Used in Ayurvedic medicine and other forms of traditional medicine in Asia for decades, it is said to provide numerous health benefits for the human body.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years it has become very popular in supplements, as clinical studies have proven it can offer benefits like reducing anxiety, depression, stress, inflammation, arthritis, diseases, infections, and other health issues, and boosting testosterone and energy production and levels, exercise performance, brain and heart health and functions, mood, sleep latency, cycle and quality, and blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels (1).<\/p>\n<p>We recently analyzed all these benefits in two other articles that we published, which can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/articles\/surprising-benefits-of-ashwagandha\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/articles\/five-more-surprising-benefits-of-ashwagandha\/\">here<\/a> for anyone wanting to study them in more detail.<\/p>\n\r\n    <!-- ASHWAGANDHA CTA-->\r\n    <style media=\"screen\">\r\n     .reviews--advert--v2 {\r\n       margin-top: 1.5rem;\r\n       margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\r\n     }\r\n     .reviews--advert--v2 .ashwagandha-bottle {\r\n       max-width: 100%; \r\n       width: 100%;\r\n     }\r\n     @media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\r\n       .reviews--advert--v2 .ashwagandha-bottle {\r\n         max-width: unset;\r\n         width: 130%;\r\n       }\r\n     }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <div class=\"reviews--advert--v2\">\r\n      <div class=\"columns is-centered is-vcentered\">\r\n        <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-3-tablet\">\r\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/static\/frontend\/Roarambition\/Primemale\/en_US\/images\/single-ashwagandha\/ashwagandha-hero-product.png\" alt=\"Prime Male Ashwagandha Product Bottle\" class=\"product ashwagandha-bottle\" style=\"\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-8-tablet\">\r\n          <h3 class=\"has-text-weight-bold is-size-small zmb\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prime_Male_Ashwagandha\"><\/span>Prime Male Ashwagandha<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\t\t      <p class=\"grey-text is-relative is-marginless is-size-xxsmall\">The Best Cortisol Regulator to Banish Insomnia and Boost Sexual Performance.<\/p>\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/ashwagandha#PAS01F0\" class=\"btn btn--redgradient is-uppercase zmb\">Order Now<\/a>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  \n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ashwagandha_And_Gym_Performance_How_Does_Ashwagandha_Boost_Your_Training\"><\/span>Ashwagandha And Gym Performance: How Does Ashwagandha Boost Your Training?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Increases_Strength_and_Muscle_Mass\"><\/span>1. Increases Strength and Muscle Mass<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Studies show that ashwagandha supplementation can significantly increase gains in both muscle strength and muscle size, particularly in people who follow strenuous resistance training programs.<\/p>\n<p>For example, one 2015 study found that men who took ashwagandha for 8 weeks while regularly working out gained significantly more muscle mass and strength than those who took a placebo (2).<\/p>\n<p>These increases in muscle mass and strength will help fuel future workouts, increasing the results of those too and making it essentially an endless cycle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/articles\/should-i-use-free-weights-or-machines\/\">Learn About Muscle Building With Our &#8220;Ask a PT Series&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Speeds_Up_Recovery_and_Reduces_Muscle_Damage\"><\/span>2. Speeds Up Recovery and Reduces Muscle Damage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ashwagandha possesses potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which contribute to its muscle-protective effects. This will reduce or even prevent exercise-induced muscle damage, soreness, and inflammation, helping to improve a person\u2019s recovery times between workouts.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, you will be able to train far more often, which enhances your body\u2019s capacity to improve. Not only that, but it will also help to prevent injuries to other parts of the body, such as the joints, which could prevent you from training and lead to you losing the gains that you have already made (3).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Reduces_Stress_and_Cortisol\"><\/span>3. Reduces Stress and Cortisol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As a powerful adaptogen, one of the most popular benefits of ashwagandha supplementation is that it can help the body manage stress, which it achieves by lowering the production of cortisol, a hormone known as the stress hormone (4).<\/p>\n<p>Studies show that lower cortisol levels can help prevent muscle breakdown (catabolism) and promote a better anabolic balance. This will lead to improved muscle growth, workout performance, and fat loss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/articles\/how-ashwagandha-reduces-cortisol\/\">Ashwagandha and Cortisol<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Improves_Endurance_and_VO%E2%82%82_Max\"><\/span>4. Improves Endurance and VO\u2082 Max<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some research suggests that ashwagandha supplementation may enhance cardiovascular endurance by increasing a person\u2019s VO\u2082 max, which is the maximum amount of oxygen that your body can use during periods of intense exercise (5).<\/p>\n<p>This is useful for both aerobic performance and stamina during long gym sessions and enables you to train harder for much longer. This will also help to reduce fatigue, which could prevent people from engaging in physical activity as often as they otherwise would.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Boosts_Testosterone_and_Anabolic_Hormone_Levels_Especially_In_Men\"><\/span>5. Boosts Testosterone and Anabolic Hormone Levels, Especially In Men<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Several studies have shown that ashwagandha can greatly increase testosterone production and levels, as well as the production and levels of other anabolic hormones, like Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).