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 dani, funkcija im se mozga vratila u normalu, a amiloidni plakovi koji su bili prisutni u mozgu miševa su smanjeni.
