Several studies indicate that ashwagandha extract increases the availability of dopamine, a substance crucial for well-being and joy.
One of its primary applications is in improving sleep. This is attributed to its effect on GABA, an important neurotransmitter that reduces nerve impulses, making it easier for the brain to relax.
Several studies on the extract also show its positive effects on memory, logical thinking, and concentration.
One of the most evident effects is on sex hormones such as testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen. These hormones are anabolic, promoting energy and growth, and are in direct opposition to cortisol. Studies on Ashwagandha indicate that as cortisol production decreases, the levels of sex hormones increase. Additionally, ashwagandha activates the production of gonadotropin, which increases the formation of LH, a hormone that facilitates testosterone production.
Several clinical studies demonstrate an increase in strength, muscle growth, and endurance. This is attributed to several factors, including increased ATP production, the energy used in working cells. Additionally, the body's own production of creatine is stimulated, further enhancing muscle performance. As cortisol levels decrease, hemoglobin levels increase, and oxygen uptake capacity improves.
There is a clear correlation between overweight and stress, as cortisol increases blood sugar levels and lowers metabolism. Excess energy is stored in fat reserves, especially around the abdomen. Moreover, stress often leads to a craving for sugary and fatty foods. As stress decreases, the levels of anabolic, energy-consuming hormones, such as testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen, increase, while ATP production, cellular energy, also rises, resulting in a significant increase in calorie expenditure. Clinical studies show that both weight and BMI decrease with the intake of the extract.
