What is Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha, (Withania somnifera) also known as ‘indian ginseng’ or ‘winter cherry’, is an ancient medicinal herb that has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. The adaptogenic effects of ashwagandha make it an excellent herbal supplement for helping the body manage stress and mild anxiety.
What are the benefits of Ashwagandha?
What is Ashwagandha good for?
Ashwagandha is known as an adaptogen which helps the body adapt to stress and stay in balance. It is a herbal supplement that is traditionally used in Western medicine to help calm the mind, soothe nerves, relieve nervous tension and reduce symptoms of mild anxiety.
Why does our Ashwagandha get such amazing results?
The highest quality Ashwagandha Root around
Our Ashwagandha is a whole food containing the full spectrum of nutrients and vitamins found naturally in this incredible plant. It is also 100% pure.
It is freeze dried slowly to ensure maximum nutrient density.
It is grown to certified organic standards meaning it is independently checked (from farm to bottle) to ensure it does not come into contact with any chemicals.
Most Ashwagandha supplements are irradiated, but ours is not.
How quickly does Ashwagandha work for anxiety?
Help the body + mind to relax naturally
This really depends on the individual. For some people the benefits are within an hour, for other people it can take longer. Some people do not realise the benefits until they stop taking it. It all depends on the individual!
Is our Ashwagandha root irradiated?
Our Ashwagandha is guaranteed not to be irradiated. Unfortunately the majority of other brands are.
Who should not take Ashwagandha?
We don’t recommend that people with an auto immune condition take Ashwagandha as it can trigger the immune system.
Are there any fillers or additives in the product?
Our Ashwagandha is 100% pure whole food, there are no preservatives, fillers or additives.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
Yes our Ashwagandha is suitable for vegans
How can I enhance absorption of Ashwagandha?
To enhance absorption, take your Ashwgandha with meals, this will improve the absorption of the fat soluble compounds.
Also having black pepper in those meals will further enhance the effectiveness. Its an added bonus but not necessary.
WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS....
The study investigates the potential of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera ) root extract as a safe and effective adjunct to SSRIs for treating Generalised Anxiety Disorder
Fuladi S, Emami SA, Mohammadpour AH, Karimani A, Manteghi AA, Sahebkar A. Assessment of the Efficacy of Withania somnifera Root Extract in Patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A Randomized Double-blind Placebo- Controlled Trial. Curr Rev Clin Exp Pharmacol. 2021;16(2):191-196. doi: 10.2174/1574884715666200413120413. PMID: 32282308.
This article discusses the need for effective and long-term treatments for anxiety disorders, which are prevalent in the general population. The study aims to evaluate the potential of Withania somnifera (W. somnifera) root extract as an alternative therapy to standard treatments for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
The study involved 40 patients with confirmed GAD diagnoses who were randomly divided into two groups: a treatment group receiving W. somnifera extract (1g/day) and a placebo group. All patients were already on treatment with Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and took either the extract or a placebo daily for six weeks.
The Hamilton anxiety rating scale was used to assess the severity of GAD symptoms at the beginning of the trial and at the second and sixth weeks. The results showed a significant improvement in the treatment group, with a 14-unit reduction in Hamilton anxiety rating scores compared to an 8-unit reduction in the placebo group. Additionally, significant differences were observed in the treatment group at the second and sixth weeks in reducing Generalized Anxiety Disorder symptoms. Importantly, no adverse effects were observed with the use of the extract.
In conclusion, the study suggests that W. somnifera extract may be a safe and effective adjunct to SSRIs in treating GAD, with well-tolerated effects. This herbal remedy shows promise as a potential treatment option for GAD with fewer side effects, offering hope for individuals seeking alternatives to conventional treatments

A meta-analysis found that taking specific ashwagandha root at various doses for 6-12 weeks can modestly improve overall sleep, including sleep quality, latency, duration, wake time after sleep onset, and efficiency
Langade D, Kanchi S, Salve J, Debnath K, Ambegaokar D. Efficacy and Safety of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Root Extract in Insomnia and Anxiety: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study. Cureus. 2019 Sep 28;11(9):e5797. doi: 10.7759/cureus.5797. PMID: 31728244; PMCID: PMC6827862.
A meta-analysis found that taking specific ashwagandha root extracts at various doses for 6-12 weeks can modestly improve overall sleep, including sleep quality, latency, duration, wake time after sleep onset, and efficiency, especially in individuals with insomnia, higher doses (at least 600 mg daily), and longer treatment durations (at least 8 weeks), although there is some heterogeneity in the included studies; additionally, a specific ashwagandha extract at 125 mg daily for 6 weeks led to a 72% improvement in sleep quality in patients with non-restorative sleep, along with small to moderate improvements in total sleep time, sleep latency, and awakenings when compared to a placebo.

Ingesting ashwagandha orally appears to have the potential to alleviate stress and potentially mitigate stress-induced weight gain.
Does Ashwagandha supplementation have a beneficial effect on the management of anxiety and stress? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Camellia Akhgarjand, Farzaneh Asoudeh, Amir Bagheri, Zahra Kalantar, Zahra Vahabi, Sakineh Shab-bidar, Hamid Rezvani, Kurosh Djafarian
A meta-analysis of seven clinical studies involving healthy adults, individuals with chronic stress, or those with psychiatric conditions indicates that taking daily doses of ashwagandha ranging from 240 mg to 1000 mg for 8-12 weeks can effectively reduce stress levels compared to a placebo, with various studies reporting reductions in perceived stress levels, cortisol levels, and even stress-related weight gain.

Verified CustomerI have taken this for a week now - one thing I like is the information provided when you purchase these are a newbie. For eg they don't recommend taking Ashwagandha for longer than a week at a time. The main reason was to boost my immune system at a time where I typically get sick. So far I haven't! Could be many factors, but it's the only thing I've really done differently to in the past. Shipping was very quick. Would definitely recommend Forest Superfoods in general.

This is by far the best ashwaganda I’ve used. Knowing that Forest Super Foods goes straight to the source and doesn’t use fillers or an extract of the ashwaganda root is the reason I pick them over any other supplement. I rely heavily on their product and it never lets me down.
Very calming, I’ve tried other brands and this one certainly tops the lot.
