{"product_id":"ashwagandha-adaptogen-formula","title":"Ashwagandha+","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome mornings you need to be calm and switched on at the same time. Those two things don't usually come in the same capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha is nearly always sold for the evening. Wind down, sleep better, switch off. That's a real use, but it isn't where most of us actually need the help. Stress tends to turn up on a Tuesday afternoon, not at eleven at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we made one for the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy ashwagandha usually ends up at bedtime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaken on its own, ashwagandha can leave you feeling a bit flat rather than genuinely calm. Put it in a formula with nothing else, or alongside other sedating ingredients, and bedtime really is the only sensible place for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've formulated Ashwagandha+ to go the other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePanax ginseng and maca root are in there for energy and stamina. L-arginine supports circulation. Shatavari is ashwagandha's traditional partner in Ayurveda, and the two have always worked well together. Vitamins D3, B6 and B12 handle the quieter background work that lets everything else do its job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalm, focused and energized. That's what our formula offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich ashwagandha, and how much of it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha isn't one single thing, which is worth knowing before you buy any of it. A lot of what's out there is plain root powder with no standardization, so there's no way to tell how much of the active compound you're actually getting. Some extracts use the leaf as well as the root, which brings the cost down and changes the profile. Traditional Ayurvedic preparation uses the root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe went with KSM-66. Root only, standardized to 5% withanolides, and sold only through its licensor, so every batch can be traced back to where it came from. It's one of the most thoroughly studied ashwagandha extracts you can buy, with more than twenty human trials behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo capsules give you 600 mg, which is the dose those trials used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything else is listed on the panel at its real amount. Nothing hidden inside a proprietary blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don't feel calmer. You feel harder to rattle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same things still happen. The difference is how far they knock you off course, and how fast you come back. Less bracing yourself before things. Less carrying them home afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKSM-66 ashwagandha, L-arginine, maca, Panax ginseng, shatavari, and vitamins D3, B6 and B12, in an HPMC vegetable capsule.
