Ashwagandha extract is a supplement made from an evergreen shrub traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to help the body cope with stress and anxiety by acting as an adaptogen. Studies suggest it may also improve sleep quality, support cognitive function, enhance physical performance, and reduce inflammation, though more high-quality human research is needed to confirm these benefits. It contains compounds called withanolides, which are thought to be responsible for its various effects.
