In a fascinating episode of Real Health, we welcomed Dr. Paulo to illuminate our understanding of Ashwagandha, a potent adaptogen that has garnered respect in the realms of both traditional and modern medicine. With its roots deeply entwined in Ayurvedic practices, Ashwagandha has sailed through time, offering a haven of health benefits, such as mitigating stress, bolstering brain function, and reinforcing cardiovascular health, to those who embrace its healing prowess.
Dr. Paulo embarks on our journey with a glimpse into what defines an adaptogen. A term that often circulates in wellness circles, adaptogens are natural substances that assist the body in adapting to stress and promoting normal physiological functions. Within this category, Ashwagandha claims its fame with its impressive array of scientifically backed benefits, earning it the moniker of a “stress-busting superhero” in the natural wellness world.
Navigating through the challenges of our daily lives, stress management emerges as a pivotal concern and for many, Ashwagandha is a formidable adversary. Dr. Paulo sheds light on how this remarkable herb does not merely function as a temporary solution but works at the root, enhancing our resilience to stress and aiding in managing stress-induced disorders.
The active components of Ashwagandha, known as withanolides, play a vital role in its stress-combating capabilities. The episode carefully examines the scientific framework, unraveling how Ashwagandha interferes with stress pathways in the brain, maintaining cortisol levels and thus, providing an anti-stress shield to our bodies and enhancing the resilience of our nervous system.
But Ashwagandha doesn’t stop there. Dr. Paulo dives deeper, revealing its potent impacts on our cognitive functioning and memory. Through its antioxidant properties, this mighty herb shields our neural circuits from detrimental oxidative stress, fostering enhanced memory, cognitive functionality, and potentially paving pathways to mitigate neurodegenerative diseases.
Exploring further, we navigate through the corridors of cardiovascular health, where Ashwagandha, with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, emerges as a heart-healthy ally, possibly aiding in reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and supporting overall cardiovascular vitality.
When discussing Ashwagandha, Coyne Bio-Shoden® Ashwagandha is an extremely potent and patented ashwagandha extract. Characterized by its enhanced bioavailability, it promises to deliver a powerhouse of benefits encapsulated in its rich withanolide content, amplifying the health rewards we’ve explored thus far.
This patented extract, Shoden, has been included in various clinical trials. One study conducted in 2019 by the Murdoch University in Pert, Australia, found that the depressive or anxiety symptoms of participants were reduced by 41%, mood was improved by over 30% and the morning cortisol levels were drastically reduced.
This powerful adaptogen is known for its ability to increase the body’s resilience and promote recovery from physical and emotional stress. By reducing and maintaining healthy levels of stress hormones like cortisol, Bio-Shoden® Ashwagandha aids in managing stress effectively.
With the plethora of benefits, Dr. Paulo also wisely navigates through the cautionary landscapes, discussing the considerations and potential side-effects, accentuating the importance of mindful utilization, and acknowledging the interactions it may have with certain medications.
