Significant role in managing stress.In one double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled study, participants with a history of chronic stress who took 600 mg of Ashwagandha daily for 8 weeks had a 27.9% reduction in serum cortisol levels. In addition to the reduction in this key stress biomarker, those who took ashwagandha scored 44%, 72.9%, and 71.6% lower on various different stress and anxiety scales. Another study of those taking only 240 mg of the ashwagandha herb for 60 days showed similar results with a 23% reduction in morning levels of cortisol and associations with subjective feelings of anxiety and stress. A meta-analysis of five studies backs these studies up further, demonstrating those who took this ayurvedic herb experienced lower levels of stress and anxiety. ShilajitShilajit is a naturally occurring tar-like substance that is taken as a supplement and another “herb” used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.It is reported to have many different benefits for male fertility. One small study noted increases in several sperm parameters after taking Shilajit for 90 days. Of the 28 men who completed the study, a 61% increase in sperm count and a 12-17% increase in sperm motility were observed. Another study found an increase in total testosterone by 23% and an increase in free testosterone by 19%. Another unique way in which Shilajit may support male reproductive health is through synergistic effects with CoQ10. CoQ10 is a molecule that fuels cellular energy by supporting mitochondrial function and has potent antioxidant activity. Likely due to these properties, CoQ10 is also well studied and known for its ability to help increase sperm count, motility and more. One study looking at muscular ATP levels after strenuous exercise split mice into four groups: CoQ10 + Exercise, Shilajit + Exercise, CoQ10 and Shilajit + Exercise, and Exercise Alone (control). ATP is the energy currency used in biological systems, and as mentioned, CoQ10 is involved in energy production. The study showed that while the CoQ10 and Shilajit groups both had elevated ATP levels compared to the control group after exercise, the CoQ10 and Shilajit combined group had even higher levels
