This includes combatting anxiety, depression, stress, and inflammation, improving energy and testosterone production and levels, brain and heart health and functions, exercise performance, and your mood, sleep cycle and quality, and blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and combatting diseases, infections, and health issues, like arthritis (1).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Taking ashwagandha in any way, shape or form will normally be able to help you enjoy the full range of these beneficial effects to some degree.

Chronically high cortisol levels can lead to feelings of significant anxiety and stress, as well as weight gain and disrupted sleep, both of which can cause stress in their own right.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As ashwagandha has been conclusively shown to reduce cortisol levels, supplementing with it will directly help to lower the body&#8217;s stress response and make it easier for both you and your body to cope with stress (2).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Regulates_The_Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal_HPA_Axis\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Regulates The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is what controls the body&#8217;s stress response. In times of great stress, the HPA axis signals the release of cortisol and other hormones to try and help with the situation. However, it often goes way too far and actually makes the issue worse.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ashwagandha supplementation helps to regulate the function of the HPA axis, preventing the body from overreacting to stressors and reducing the intensity of the stress response, enabling you to feel less stressed and react more calmly to any challenges that you face (3).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promotes_Calmness_Relaxation\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Promotes Calmness &amp; Relaxation<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ashwagandha is believed to have a calming effect on the human nervous system, due largely to its ability to balance neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and GABA.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As these play an important role in both mood regulation and relaxation, their management through the use of ashwagandha supplementation can produce a calming effect that reduces feelings of anxiety, irritability, stress, and nervousness (4)(5).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reduces_Anxiety\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Reduces Anxiety<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Research has shown that ashwagandha supplementation can help to reduce anxiety symptoms by influencing the central nervous system (6).
