How Can Ashwagandha Fight Alzheimer’s?
Studies on Ashwagandha
Researchers at Newcastle University zjistili, že ashwagandha inhibuje tvorbu beta-amyloidových plaků. These plaques, considered toxic to brain cells, accumulate in the brains of people with neurodegenerative diseases, jako je Alzheimerova choroba. Protože studie byly prováděny ve zkumavkách, however, researchers emphasize that more testing is needed.
Na National Brain Research Center (NBRC), scientists tested ashwagandha on mice with Alzheimer’s. After 20 days of treatment with ashwagandha, cognitive performance of the mice improved significantly. At the end of 30 dny, jejich mozková funkce se vrátila do normálu a amyloidové plaky, které byly přítomny v mozcích myší, byly sníženy.
Navíc, the study showed that rather than altering brain chemistry directly, ashwagandha boosts a protein in the liver. This protein clears amyloid from the brain.
Anti-Stress
Ashwagandha má neuvěřitelný účinek na nervous system a může uklidnit oblasti mozku, které lze opotřebovat kvůli nadměrnému a dlouhodobému stresu. GABA (Gamma amino-butyric acid) je inhibiční neurotransmiter umístěný v mozku, který slouží ke snížení neuronální aktivity. This herb helps keep nerve cells from over-firing, which will have a naturally calming effect on the mind and body.

In India, Ashwagandha has been used on people for a very long time as a mood stabilizer. Výzkum také ukázal, že tato bylina produkuje přírodní antidepresivum a účinek proti úzkosti, který je srovnatelný s antidepresivy, jako jsou Ativan a jeho účinek na myši.
Jiný výzkum ukázal, že Ashwagandha je nápomocen při problémech vyvolaných stresem, jako je vředy, inhibition of male sexual drive, retention of learned activities and memory.
Antioxidant
Ashwagandha výzkum na Banaras Hindu University se sídlem ve Váránasí, India discovered that some of the chemicals in the herb were powerful antioxidants. In some of their studies, they found that there was an increase of three natural antioxidants superoxide: dismutase, catalas

Anti-zánětlivé
Studie se zabývaly protizánětlivými účinky Ashwagandhy na léčbu artritida and other inflammatory conditions.

Anti-Aging
Research of ashwagandha has also found some awesome evidence for anti-aging properties. In a double-blind clinical trial, a group of 101 healthy males between the ages of 50-59 years old were given 3 grams daily for one year. Subjekty zaznamenaly výrazné zlepšení jejich hemoglobin, red blood cell count, sedící postavy a hair melanin. Serum cholesterol decreased in these men and nail calcium was preserved. 70% also reported improved sexual performance.
Immune System And General Health
Antikarcinogenní activity has also been found in Ashwagandha roots. The roots caused an inhibitory effect on around 49% of colony forming CHO cells. The cell growth was inhibited and cell attachment was also prevented. The herb caused long term growth inhibition of CHO cells, which was highly dependent of the cell density, because of long term exposure to Ashwagandha.
In a series of studies, ashwagandha had a profound effect on the healthy production of white blood cells in animals. Rovněž se ukázalo, že má dobrý účinek na thyroid activity. It was found to stimulate thyroid activity through its effect on cellular antioxidant systems. To ukazuje, že to může být dobré i pro ty, kteří trpí hypothyroidism.
