| Ashwagandha and Stress | We 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. | 2 | Thanawala 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 Stress | Items 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). | 2 | Thanawala 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 |
