Ashwagandha, an herb traditionally used in Ayurvedic healing, has been widely adopted and integrated into public consumption and Western medical research. In athletes, ashwagandha supplementation may support muscle recovery, reduce oxidative stress, and improve strength- and endurance-related fitness measures.
Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is an Ayurvedic herb used in herbal medicine for hormonal balance and stress adaptation. Although traditionally said to foster attachment and affection, Shatavari root extract is now more commonly recognized for its phytoestrogenic activity.
