African Ashwagandha: The Adaptogen You Don't Know Yet

Ashwagandha is one of the most sought-after adaptogenic plants in the world right now. In Europe, it's all the buzz. But most consumers are unaware that there is an African version of this legendary medicinal plant.

Withania somnifera — its scientific name — has grown naturally in North and Sub-Saharan Africa for millennia, where it has been used by African traditional healers long before it became a global trend.

Why is Ashwagandha the adaptogen of the moment?

An adaptogen is a plant that helps the body adapt to stress and maintain balance. Ashwagandha is particularly recognized for:

• Cortisol reduction: the stress hormone responsible for abdominal weight gain and chronic fatigue
• Improved sleep: reduces time to fall asleep and improves the quality of deep sleep
• Athletic performance: increased strength and endurance according to several studies
• Natural libido: positive effects on testosterone in men
• Cognitive: improved memory and concentration

How to use Ashwagandha powder?

1 to 2 teaspoons per day (3 to 6g), preferably in the evening. Pairs very well with:

• Warm milk (golden milk)
• A post-workout smoothie
• A yogurt at bedtime

Recommended course: 2 to 3 months for optimal effects. Not recommended for pregnant women.
