Withania is a food supplement containing a 5% dry extract of Withania somnifera, also known as Ashwagandha, a plant widely grown in Central Asia, India, Africa and the Himalayas.
It represents the cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine because it has significant tonic-adaptive properties.
For this reason it is also called “Indian ginseng”.
The active ingredients of the plant with positive properties are withanolides.
Withania is able to facilitate the general adaptation of the organism to stress, in particular to strengthen the natural defenses and to combat physical and mental fatigue.
Recent studies confirm its anxiolytic properties and its tonic effect on the sexual functionality of men and women, also finding an increased number and volume of sperm compared to the placebo group.
Withania works by modulating VO2 Max in healthy and athletic adults and facilitating the increase in muscle strength and mass.
It has a positive effect on the repair of muscle damage (DOMS), improves general and short-term memory, cognitive functions, attention and information processing times.
Its immunomodulatory effect appears to be related to its ability to stimulate macrophages to synthesize nitric oxide (NO), thereby promoting the presence of oxygen and, consequently, a significantly increased oxidative output.
Rather, the focus of its adaptogenic properties is the inhibition of stress-related over-regulation of dopamine receptors in the body.
