Ashwagandha
.svg){kind=small}
Origin: A small evergreen shrub native to India and long used in Ayurveda as a rasāyana. Modern research uses standardized root extracts (withanolide-standardized).
How it works
Withanolides appear to:
- Modulate the HPA axis, reducing elevated morning cortisol.
- Support GABAergic signaling, aiding calm focus and sleep onset.
- Downshift inflammatory/oxidative pathways (e.g., NF-κB), supporting cognition and recovery.
- Support endocrine balance, with signals for testosterone under training stress and thyroid balance in subclinical cases.
Top 5 Clinically Supported Benefits
1) Stress & Anxiety ↓ (with Cortisol reduction)
A 2022 meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (≈12 RCTs, n~1,000) shows significant reductions in stress/anxiety scores and lower morning cortisol using standardized root extract, typically 300–600 mg/day over 8–12 weeks.
Study chips: Dose 300–600 mg/day • Duration 8–12 wk • Endpoints PSS-10, HAM-A, AM serum cortisol • Design Meta-analysis + DB-RCTs.
Key evidence: Akhgarjand et al., 2022 [1].
2) Sleep Quality ↑ (efficiency & onset)
In adults with insomnia/anxiety, 300 mg twice daily for 10 weeks improved sleep efficiency, total sleep time, and sleep-onset latency (actigraphy + validated scales) vs placebo.
Study chips: Dose 300 mg BID • Duration 10 wk • Endpoints actigraphy (SE, TST, SOL), sleep scales • Design DB-RCT.
Key evidence: Langade et al., 2019 [2].
(Additional DB-RCTs at 120 mg/day for 6 weeks also show actigraphy-verified gains.)
3) Strength, Muscle Size & Recovery ↑ (with training)
Resistance-trained men taking 300 mg twice daily for 8 weeks achieved greater 1-RM strength, increases in arm/chest size, higher testosterone, lower body fat, and reduced creatine kinase vs placebo.
Study chips: Dose 300 mg BID • Duration 8 wk • Endpoints 1-RM, anthropometry, testosterone, CK • Design DB-RCT.
Key evidence: Wankhede et al., 2015 [4].
4) Cognition & Memory ↑
Adults with mild cognitive impairment taking 300 mg twice daily for 8 weeks showed significant improvements in immediate/general memory, attention, processing speed, and executive function vs placebo.
Study chips: Dose 300 mg BID • Duration 8 wk • Endpoints standardized neurocognitive battery • Design DB-RCT.
Key evidence: Choudhary et al., 2017 [3].
5) Thyroid Support (Subclinical)
In adults with subclinical hypothyroidism (elevated TSH, normal T3/T4), 300 mg twice daily for 8 weeks improved TSH and peripheral T3/T4 vs placebo. (Clinical oversight advised for any thyroid condition.)
Study chips: Dose 300 mg BID • Duration 8 wk • Endpoints TSH, T3, T4 • Design DB-RCT.
Key evidence: Sharma et al., 2018 [5].
Summary
Human double-blind, placebo-controlled trials—and a 2022 meta-analysis—indicate that standardized Ashwagandha root extract can lower stress scores and morning cortisol, improve sleep efficiency and onset (actigraphy), enhance strength and recovery with training, and support cognition and subclinical thyroid balance. Most protocols used 300–600 mg/day for 8–12 weeks with endpoints like PSS-10/HAM-A, AM cortisol, actigraphy, 1-RM, CK, TSH/T3/T4.
Why choose Organica to reach those outcomes
- Root-only, withanolide-standardized extract to mirror trial profiles
- Clinically aligned dose per serving so you can target 300–600 mg/day
- Third-party COA on every lot (identity, withanolides by HPLC/UPLC, heavy metals, microbes, pesticides, solvents)
- cGMP small-batch manufacturing; clean formula (vegan capsules, no artificial fillers)
Use consistently as directed for 8–12 weeks and pair with sleep, nutrition, and training to match clinical conditions.

Stress Dialed Back
The calm crept in. I still had deadlines, but I wasn’t ping‑ponging between tasks.My partner noticed I was less reactive over small stuff. Sleep got steadier once I stayed consistent. It feels natural—no heavy eyelids, no weird aftertaste—just fewer spikes.

Easier to Focus Midday
Afternoons used to be a slog. Now I can finish deep work blocks without chasing distractions.

Part of My Nightly Ritual
I treat this like a pre-bed ritual—lights down, capsule, journal. The signal to relax is strong. It’s not a sedative; it just nudges my system toward quiet. My mornings are better for it. Good habit-builder.

Less Edge During Crunch Time
Crunch time used to fray my mood. Now I keep my footing, even when the calendar looks wild.

Ashwagandha - FAQs
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an adaptogenic herb whose active compounds—called withanolides—help balance the stress hormone cortisol and support the body’s ability to adapt to physical and mental strain.
Most people notice calmer mood and smoother energy within 10–14 days, with full benefits for sleep quality and stress resilience typically emerging after 4–6 weeks of daily use.
Simply swallow one capsule (600 mg) with water after breakfast or dinner; taking it with food enhances absorption and minimizes the chance of mild stomach upset.
No—ashwagandha contains no stimulants, and while it promotes deeper sleep at night, it generally delivers calm, steady daytime focus rather than sedation.
Ashwagandha is well tolerated, but if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have a thyroid disorder, or take sedatives or immunosuppressants, consult your healthcare professional before use.
Yes—clinical studies show daily use is both safe and effective for up to 12 months; many people incorporate ashwagandha into their long-term wellness routine for ongoing stress support.
