Ashwagandha and StressThere is a paucity of evidence assessing the efficacy and safety of low-dose formulations of Ashwagandha in stress management.2Thanawala Shefali (2026)Efficacy and safety of Ashwagandha root extract sustained-release (AshwaSR) capsules in healthy adult, stressed subjects: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 3-arm clinical trial
Ashwagandha and StressWe evaluated the efficacy and safety of AshwaSR capsules at doses of 150 and 300 mg in reducing stress and associated symptoms in healthy adults experiencing stress, over a period of 60 days of administration.2Thanawala Shefali (2026)Efficacy and safety of Ashwagandha root extract sustained-release (AshwaSR) capsules in healthy adult, stressed subjects: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 3-arm clinical trial
Ashwagandha and StressItems were designed to determine how unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloaded subjects found their lives, with response scores ranging between 0 and 40 (scores 0–13, low; 14–26, moderate; 27–40, high perceived stress).2Thanawala Shefali (2026)Efficacy and safety of Ashwagandha root extract sustained-release (AshwaSR) capsules in healthy adult, stressed subjects: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 3-arm clinical trial
Ashwagandha and Stress1 2 [,] 3 4 [,] 5 [] Stress is a normal response to difficult situations in an individual’s life; however, prolonged and excessive mental or physical stress can be detrimental.2Thanawala Shefali (2026)Efficacy and safety of Ashwagandha root extract sustained-release (AshwaSR) capsules in healthy adult, stressed subjects: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 3-arm clinical trial
Ashwagandha and StressThese limitations have catalyzed an increased global focus on nutraceuticals and phytomedicines possessing multimodal biological activities that transcend mere monoamine reuptake inhibition.3Li Xikun (2026)Rhodiola rosea , Ginkgo biloba , and Ashwagandha as novel antidepressant supplements: converging monoaminergic, neurotrophic, anti-inflammatory, and brain health pathways in depressive disorders
Ashwagandha and StressUnlike prior reviews that focus on individual herbs or broadly defined adaptogens, the present review integrates mechanistic, preclinical, and clinical evidence across these three agents to highlight their complementary rather than redundant actions.3Li Xikun (2026)Rhodiola rosea , Ginkgo biloba , and Ashwagandha as novel antidepressant supplements: converging monoaminergic, neurotrophic, anti-inflammatory, and brain health pathways in depressive disorders
