Ashwagandha: this stuff WORKS!

[mrhankey87]

Yo! I’m almost at the end of my first bottle of PEScience TruMulti, after years of Orange Triad.

I do feel the benefits of ashwagandha a lot, especially being horny 24/7 (happened rarely before). Overall I have better mood and feel more relaxed overall. Good job PES!

Never used!
Gia I take Ashwagandha NOW FOOD, and I find myself great! It really improves mood.
To be taken strictly on a full stomach, I feel it better.

Happy to hear you're liking it! One of many benefits

 

[Dersu86]

Well I always take Trumulti with food, so no idea how it works by itself.

I actually have not tried it yet but I plan on ordering it and trying it! A lot of good reviews on it.

 

[cheftepesh1]

I take about 1g a day in a divided dose. I haven't tried it with my multi like you have but I use premium powders version. It's low cost and I already had a stock pile of vitamins.

KSM 66 is the best way to go

Ashwagandha is good stuff. It is hard to beat Jarrow's for the price. I think everyone should supplement with it. Not only for its cognitive and mood boosting benefits, but also because it does help with performance and can increase testosterone.

If healthy people take 3-5 ashwagandha capsules every day, their muscle strength and lean body mass increase and their fat percentage decreases. In addition, taking this herb, which is used in the ayurveda tradition, reduces the chance of cardiovascular disease. Researchers at the ICMR Advanced Centre for Reverse Pharmacology in Traditional Medicine discovered this.

If infertile men take three capsules containing Ashwagandha – Latin name Withania somnifera – every day for a couple of months, their testosterone level rises by 17 percent and their sperm cell concentration increases by 167 percent. Doctors at Mahalaxmi Clinic in Mumbai, India write about it in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

This study reports that ashwagandha supplementation is associated with significant increases in muscle mass and strength and suggests that ashwagandha supplementation may be useful in conjunction with a resistance training program.

Withania somnifera may therefore be useful for generalized weakness and to improve speed and lower limb muscular strength and neuro-muscular co-ordination. Terminalia arjuna may prove useful to improve cardio-vascular endurance and lowering systolic blood pressure. Both drugs appear to be safe for young adults when given for mentioned dosage and duration.

Ashwagandha improved the cardiorespiratory endurance of the elite athletes.

The percentage of fat declined in both groups, but the ashwagandha users lost more than the members of the placebo group. The researchers used the bioelectrical impedance method to measure the fat percentage. [We have our doubts about the reliability of this method, as we also do about the method the researchers used to measure muscle mass.]

The treatment group that was given the high-concentration full-spectrum Ashwagandha root extract exhibited a significant reduction (P<0.0001) in scores on all the stress-assessment scales on Day 60, relative to the placebo group. The serum cortisol levels were substantially reduced (P=0.0006) in the Ashwagandha group, relative to the placebo group. The adverse effects were mild in nature and were comparable in both the groups. No serious adverse events were reported.

The results seen here are likely due to a variety of effects of ashwagandha, but its adaptogenic properties probably played a major role in its ability to increase speed and strength. Ashwagandha has many beneficial effects that make it worthwhile for athletes to supplement with, and the direct ergogenic benefits shown here make it an even more valuble addition to the supplement plan of any athlete

There is a reason why companies are putting this in their supplements (AlphaMax XT and M-Test). And you have the option of adding it into your stack for a very cheap price.

I’ve tried OL ash and didn’t notice much. Is there any specific type people recommend? I’ve done zero research on this and bought it bc it was half price like a year ago.

 

[danielmoo]

One of my favorites. Also, I'm a fan of using either KSM-66 or Sensoril depending on which use I'm looking for.

Ash in general is, or OL type is? Also, what are the effects of each different type?

I've never had any experience with OL's product. Here's a good link to explain what I mean:

That’s incredibly helpful, thank you for posting

 

[Young Gotti]

never tried it by itself, it's been in some supplements that I've used and never thought much of the supplements

may have to buy some bulk and see what sup

 

[Alex281]

I tried OLs Ash and it made me super sleepy, even at low dose

 

[mbonheur]

For some reason, I like sensoril better than Ksm66.

 

[slk28]

Gives me fatigue eventually but then i worked out that it could be getting my cortisol levels really low.

 

[TrainerTone]

I've only had it in a couple Blue Star products but did notice a nice uptick in libido
