✨ Ingredient Spotlight: Ashwagandha — Meet Your Inner Calm
Ashwagandha—also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry—is a centuries-old adaptogen celebrated in Ayurvedic medicine. And yes, modern science is finally catching up:
- Calm under pressure: 300–600 mg/day has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and cortisol over 6–12 weeks.
- Better sleep & mental clarity: Users report improved sleep quality, memory, and focus.
- Balanced energy & resilience: Helps with fatigue recovery, endurance, and stress resistance.
