for Anxiety

An adaptogen that reduces cortisol and modulates the stress response. One of the best-studied herbal supplements for anxiety with a genuine evidence base.

How it works

Withanolides modulate the HPA axis and reduce cortisol production. May also enhance GABA-ergic signalling in the limbic system.

What to watch for

Not for pregnancy or autoimmune conditions without medical supervision. Can cause GI upset. May have mild sedative effects — use with caution when driving.
