Adaptogens are herbs that help the body adapt to stress, and Ashwagandha is a popular one.
Benefits may include:
  • Reduced cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
  • Improved sleep quality.
  • Enhanced recovery and endurance.
  • Support for overall well-being.
While promising, research is still developing, and individual responses vary. It's not a magic bullet but can be a helpful addition for those dealing with high stress or intense training loads.
