Ashwagandha, an Adaptogen, is a Potent Antioxidant and an Effective Antiaging Supplement.Ashwagandha, or Withania Somnifera, or Indian Winter Cherry, is an herb with several different names, and is originally from India. As mentioned above, it is an adaptogen as well as an antioxidant. This means that it helps the body adapt to either physical or mental challenges (stress). 
It is also sometimes referred to as "Indian gingseng" because it has beneficial effects on mental performance. Those who have used and researched Ashwagandha say: Our Experience Confirms Research!Both my husband and I have proved some of the results of the previous research. We have been able to stop taking allergy medications by taking this supplement regularly instead. I took a pill four times a day to control my allergies during my peak allergy season. In addition, as a cancer patient, I've not had any recurrences.My husband controls his allergies with only two pills a day. So the recommended dosage will vary depending on the condition for which you take it. If you take it as an anti-aging preventative you would also take two pills a day. That is the suggested dosage given on the bottle. If you are taking it for some other condition, you should check with your doctor or with an herbalist to get the best dosage .
Get an Effective Supplement...It is important to get a supplement that is truly effective. Some places sell supplements cheaply, but they are worthless because they are not fresh herbs, or they aren't concentrated enough to have any noticeable effects.We have used a 570 milligram tablet put out by Planetary Herbals. It is a combination of 500 milligrams of Ashwagandha root combined with a 70 milligram root extract in a 25:1 ratio. This gives a final product of 5% Withanolides. The withanolides are the active antioxidant ingredients in this herb. If you buy this supplement from a health food store, be sure to check the back of the label to be sure you are getting 5% withanolides. If you buy online, usually you can click somewhere on the picture of the product and it will show you the information on the back so that you can know what you are getting. As long as it is a product with at least that concentration of withanolides, it should be effective. Return from Ashwagandha to Antioxidant Supplements
