Life Extension
Optimized Ashwagandha Extract (Stimulant Free)
60 vegetarian capsules
Item Catalog Number: 00888

Scientists have discovered that the Indian herb ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) counters some of the oxidative damage generated by nervous tension.44 Ashwagandha has been shown to confer improvements in well-being and a healthy outlook.45

In a large clinical trial, ashwagandha reduced levels of the hormone cortisol by up to 26%, while maintaining already normal blood sugar levels and already normal lipid profiles.46 Subjects who took the standardized ashwagandha extract reported improvements in energy, sleep and well-being, as well as diminished fatigue.46 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.47,48

The suggested dose provides 250 mg standardized, patented, non-stimulating Sensoril® Ashwagandha Extract.

Life Extension® members obtain a moderate dose of ashwagandha extract in our Cognitex formula. In response to findings indicating that higher potencies may produce greater benefits, Life Extension has formulated Optimized Ashwagandha Extract.
