Ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb also known as Indian ginseng, may be the answer to today’s chronically over-stressed world. Stress depletes your body of critical nutrients, allows increased oxidation and free-radical damage and accelerates premature aging. Research shows that ashwagandha has an incredible ability to lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. In one clinical trial it was given to a group of chronically stressed animals, and their number of damaged cells dropped by 80%. In the largest human trial yet using ashwagandha, the herb was shown to reduce cortisol levels by up to 26%. Most amazing of all, ashwagandha disrupts tumor growth and stops cancer cells’ ability to reproduce. In one study it cut the number of tumors by a staggering 92%! Ashwagandha has many benefits - it has powerful anti-anxiety and anti-depressant properties, it protects the brain and nervous system and it can help reverse states of brain and nervous system degeneration, making it a potent defense against dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It also treats infertility and impotence, boosts the immune system and increases longevity. Raw, organic, 120 capsules.
