Ashwagandha is one of the world’s best-known herbal medicines. It has been used for centuries as a health tonic and treatment for a wide variety of health problems, and modern research and clinical testing affirm the herb’s effectiveness in treating symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, infertility, impotence, and fatigue.
For centuries, Ashwagandha has been the central herb used in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicine. Before the term “adaptogen” was ever coined, Indians have been using Ashwagandha for the same purpose as adaptogens. Modern research shows that Ashwagandha is one of the most effective and most prolific herbal adaptogens, which can help boost brain function, lower cortisol levels, lower blood sugar, and lower symptoms of anxiety and depression.
In this article, we’ll discuss why Male UltraCore uses Ashwagandha as one of its main ingredients, and how Male UltraCore maximizes the potential of Ashwagandha.
KSM-66 is the most prolific standardized Ashwagandha extract, with dozens of studies affirming the product’s effectiveness in treating a wide variety of health conditions, as well as its ability to enhance physical, mental, and sexual performance. KSM-66 features the highest concentration, bioavailability, and safety of Ashwagandha, which directly contributes to its effectiveness as a supplement ingredient.
We’ve always stood by our mantra that supplements are only as good as their ingredients, and that’s why Male UltraCore has the most premium Ashwagandha product available in KSM-66. We licensed KSM-66 for use in Male UltraCore to ensure the ingredient’s quality and effectiveness.
Studies show that KSM-66, with its standardized formulation and potency, is proven to reduce cortisol levels, which directly impact testosterone production. Numerous studies support KSM-66’s ability to improve memory and cognition, muscle performance, cardiorespiratory endurance, sexual function, sleep, and stress reduction.
As an adaptogen, Ashwagandha’s health benefits go beyond testosterone enhancement. Its biggest impact is in reducing stress and anxiety in general, which helps individuals cope better with their daily challenges.
By reducing cortisol, Ashwagandha indirectly reduces blood sugar levels, since the main effect of cortisol is to boost blood sugar levels. This can help diabetic individuals manage their blood sugar levels. The drastic reduction in cortisol levels also allows the body to resume its anabolic state, which focuses on building muscle, instead of breaking down muscles for energy.
Another component of Ashwagandha, withaferin, is also found to have strong anti-cancer properties. The phytochemical is proven in clinical trials to promote reactive oxygen species in cancer cells, which disrupts growth and function. It also makes cancer cells more prone to cell death, which effectively slows down its progression.
Ashwagandha essentially equips the body with the right response to deal with stress, and this also affects sleep and cognitive function. Studies show that Ashwagandha is highly capable of improving cognitive performance, including decision making, stress management, focus, energy, and problem-solving.
Ashwagandha may be one of the few herbs that have a direct impact on mental health. The studies involving ashwagandha and its impact on stress, anxiety, and depression, are all conclusive. Many researchers around the globe are focused on dissecting the secrets of Ashwagandha and how it directly impacts mood and stress management, and the only link that is proven as of the moment is Ashwagandha’s impact on cortisol levels.
Ashwagandha is an impressive product for increasing testosterone production, but it is in no sense a complete solution for increasing testosterone levels. It does not have any direct impact on testosterone production, but it’s the best ingredient to lower cortisol levels to optimize testosterone production. Ashwagandha also does not have an active component that could lower testosterone metabolites, and increasing testosterone production without balancing the hormone levels would only result in dangerous side effects, such as prostate growth, prostate cancer, breast growth, mood changes, and even erectile dysfunction.
Taking Ashwagandha alone is not a feasible solution to safely and effectively boost testosterone levels, and that’s why Male UltraCore selected a wide variety of ingredients that work on different testosterone and performance-boosting pathways, to make the most out of ashwagandha’s adaptogenic properties. Not only does Male UltraCore have the best ashwagandha product in KSM-66, but it also has the best formula to maximize the effectiveness of Ashwagandha, with a formula that is directed towards improving and maximizing the properties of Ashwagandha.
