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?

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.

What are the symptoms of high cortisol?

Cortisol is your body's primary stress hormone, produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress, danger, or pressure. In short bursts it's essential - it sharpens focus, boosts energy, and helps you respond to threats. But when cortisol stays elevated for weeks or months due to chronic stress, it starts working against you.

Common symptoms of high cortisol include:

Persistent fatigue - despite sleeping enough, you wake up tired or crash mid-afternoon

Anxiety and irritability - a constant sense of being "on edge" or overwhelmed even by small things

Poor sleep - difficulty falling asleep or waking at 3–4am with a racing mind

Weight gain, particularly around the belly - high cortisol actively encourages fat storage around the abdomen, regardless of diet

Brain fog and poor concentration - difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, or feeling mentally slow

Cravings for sugar and carbohydrates - cortisol raises blood sugar, which leads to energy crashes and cravings

Weakened immune system - getting sick more frequently or taking longer to recover

Low mood - prolonged high cortisol is closely linked to feelings of low motivation and mild depression

Muscle weakness or tension - particularly in the neck, shoulders and jaw

Skin issues - slow wound healing, or skin that looks dull and tired

Many people experience several of these at once without realising they're connected - and chalk it up to being busy or getting older.

Can you reduce cortisol naturally?
Yes. Lifestyle factors like sleep, exercise, and reducing caffeine all help. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the most well-researched natural supplements for cortisol reduction.

Multiple clinical trials have shown it can significantly lower serum cortisol levels - in one study by up to 30% - after 8 weeks of consistent use. As an adaptogen, it works by helping your body regulate its own stress response rather than simply masking symptoms.

Our Ashwagandha is TGA listed for stress and mild anxiety relief, and contains 100% pure organic whole root - no fillers, no extracts - freeze-dried to preserve the full spectrum of active compounds.

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 Ashwagandha safe to take daily?

Ashwagandha has been used traditionally for centuries and is generally well tolerated when taken as directed.

There have been rare reports of liver-related side effects, most commonly associated with highly concentrated extracts or low-quality products.

Forest Super Foods Ashwagandha is:
- Made from 100% whole root (not extract)
- Freeze-dried to preserve natural compounds
- Independently tested for purity

If you have a pre-existing condition or are taking medication, it’s always best to consult your healthcare professional before use.

What's the difference between ashwagandha capsules, tablets, pills and gummies?

Ashwagandha is available in several forms, and the differences come down to how they're processed, what's added to them, and how your body absorbs them.

Powder is the most natural form - it's simply the dried, ground root with nothing added. It's versatile (you can mix it into smoothies, warm milk, or food) but has a strong, earthy, bitter taste that many people find unpleasant. Quality varies enormously depending on whether it's been heat-dried or freeze-dried, and whether it's been extracted or is whole root.

Tablets are compressed powder, but to hold their shape they almost always require binders and fillers - things like magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, or talc. This means you're getting less actual ashwagandha per dose, and potentially ingesting additives your body doesn't need.

Pills is a general term people use interchangeably with both tablets and capsules, but technically pills are an older solid dosage form that is rarely used in modern supplements. Most products people call "ashwagandha pills" are either tablets or capsules.

Capsules are the cleanest delivery format. The powder is enclosed in a shell (either gelatine or, in our case, vegan cellulose) with no need for binders, fillers or compression agents. This means the full dose is pure ashwagandha root - nothing else. Capsules also mask the bitter taste, are easy to swallow, and give you a precise, consistent dose every time.

Gummies usually contain only a small amount Ashwagandha (in extract form) and mostly consists of sweeteners and binders.

91% of buyers experienced reduced stress and anxiety from taking Forest Super Foods Ashwagandha root.

Our Ashwagandha isn't like all the others. It's a whole food. Free of alcohol, water and fillers. Grown to certified organic standards and freeze dried to lock in nutrients.


Scientifically shown to reduce stress and anxiety

Ashwagandha Root has been shown to reduce Cortisol (the "stress" hormone) levels in the body helping you to feel less stressed and less anxious.

100% Pure + Organic

Most Ashwagandha on the market contains fillers and is grown with chemicals. Ours is grown to certified organic standards and is guaranteed 100% free of fillers and isn't irradiated on entry to Australia.

Freeze dried to lock in nutrients

Freeze drying has been shown to be nutritionally superior to all other drying methods. It means our dried Ashwagandha is (almost) nutritionally equivalent to consuming it fresh.

We love the Ashwagandha, we tried a substitute when we ran out recently and it was not comparable to this, it's is part of our daily regime.

Customer photo review of Mini Pure Ashwagandha Root Capsules

I have to say that anyone getting supplements from forest superfoods should really do their research. I say this because buying any supplement requires meticulous research in order to reach the goals that you want achieve with supplementation. Especially, from a place like forest superfoods who are known for selling very high quality supplements in its natural form which can be very potent. The ashwagandha that I have frequently purchased is very effective in managing stress, anxiety, improved cognitive function ,increasing energy levels and . However, from my experience the key to achieving these results is in the timing. Highly recommend it and would never buy from elsewhere after trying supplements at forest superfoods

I started taking this a couple of months ago after trying the one from the chemist which did nothing 😐 . I was attracted to the fact that this is pure with no added extras and the fact that it was an Australian own company. Best thing I've ever done, I take this twice a day and it's helped with my moods, my ability to think rationally and overall wellness. I've recommended this product to many of my friends and they love it.
