Solgar S.F.P Ashwagandha Root Excract 60 caps

Ashwagandha is a plant native to the lands of India and Africa, mainly South Africa. Its curious name comes from its odor resembling that of a sweaty horse. In India, Ashwagandha played an important role in Ayurvedic medicine. In Portugal, Ashwagandha is commonly known as "Erva-Moura-Sonífera." Ayurvedic doctors used Ashwagandha (roots, leaves, and seeds) to treat external problems such as eczema, psoriasis, and skin ulceration. Ashwagandha has been widely used as a nerve tonic, sedative for certain mental disorders, and a specific remedy for rheumatic pain and joint inflammation typical of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Due to its numerous therapeutic activities, Ashwagandha is often referred to as "Indian Ginseng." Studies have shown that two Ashwagandha extracts have effectively reduced experimentally induced stress, with effects on anxiety, depression, and gastric ulcers. Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome showed promising results with a 45% improvement in their symptoms. Ashwagandha has also been used in cases of fibromyalgia. Over the past 60 years, many researchers have studied the effects of Ashwagandha's constituents, particularly the withanolides. These substances, belonging to the group of steroidal lactones, have shown surprising biological effects, including protection against chemically induced hepatotoxicity and influence on cardiac muscle contraction and hypotensive activity. In general, the Erva-Moura-Sonífera dietary supplement may be recommended as a supportive aid in improving symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, stress, microbial infections, neoplasms, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular function.
