We at\nbiohacking collective have decided to make our own version and this is something\nreally unique. As with our other tinctures this is a spagyrical extraction done\nin sub atmospheric conditions. The low pressure reduces the demand of heat and\nkeeps all the valuable plant compounds from being destroyed in the process. The\nnext step in this process includes the reintroduction of the purified minerals\nfrom the ash of the plant. This makes this tincture extra bio available and potent.\nThe tincture is also nano emulsified with ultrasonic technology to make it even\nmore easily accessible to the body.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n So which\nare the main benefits of ashwagandha?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ashwagandha\nhas adaptogenic properties this means that it can modulate and help regulate\ncertain processes in the body. The main thing for me when I look at the literature\nseems to be the reduction in stress by lowering cortisol levels in the blood\n(1). Cortisol acts as an antagonist to testosterone so decreased cortisol will\nhelp keeping the testosterone levels high.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ashwagandha\nalso seems to help with other stress markers and I found this interesting study\nshowing that it could help against stress related male infertility (2).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is\nalso studies that shows that Ashwagandha could help with increasing muscle strength\n(2). In this study 57 males were included in the age between 18-50. Subjects in\nthe treatment group consumed 300 mg of ashwagandha root extract twice daily,\nwhile the control group consumed starch placebos. The groups were using resistance\nexercise for 8 weeks and then the results were measured. And strength had\nincreased more in the group taking 300mg of Ashwagandha daily, however muscle\nsize hadn\u2019t increased compared to the control group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final\nstudy I looked at is about Ashwagandha effects on the immune system. In this\nstudy the saw an increase in both T-cells and natural killer cells after\ningestion of Ashwagandha (4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23439798<\/a>\n(1)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19789214<\/a><\/em><\/strong> ( 2)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/26609282<\/a><\/em><\/strong> ( 3)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19388865<\/a><\/em><\/strong> (4)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ashwagandha comes from the root of the plant Withania somnifera.
