Ashwagandha Botanical Complex is a synergistic combination of ashwagandha KSM66, other roots, herbs, mushrooms (reishi and cordyceps) and vitamins. Formulated to help combat stress and adrenal fatigue, while also supporting the immune system, energy levels, mental performance and a general sense of calm, focus and vitality.

The adrenal glands produce hormones that underpin the body's mechanisms for coping with physical and mental stress. Overtraining in athletes, chronic anxiety, worry, nervous tension and other factors associated with excessive cortisol release are linked to adrenal exhaustion and fatigue. Over-reliance on caffeine and other stimulants also taxes the adrenals.

With potent adaptogens, this food supplement helps to balance hormones, allowing users to better manage their stress response on a day to day basis. These clever herbs help the body adapt to what it needs and regulate the system up or down, as required in the moment. The nature of adaptogenic herbs is to help a person “adapt” to their environment, as well as to normalise and regulate the body’s functioning.

It combines important nutrients and nutraceuticals that support hormonal and adrenal health. For example...

KSM66 ashwagandha Not all ashwagandha supplements are created equal and when it comes to choosing the best ashwagandha, KSM66 is the gold standard. It is derived using a unique extraction process which harnesses a full spectrum extract from just the ashwagandha root - not the leaves. The result is an ashwagandha extract which has the highest quality and best bioavailability. KSM66 ashwagandha has the highest concentration of all major root-only extracts available on the market. Together with good manufacturing processes which use no solvents or added active ingredients, KSM66 is the most natural, potent and effective formulation of ashwagandha root. Clinical studies* have consistently provided evidence to support the use of ashwagandha for stress relief, enhanced cognitive function, physical performance and sexual function.

Pantothenic acid is involved in the synthesis and release of adrenal hormones.

Panax Ginseng also has an extensive history of use for the promotion of alertness and vitality, as well as counteracting fatigue, while Rhodiola is another powerful and fast-acting adaptogenic herb. It has been used traditionally to contribute to normal blood circulation, which in turn is associated with cognitive performance and reactivity.
