Adaptogenic herb that reduces cortisol and supports stress resilience

We rank Ashwagandha by price per 600mg - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb, which is a natural substance that helps the body manage and adapt to stress. It is primarily used to lower cortisol, a hormone released by the body during stressful situations.

Why it's used

It is used to support stress resilience, making it easier for the body to bounce back from tension. By reducing cortisol levels, it helps the user feel more balanced and less overwhelmed.

How it's made

The plant is grown and harvested, after which the roots are dried and ground into a fine powder. This powder is then either put directly into capsules or extracted using a solvent to create a more concentrated version of the active ingredients.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is mid-range in price. This is because while the plant is relatively easy to grow, the cost of producing high-quality, standardised extracts to ensure a consistent strength adds to the manufacturing expense.