<\/p>\n<p>These effects appear to be particularly prominent in men, especially those with low or borderline-low levels (6). As higher testosterone levels can lead to far better muscle building and energy levels, it can also significantly boost a person\u2019s workout performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/articles\/ashwagandha-and-testosterone\/\">Learn More About Ashwagandha and Testosterone Here<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Enhances_Mental_Focus_and_Energy_Levels\"><\/span>6. Enhances Mental Focus and Energy Levels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ashwagandha can aid brain health and functions in many ways, including enhancing a person\u2019s mental clarity and focus. When combined with its ability to reduce fatigue, this can support far more motivated and consistent workouts, all of which will help to boost your workout performance in general (7).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Helps_You_Sleep_Better\"><\/span>7. Helps You Sleep Better<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps the most popular benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to produce improvements in a person\u2019s sleep quality and cycle. It achieves this by regulating the body&#8217;s stress response and stress hormone levels, reducing anxiety, promoting relaxation and calmness, and modulating the production of certain neurotransmitters, such as GABA.<\/p>\n<p>This will lead to improvements in all facets of a person\u2019s sleep-wake cycle, including their sleep latency, sleep duration, sleep quality, and circadian rhythm. This will help you feel more rested and avoid getting fatigued, and your body will recover far more effectively, all of which makes it much easier to complete effective workouts (8).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/articles\/ashwagandha-and-sleep\/\">Ashwagandha and Sleep: Everything You Need to Know<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Raises_Energy_Levels\"><\/span>8. Raises Energy Levels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Some studies show that ashwagandha supplementation can improve a person\u2019s mitochondrial function through a combination of reducing stress and improving their sleep cycle and muscle strength.<\/p>\n<p>As the mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the human body, this will enhance your cellular energy production and overall energy levels. As a result, you will be able to perform far longer and more strenuous workouts, leading to significant improvements in your exercise performance (9).<\/p>\n\r\n    <!-- ASHWAGANDHA CTA-->\r\n    <style media=\"screen\">\r\n     .reviews--advert--v2 {\r\n       margin-top: 1.5rem;\r\n       margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\r\n     }\r\n     .reviews--advert--v2 .ashwagandha-bottle {\r\n       max-width: 100%; \r\n       width: 100%;\r\n     }\r\n     @media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {\r\n       .reviews--advert--v2 .ashwagandha-bottle {\r\n         max-width: unset;\r\n         width: 130%;\r\n       }\r\n     }\r\n    <\/style>\r\n    <div class=\"columns is-centered\">\r\n      <div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-3-tablet\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/static\/frontend\/Roarambition\/Primemale\/en_US\/images\/single-ashwagandha\/ashwagandha-hero-product.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"product ashwagandha-bottle\" style=\"\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"column is-full-mobile is-8-tablet\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"columns is-centered is-multiline\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"column is-12-mobile is-12-tablet is-12-desktop\">\r\n        \t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-center caps zmb\">\r\n          \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-size-xxl has-text-weight-bold blue\">Tested and Trusted<\/span><br>\r\n          \t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"is-size-xl has-text-weight-bold\">By Over 1 Million Men<\/span>\r\n        \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n      \t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.primemale.com\/ashwagandha#PAS01F0\" class=\"btn btn--redgradient is-uppercase zmb zmt\">Order Now<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span>References<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[1] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/ashwagandha\">https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/ashwagandha<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[2] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10147008\/\">https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10147008\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[3] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4658772\/\">https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4658772\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[4] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/37832082\/\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/37832082\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[5] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/38988644\/\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/38988644\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[6] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30854916\/\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30854916\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[7] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8632422\/\">https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8632422\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[8] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34559859\/\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34559859\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[9] &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/39498904\/\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/39498904\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The link between ashwagandha and gym performance was not commonly talked about for a long time, as while many people appreciated that it could be useful in this area, it was often felt that boosting a person\u2019s workout was not one of ashwagandha\u2019s primary functions.
