OstroVit Ashwagandha 90 tablets is a dietary supplement with ashwagandha (root from the Withania somnifera plant), available in vegan form in 90 tablets. The main active ingredient is an extract of ashwagandha root (375 mg/tablet) standardized to 1.5% withanolides - bioactive substances attributed to the health benefits of this adaptogen.

What ashwagandha is commonly used for

Ashwagandha is a traditional herbal adaptogen used in Ayurvedic medicine that is being investigated in modern studies for the following potential benefits:

1. Supporting stress response and reducing anxiety
   Ashwagandha may help to reduce levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, and thereby relieve subjective feelings of stress and tension.
2. 2. Support for mental balance and sleep
   Some users report improved calmness and quality of sleep, or improved mood and ability to cope with daily mental stress.
3. 3. Support for vitality and muscle strength
   There are studies that suggest ashwagandha may support strength and recovery after exercise, and in some cases a mild effect on insulin sensitivity or lipid profile has been observed.
4. 4. Supporting male fertility
   Some research data suggests that use may have a positive effect on testosterone and sperm quality in men, probably in part secondary to stress reduction.

How to take

• The standard recommendation is 1 tablet per day, preferably with food.

• One packet contains 90 doses, which at a daily dose amounts to roughly 3 months of supplementation.

Notes on effectiveness

• There is no immediate effect with the effects of adaptogens such as ashwagandha - many studies and user experiences report that positive changes may not occur until after 4-8 weeks of regular use.

The withanolide content of this product (1.5%) is lower than some standardized extracts (e.g. KSM-66 or similar higher standardizations), which may indicate milder effects compared to more concentrated formulations.

Precautionary statements

• Pregnant and lactating women, people with thyroid disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism or autoimmune conditions, and those taking blood pressure medication, diabetes medication or sedatives should be cautious with use - it is always advisable to consult a physician before starting supplementation.

Stomach upset, drowsiness or drug interactions may occur; extremely rarely, more serious side effects have been reported (e.g. liver problems in sensitive individuals).

Conclusion

This product is a basic form of ashwagandha suitable for people who want to support daily stress management, mental balance and overall vitality, especially if they prefer a vegan supplement. If you are looking for a stronger or more clinically standardized form, there are other variants with higher withanolide content, but for normal daily use, even this form may be sufficient.
