Have any studies been done on Ashwagandha?
For one full year, 3000 mgs of purified Ashwagandha extract or placebo was given to 101 normal health male volunteers, aged 50-59. The herb had some physical effects that slowed the effects of aging for all the men in the study. All volunteers showed significantly increased hemoglobin and red blood cell count. Improvements in nail calcium and cholesterol were also noted. In addition, nearly 72% of the men reported improvement in sexual performance1.
