Ashwagandha Overview
Ashwagandha is a shrub that grows across India, through the Middle East, and into parts of Africa. The name “Ashwagandha” comes from the ancient Sanskrit language and literally means “horse smell”. This name was given to Ashwagandha as it described the smell of the roots which have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years.
Today Ashwagandha is being rediscovered by a much wider audience as it continues to gain publicity for its many health benefits.
The chart below shows how the research into Ashwagandha and its many benefits is “exploding”!
It’s the reason why in 2018 Nutraceuticals World said Ashwagandha is “leading the adaptogenic revolution” and why in 2019 Nutra Ingredients ran an article entitled, “An herb to watch: Ashwagandha science growing consumer recognition”.

Thank you, Mark, for including Ashwagandha in your products line. When I read the initial review on Ashwagandha I was more than eager to try this product. The verdict is still to be determined as I just started using it after the initial introductory offer.
As a grandmother who cares for a 2 and 4 year old, five days a week (50+ Hours), the thought of more energy and mental acuity was very attractive to me. One thing that I’d like to put in my review is that I appreciate the care Mark takes in doing research on his products and cautioning his customers on underlying conditions that could be affected by a product. Because I have a thyroid condition, I really appreciated that caution. I had just been to my dr. and my thyroid level was normal so instead of taking 2 tablets a day, I thought I’d start slowly so am only taking 1 tablet a day. I need to have my thyroid rechecked in 3 months so I’ll see how things turn out at that point. After doing some research on my own, 2 Ashwagandha capsules may be a bit much for those with a thyroid condition (600 mg seemingly a safe dose) so I’m doing 500 mg (1 tablet). I am not advising anyone to do the same, but this is what I personally decided to do and will see if it affects my thyroid adversely when having my next blood draw. I wanted to be able to tell my dr. what I’m doing because I really wanted the positive results that Ashwagandha provides. Because some drs. are reluctant to give their ok on supplements, I decided just to be conservative. The verdict is still to be read.
I appreciate the fact that Mark is always willing to talk to his customers. A Healthy Leaf has my vote of confidence and I know I can always call Mark if I have a question or concern.
If you haven’t tried Moringa, I give it an A+ for relieving joint discomfort. I went from a daily preoccupation with joint pain to rarely thinking about it. It’s been a huge blessing to me.
Thank you, Mark!
