Ashwagandha is not yet the most popular testosterone booster the market. However, it definitely has the most clinical research to prove it’s effectiveness.

Studies have shown it to boost testosterone levels up to 15%. Ashwagandha is a medicinal herb thats been used in India for centuries with many well studied health benefits. Studies have shown that Ashwagandha can boost endurance during physical activity by sharpening brain function.

Ashwaganda study showing testosterone increase

300mg’s of Ashwagandha given to human subjects for 60 days. The herb was able to slash cortisol levels by 27% and reduce inflammation. It increased “good” HDL-cholesterol by 17%, and reduced “bad” LDL-cholesterol  by 9%.

57 young and healthy men participated in a study of the effects of ashwagandha. It showed a testosterone increase of 40% on infertile subjects and a 15% increase in healthy subjects. Also noted was a significantly improved sperm quality.

Another study done with infertile men showed a 36% increase in luteinizing hormone. This suggest that Ashwagandha stimulates testosterone production at brain level.

Studies have basically disprove the effectiveness of tribulus. And the overall results of DAA are scientifically considered ‘questionable’ at best. This is the only natural supplement that has the solid data to prove its effectiveness at raising testosterone levels.

Ashwagandha reduces adrenal fatigue and chronic stress

Ashwaganda helps improve under active thyroids and and releases  antioxidants that destroy free radicals. Some studies suggest it aids in fighting brain degenerating diseases such as alzheimer’s, depression, and anxiety.

Ashwagandha was found to prevent blood vessels around cancer cells from feeding into the growth of cancerous tumors. By increasing white blood cells, the immune system is better able to protect the body from harmful invaders. Studies have also shown that Ashwagandha helps keep immune function in tact during chemotherapy. With all of these health benefits, it is silly not to take it.

Ashwagandha For PCT

I first heard about this herb through The Guerrilla Chemist. He did an article on the data published based on the results of the testosterone study for Ashwagandha. I decided to start taking Ashwagandha during the PCT stage of a prohormone cycle based on all the data. The particular cycle of prohormones left me feeling lethargic. And it also put strain on my immune system.

The lethargy was completely gone within a week of starting my PCT. Even better, my libido was actually better than what it was before the cycle! Placebo effect is not what I experienced when I used this plant.

I have more mental focus throughout the day. And that is honestly the biggest benefit that I’ve noticed from Ashwagandha! I feel like I can concentrate on subject matter for longer periods and pay attention to detail better than before. This is huge for people that have a demanding professional life requiring sharp mental focus.

Almost every herbal supplement I had taken in the past was about as worthless a Dr OZ product. This was not the case at all with this plant! I won’t be surprised if the pharmaceutical industry buys the rights to Ashwagandha. Once more studies are done to further validate it’s effectiveness, don’t be surprised if it gets taken of the market like everything else that actually works.

Ashwagandha would pair well with an estrogen blocker and a fat burner for men wanting to build muscle and get leaner while staying drug free.

Ashwagandha Extract is cheap and it works.

The exact brand that I use can be found HERE. 

What you want to get is the standardized extraxt version of the plant. This is the extract of the herb that is made only the roots. This is considered the gold standard that was used in all the studies.
