Have you heard of Ashwagandha extract?It is also known as the "sleepy eggplant powder" and "natural adaptogen".It is an evergreen shrub that grows in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa and Europe. Its name comes from the Sanskrit word meaning "smell of horses" because of the strong earthy odor of its roots. Ashwagandha, although not related to ginseng, is often referred to as "Indian ginseng" or "winter cherry". It is widely used as an adaptogen in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine to help the body manage stress and support overall health.
Ashwagandha extract is a fine powder extracted from the whole sleeping tomato plant through advanced extraction techniques such as spray drying or supercritical technology.

To give you a little bit of information, the two plants, South African Drunken Tomato and Indian Drunken Tomato, are no ordinary herbs. They have been passed down in traditional medicine for thousands of years, and now, modern science is beginning to validate their powerful effects. Their root and leaf extracts are used in a wide range of health supplements and have become a popular ingredient in natural health care worldwide.
The name "somnifera" comes from the Latin word for "hypnotic," which is why it was first used to help with sleep. But research has found that it can do much more than that - it can also help with stress, anxiety, and even boost the body's resilience. Its core active ingredient is intoxicant lactones, but don't think these steroidal lactones are the only ones at work - other alkaloids and plant compounds are also quietly contributing and working together.
Efficacy
Stress and anxiety
Results from several clinical trials suggest that ashwagandha extracts may help reduce stress and anxiety. A 2021 systematic review identified seven studies that investigated the use of ashwagandha to treat stress and anxiety [Lopresti AL, Smith SJ. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) for the treatment and enhancement of mental and physical conditions: A systematic review of human trialsexternal link disclaimer. Journal of Herbal Medicine 2021;28:100434.].
Sleep
Research is limited, but the results from a few clinical trials suggest that ashwagandha extracts may help with sleep. For example, at one study center in India, 150 healthy men and women age 18 to 65 years with self-reported sleep problems characterized by insomnia and lack of restful sleep were randomized to take an ashwagandha root and leaf extract (Shoden) or placebo for 6 weeks [Deshpande A, Irani N, Balkrishnan R, Benny IR. A randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the effects of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) extract on sleep quality in healthy adults. Sleep Med 2020;72:28-36.]
In addition to its outstanding performance in mood regulation and anxiety relief, Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) has been found to significantly enhance cognitive function. Multiple studies have shown that this ancient herb effectively improves focus, boosts memory, and enhances overall mental well-being. As a result, Ashwagandha extract has become a highly sought-after nutritional supplement, particularly for individuals looking to enhance concentration and cognitive performance.
