Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a root herb from Ayurvedic tradition with a modern reputation: the kingpin of calm. As an adaptogen, it doesn’t just reduce stress — it helps your body adapt to it, making you more resilient under pressure.
It lowers cortisol levels, eases anxiety, and boosts testosterone in men. In smart stacks, it’s your buffer layer — smoothing out stimulants, boosting mood, and keeping burnout at bay.
Best Paired With: Rhodiola for a “chill but driven” vibe. Also blends beautifully with nighttime noots for deeper sleep and hormone harmony.
