| Scientists have discovered that the
Indian herb ashwagandha counters some of the oxidative
damage generated by nervous tension.1
Ashwagandha has been shown to confer improvements in
well-being and a healthy outlook.2
In a large clinical trial, ashwagandha
reduced levels of the hormone cortisol by up to 26 percent,
while lowering fasting blood sugar levels and improving
lipid profiles.3
Subjects who took the standardized ashwagandha extract
reported improvements in energy, sleep, and well being, as
well as diminished fatigue.3
Additional research suggests that ashwagandha confers
neuroprotection by supporting the regeneration of axons and
dendrites, nerve cell components that support brain and
nervous system function.4,5
Life Extension members have been obtaining
a moderate dose of ashwagandha extract in the Cognitex
formula. In response to findings indicating that higher
potencies may produce greater benefits, Life Extension has
formulated Optimized Ashwagandha Extract.
The suggested dose provides 250 mg
standardized, patented, nonstimulating Sensoril® Ashwagandha
Extract. |
