What It Actually Is
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a shrub used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, with the root most commonly used in supplements.
What Research Generally Shows
Ashwagandha has a genuinely substantial modern research base, with studies exploring its role in supporting the body's response to stress and, in some studies, aspects of vitality and stamina.
The Honest Gap
Effective ashwagandha doses in research are often 300-600mg of standardized extract taken daily — VigorBoost doesn't disclose its amount within the 82mg total blend, so we can't confirm how it compares.
