Ashwagandha is an ingredient commonly used in natural health remedies, but now it’s being used more and more by active individuals including gym goers to increase their results. One of key benefits Ashwagandha has is its ability to reduce cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone that we all tackle daily, high levels of which can leave you feeling burnt out and have negative effects on the body as it regulates blood sugar. Keeping your cortisol low will keep you from being stressed while also helping to keep you healthy.
Ashwagandha can also potentially increase testosterone, which in turn helps to increase muscle mass and reduce body fat, promoting both physical/mental and aesthetic results. As well as this it also helps lower inflammation, keeping those workouts on track and promoting optimal recovery.
