As producers of natural extracts, we don't rely solely on folk wisdom. We are seasoned seekers of reliable, documented knowledge. Searching PubMed – the world's largest English-language database of medical and biological data – we consistently find publications confirming the extraordinary power of adaptogens.
Today, we want to share one such study with you. It analyzes the effect of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root extract on sleep quality and anxiety reduction. Below, we present a summary of the results of this scientific experiment.
Scientific Study: Ashwagandha and Insomnia and Anxiety
Study Context:
Sleep problems are a common disorder that has a profound, destructive impact on human physical and mental health. Most strong, synthetic sleeping pills carry the risk of side effects (including morning sluggishness). Consequently, scientists are increasingly turning to natural plant-based alternatives. Ashwagandha, valued in Ayurvedic tradition, has enormous potential in this area.
Research Objective:
To determine the efficacy and safety of ashwagandha root extract in individuals struggling with difficulty falling asleep and experiencing increased anxiety.
Methodology:
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at the Prakruti clinic in Kalwa (India).
A total of 60 participants were randomly divided into two groups: a test group and a placebo group. The test group received a capsule containing 300 mg of ashwagandha root extract. Both groups took the preparation twice daily for a period of 10 weeks. Advanced actigraphy and professional sleep quality (PSQI) and anxiety level (HAM-A) scales were used to assess sleep parameters (sleep onset latency, total sleep time, nocturnal regeneration efficiency).
Results:
Faster sleep onset: The time taken to fall asleep decreased in both groups, but after 10 weeks, it was significantly shorter in the ashwagandha group compared to the placebo group.
Greater Sleep Efficiency (SE): A significant improvement in nocturnal regeneration efficiency was observed. Scores in the test group increased from an initial 75.6 to over 83.4 after supplementation.
Anxiety Reduction: A significant improvement was noted in all key parameters, including a clear decrease in perceived anxiety (according to the HAM-A scale).
Scientists' Conclusions:
Ashwagandha root extract is a natural compound that perfectly supports sleep induction. It is well-tolerated by the body, noticeably improves the quality of nocturnal regeneration, and shortens the time needed to fall asleep. It can provide highly useful support for individuals struggling with sleep difficulties and elevated levels of stress and anxiety.
Studies are capsules, but practice is drops – why does Avoice Vitality work faster?
In the above study, scientists used extract in hard capsules, which involved waiting for effects for even several days (due to the burden of the digestive process in the stomach).
Thanks to the development of phytotherapy, today you can support your sleep much faster and more conveniently. We have created the highest quality ashwagandha extract in Avoice Vitality drops.
Why is the liquid form the best choice before bed?
Absorbs instantly: Drops placed under the tongue begin to be absorbed immediately, bypassing slow digestion. Ideal when you need to calm down just before turning off the lights.
Clean ingredients for a calm stomach: Our base is gentle, plant-based glycerin. We do not use alcohol, which could disrupt sleep architecture, nor chemical preservatives.
Delicious taste without bitterness: Herbs don't have to taste like earth. Just 1 ml from the pipette is enough to experience an exquisite taste. We have prepared sweet Raspberry, refreshing Blackcurrant, and classic Cherry for you to choose from.
