Formulation Notes

Reduces stress

The usage of Ashwagandha dates back over 3,000 years. It is a traditional ayurvedic herbal that is native to India, the Middle East, and Africa. We combined our Ashwagandha with Asian Ginseng, native to areas like South Korea and China. The result is an adaptogenic blend unique to Nature’s Way.
