Indian Winter Cherry - Ashwagandha herb (Organic) Information

Ashwagandha, also known as "Indian Winter Cherry," improves the body's ability to maintain physical effort and helps the body adapt to various types of stress. Perhaps the most famous Ayurvedic rejuvenative botanical used in many tonics and formulas, Ashwagandha works as an adaptogen, promoting the body's ability to maintain homeostasis and resist stress. Ashwagandha is a unique herb with anti-stress adaptogenic action that leads to better physical fitness and helps cope with life's daily stress.

Scientific Research on Ashwagandha (Winter Cherry)

Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center have studied Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). They found that extracts of the shrub had activity that was similar to GABA, which could explain why the plant is effective in reducing anxiety.

Scholars from the University of Leipzig, Germany looked at the effects of Ashwagandha on the brain. The research showed Ashwagandha led to more acetylcholine receptor activity. The scholars concluded that the increase of activity in that particular neurotransmitter could account for the increase in cognitive ability and memory attributed to Ashwagandha.

Scholars at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India, conducted research which proves many of the elements of Ashwagandha are antioxidants. The researchers found that Ashwagandha led to larger amounts of three different natural antioxidants: superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase. The antioxidant effect of active principles of Ashwagandha may explain the anti-stress, cognition-facilitating and anti-aging effects produced in clinical situations.

Several other research studies and published articles on Ashwagandha can be found on PubMed's website maintained by the National Institute of Health at pubmed.org.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ashwagandha

Who can take Ashwagandha?
Because herbal medicines are relatively mild and gentle on the human body, Ashwagandha can be taken by practically everyone, regardless of age and gender.

Is Ashwagandha addictive?
Himalaya Ashwagandha does not contain any addictive components. It can be taken for long periods of time without fear of addiction.

Are there any side effects to taking Ashwagandha?
No side effects or toxicity of any kind have been reported with Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is especially excellent for young people as a substitute for ginseng, which may be too stimulating.

How long do I have take Ashwagandha before I see any results?
Herbal medicines provide progressive, long-term benefits. Certain classes of herbs work well in acute conditions to provide quick relief, however herbs like Ashwagandha need to be taken for at least 3-4 weeks before the benefits of taking it can be experienced. Optimally, you may have to take Ashwagandha for anywhere between 3 and 6 months to experience the full range of benefits. Individual results can vary.

Have any studies been done on Ashwagandha?
For one full year, 3000 mgs of purified Ashwagandha extract or placebo was given to 101 normal health male volunteers, aged 50-59. The herb had some physical effects that slowed the effects of aging for all the men in the study. All volunteers showed significantly increased hemoglobin and red blood cell count. Improvements in nail calcium and cholesterol were also noted. In addition, nearly 72% of the men reported improvement in sexual performance1.

In a scientific trial that continued for 60 days, 58 healthy children between the ages of 8 and 12 were given milk that was treated with fortified Ashwagandha (2000 mgs a day). The herb improved the health factors significant to growth. Researchers concluded that Ashwagandha can be a growth promoter in children - and they also noted that these children were less likely to have anemia2.

Is Ashwagandha a standardized herbal medicine?
Himalaya Healthcare Company has solved the riddle of ensuring consistency of performance for herbal remedies through full control of all stages of production from growing the herbs on their own farms to adhering to pharma Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and stringent quality controls. Every Himalaya Pure Herb, including Ashwagandha, is fingerprinted using the most sophisticated chromatographic techniques to consistently maintain the highest quality.

What is the difference between the pure herb, Ashwagandha, and herbal blends that contain Ashwagandha as one of the primary ingredients?
Himalaya Pure Herbs is a line of clinically proven traditional herbs from The Himalaya Drug Company. The Himalaya Pure Herbs range delivers to you the best of a rich Indian pharmacopoeia in a convenient capsule form. Each Pure Herb capsule contains the goodness of the entire plant and all its attendant benefits. On the other hand, herbal blends, like StressCare, that contain Ashwagandha as the primary ingredient fulfill essentially all of the functions that Ashwagandha individually does, but include other herbs that address different aspects of lipid and fat metabolism. For most consumers, it is often a matter of preference and choice when deciding between Pure Herbs and Herbal blends. At Himalaya, we recommend herbal blends when it is necessary to treat multiple conditions and pure herbs when treating any one specific condition.

Which of the herbal blends contains Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha is one of the primary ingredients in Himalaya StressCare, which helps provide anti-oxidants and natural vitamin sources. StressCare, which helps cope with daily stress contains, among other herbs, Ashwagandha, which is known for its adatogenic and rejuvenative properties. Ashwagandha is present in Himalaya MindCare, which enhances learning ability, improves memory, concentration, and is a natural and safe calming product. Ashwagandha is an ingredient in Himalaya HeartCare, which helps promote healthy cholesterol levels and HDL/LDL cholesterol ration. Ashwagandha in HeartCare has a rejuvenative effect on the body. Ashwagandha is also present in Himalaya VigorCare for Men, which addresses all symptoms of decreasing male sexual function. VigorCare for men is a reliable, non-hormonal safe stimulant that helps men enjoy sexual vigor, potency and performance. Additionally, it helps increase male libido, staying power, sexual drive, and restores confidence.

Which is more important when shopping for herbal medicines - safety, effectiveness, or bioequivalence?
We recognize that, for most consumers, the real issue is less one of safety and effectiveness of herbal remedies in general and more one of the quality of the specified product. The real issue for the consumer is the question of bioequivalence: is the product in front of me going to be bioequivalent to the one I have been reading about and deliver the results I expect?

Why buy Himalaya Ashwagandha when there are countless other brands available on the market?
It is important that you, as a consumer, look for products that have not only been researched clinically but are also “fingerprinted” to guarantee that “the science is in the pill”. Himalaya, in fact, pioneered “fingerprinting” as the way to achieve consistency of performance of herbal remedies. Fingerprinting refers to perfectly matching the entire phyto-constituent profile of the plant between the product on the market and the reference or standard on which the science has been generated. In other words, “fingerprinting” the entire make-up of the herbal product is the only way to verify bioequivalence. Most companies that manufacture herbal medicines are not equipped nor care to perform such fingerprinting. Consequently for the consumer, most products on the market cannot truly make the claims they make because the bioequivalence of their herbal products has not been conclusively established through a match of their phyto-constituent profiles with the reference.
