Ashwagandha is an ancient herb derived from a small shrub native to India and parts of the Middle East. It's often referred to as "Indian Ginseng" and is renowned for its adaptogenic properties. This means it helps the body adapt to stress and promotes overall well-being. Ashwagandha has been traditionally for various health benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving quality of sleep, and enhancing cognitive function.

The most widely-known benefit of ashwagandha is its ability to promote mental calm, with subjects in several clinical studies reporting significant reductions in stress and anxiety [1] [2].

Studies have demonstrated other benefits relating to mental wellness, such as improved sleep quality [3], increased attention span [4], and heightened focus, memory, and reaction times during cognition and psychomotor tests [5].

In addition to mental wellness, ashwagandha has also exhibited a host of other therapeutic benefits. This includes promoting physical strength, recovery, and athletic performance [6], improved sexual function in women [7], reduced blood sugar, fat, and risk of type 2 diabetes [8], and improved cardiovascular health [9].

Our gummies contain real, naturally-grown ashwagandha that is handpicked straight from the herb’s homeland of India. Each of our gummies contain 600mg of the highest concentration, most bioavailable ashwagandha extract in the world! (This basically means our ashwagandha is strong, pure, and absorbed into the body with maximum efficiency).

The gummy itself contains only sustainably sourced ingredients. This means NO gelatine, NO palm oil, NO GMOs, NO cruelty, NO soy, NO gluten, NO cruelty, and NO artificial colours, preservatives, or sweeteners. Instead of gelatine we use pectin (which is derived from citrus fruits) and instead of palm oil we use coconut oil (which has low environmental impact). Say hello to gummies, done the right way.

Putting all the hype to one side, the honest truth about ashwagandha is that it works very well for some people, but, like all things, it is not suited to absolutely everyone. Some people report less of an effect, and others report no effect at all. It varies person-to-person.

That being said, our gummies contain pure, high quality ashwagandha extract and receive excellent customer feedback, so, if you were to give ashwagandha a try, our product is definitely the one to go with (not biased, of course😜).
