    The Science

    Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera):
    Ashwagandha has long been revered for its adaptogenic properties, and contemporary research confirms its efficacy in this regard. The primary bioactive compounds in ashwagandha are called withanolides. These compounds are pivotal in combating oxidative stress and inflammation, two primary pathways of cellular ageing and degeneration. By modulating the body's response to stress, ashwagandha can regulate the secretion of cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone bolstering the body's resilience against stress and also mitigating the potential negative outcomes of prolonged stress exposure.

    Maca (Lepidium meyenii):
    Maca is often termed a "superfood" due to its dense nutrient profile. Rich in flavonoids, research has identified various benefits, including enhanced mood and reduced anxiety. Its mechanism is linked to the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, the primary hormonal system of the body. By optimising the functioning of this axis, maca has broad implications on energy, mood, and even reproductive health. Moreover, it also balances the levels of essential hormones, which can be crucial during intense physical or mental activities.

    Panax Ginseng:
    Ginseng's reputation as an energy booster and cognitive enhancer rests on its unique compounds called ginsenosides. Ginsenosides combat fatigue and bolster cognitive function by modulating neuronal activity, reducing oxidative damage, and enhancing neurotransmitter availability. Furthermore, panax ginseng can increase the body's resistance to stress by modulating the adrenal response, leading to more stable cortisol levels during challenging times.

    How will I know its working?

    Several observable effects may occur: the most immediate effect you may notice is a sense of calm and improved mood due to Ashwagandha's adaptogenic qualities. Enhanced Energy & Stamina: With the combination of Maca and Panax Ginseng, a gradual increase in energy levels without the jitters or crashes associated with caffeine is expected. Physical Recovery: If you're involved in physical training or regular exercise, the muscle recovery benefits of Ashwagandha can be invaluable. You may find reduced soreness post-workout and a quicker recovery rate.Balance in Sleep Patterns: Ashwagandha has been shown to regulate sleep cycles. If you’ve been experiencing insomnia or irregular sleep, there might be an improvement in the quality and regularity of your sleep.

    When to take it?
