Ashwagandha and multi-herb formula both reduced stress in 60-day trial

A 186-person randomized controlled trial published in Trials found that a full-spectrum ashwagandha root extract and a multi-herb adaptogen blend each reduced perceived stress significantly more than placebo over 60 days, with the ashwagandha formula showing the larger effect. Sleep quality, restorative sleep, anxiety, and fatigue also improved, while mental alertness was unchanged.
