Ashwagandha contains a wide range of biologically active chemical constituents collectively known as withanolides. Although the exact mechanism of action for a projected effect on stress response has yet to be elicited, ashwagandha extract appears to ease stress-induced increases of plasma corticosterone, lactic acid in the blood, and blood urea nitrogen. Due to the positive association of steroid hormones with general well-being and quality of life and the fact that cortisol is associated with stress, the influence of ashwagandha on these hormones has also been studied.
A systematic review assessing the effects of ashwagandha for anxiety and stress response included five randomized controlled human trials. An analysis of results indicated that ashwagandha intervention resulted in greater score improvements than placebo in outcomes shown on anxiety or stress scales, with no observed adverse events.
