Ashwagandha may possibly show promise for supporting brain function. It has been used traditionally in India for people with mental deficits in geriatric patients. Researchers have found that ashwagandha may possibly support healthy receptor activity. Increased receptor capacity might partly explain the possible brain nourishing effects of extracts from ashwagandha observed in animals and humans. Further studies indicate that ashwagandha may support the growth of healthy axons and dendrites.
According to traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Ashwagandha most likely affects multiple body systems to possibly support healthy
emotional well-being, mental sharpness, and physical endurance. Pharmacological studies indicate the mechanism of action is Withaferin-A, a primary Withanolide in Ashwagandha, which possibly supports healthy neurotransmitter pathways in the brain. This may, in fact, support memory and other cognitive processes. Scientists have yet to pinpoint the specific functions supporting a healthy immune system response and other regulatory body systems, though it is believed that all the active that derive from the plant work together to support a healthy mental outlook.
Research has also found that raw ashwagandha may support healthy levels of three naturally powerful antioxidants: superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. The effects of these antioxidants may explain the reported anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-aging effects and its ability to support a healthy inflammation response produced in experimental animal and in clinical situations.
