A Plant, a Story

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a plant native to India and parts of Africa. Its traditional use is part of a holistic vision of body balance, where adaptation to daily constraints plays a central role.

Today, this traditional use coexists with numerous scientific publications that focus on its natural composition, particularly withanolides, compounds specific to the plant.

Why Nutrimuscle Ashwagandha Stands Out

At Nutrimuscle, ashwagandha is not treated as a mere trendy ingredient.

Selection is primarily based on a rigorous analysis of the raw material and on the consistency between scientific data, quality, and the regulatory framework.

A selection based on scientific documentation

Nutrimuscle uses extracts whose composition is clearly identified and documented, particularly regarding withanolides, to ensure reliable and transparent information.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ashwagandha

How does ashwagandha affect the brain?

One of the main active components of ashwagandha, withanolide, is responsible for its adaptogenic properties. This means it helps the body better cope with stress factors, particularly by influencing levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. A clinical study (Effects of Ashwagandha root in reducing stress and anxiety in adults) notably showed that this plant could significantly reduce perceived stress and anxiety in adults, while improving sleep – a key factor in brain health.

What are the health benefits of ashwagandha?

Ashwagandha is rich in antioxidants, essential molecules that help combat the effects of oxidative stress on the body. This oxidative stress, caused by the accumulation of free radicals, is a key factor in cellular aging and numerous chronic diseases.

What are the benefits of ashwagandha for women?

Among the main benefits of ashwagandha is its ability to support the health of female reproductive organs.

Indeed, this plant used in traditional medicine helps regulate thyroid hormones and contributes to maintaining a hormonal balance essential for good female health. This action is valuable for naturally managing hormonal imbalances such as menstrual disorders, mood swings, or symptoms related to menopause.

How much ashwagandha should I take?

It is generally recommended to take 1 to 2 capsules per day, depending on your needs, preferably during a meal for better digestive tolerance.

When should you take ashwagandha?

The best time to take ashwagandha largely depends on your routine, goals, and personal sensitivity.

Whether it's in the morning to energize your day or in the evening to promote relaxation, it's important to listen to your body and, if necessary, seek advice from a professional before starting a course of treatment.

What are withanolides?

Withanolides are a group of natural chemical compounds found primarily in plants of the genus Withania, particularly Withania somnifera, commonly known as ashwagandha. They are steroidal lactones.

Why did you choose Ashwagandha Shoden®?

We chose 100% pure and natural Ashwagandha Shoden® from Arjuna Natural for its unique blend of Withania somnifera roots and leaves, thus providing a greater diversity of its active ingredients and containing a high quantity of withanolide (35%). The effectiveness of this patented formula has been demonstrated in several clinical studies.

Ashwagandha powder can be made from either the roots of the plant, the leaves of the plant, or a combination of both. At Nutrimuscle, we have chosen to offer you a blend combining extracts of leaves and roots to maximize the benefits these provide.

Indeed, the roots primarily act on anxiety, stress, and the improvement of cognitive function thanks to withanolides, while the leaves, on the other hand, have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties thanks to flavonoids and phenolic acids.

What supplements should ashwagandha be combined with?

We recommend combining the following products:

  • Tribulus
  • Maca
  • Rhodiola
  • Zinc Ultimine
  • Multivitamins
  • Multiminerals

    It is best to consult a healthcare professional before concomitant use of several food supplements
