Thanks to its adaptogenic profile, ashwagandha is now a central ingredient in formulations dedicated to general well-being.
