Ingredient Spotlight: Each ingredient was selected to benefit the overall formula

Ashwagandha root – this Indian herb has found its way into gardens and kitchens in the United States. It carries many traditional uses and holds the modern-day classification of being an adaptogen. Adaptogens are herbs that help the body adapt to stress and have an overall balancing or normalizing effect on the body.*

Ashwagandha works with the HPA (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal) axis to improve communication and regulate the production of cortisol. Its ability to regulate testosterone and cortisol may also have a positive impact on sleep and fertility. It has traditionally been used to balance testosterone within the body and is believed to support the male and female reproductive system.*

Part of ashwagandha’s normalizing effect may have to do with its ability to regulate, even lower, blood sugar. Anecdotal evidence shows that ashwagandha may improve blood sugar, joint pain, and a variety of symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions. Research suggests ashwagandha root may improve immune system and thyroid function.*

Valerian root – traditionally used for its relaxant and sedative qualities. Valerian is a nervine herb thought to nourish your central nervous system. Its effects may be due to its GABAergic qualities as it works as a GABA-A antagonist, providing a down regulating effect thought to help with sleep. May provide neuroprotective qualities and has been traditionally used to ease anxiety and depression. Some claim valerian root works well on muscle tension.*
