Today’s athletes are always on the go. From the gym, to work, to dinner with friends, and repeat. This constant “onto the next thing” mentality can be stressful to many. One major outcome of this everyday stress is a generalized increase in cortisol levels. Cortisol has many great uses within the body, but if it is activated more often than not, your body can suffer. Ashwagandha can help with this. Clinical data shows that those consuming ashwagandha on a regular basis have more normalized cortisol levels compared to others in high-stress environments.* Attack your stress head-on with Ashwagandha!

Key Ingredients
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root has a long history of use as an adaptogenic herb. The withanolides that give ashwagandha its usefulness help athletes deal with the stress they are putting their body under every day. While we like to activate the fight-or-flight response in order to get the most out of our workout, our body doesn’t know the difference between sprinting on a track and sprinting away from danger. Ashwagandha can help us deal with this stress in a productive way to get the most out of every workout.*
Supports Your Goals
Cortisol is a catabolic hormone. This means that it tells your body to release stored chemicals through all its available pathways. Generally, this translates to breaking down stored glycogen, halting muscle protein synthesis, and decreasing sensitivity to insulin. If left at a high level for a long period of time, however, cortisol can be destructive. Muscles can’t recover properly and the body has difficulty storing energy for later use. This makes for pretty awful exercise recovery that ashwagandha can help athletes avoid.* Keeping cortisol at healthy levels supports muscle protein synthesis and recovery between exercise bouts to keep you at your peak.*
Good To Know
Fun fact: Cortisol levels rise and fall naturally throughout every 24-hour period. Normally, cortisol levels are highest in the morning to mobilize energy and get your day started. Later in the afternoon, they dip down, which is one theory as to why we experience that midafternoon lull.
