In one of our recent posts, we talked about the herbal supplement Ashwagnada. You can read about it here in case you missed it: Ashwaganda.
However, there are many brands on the market which begs the question, which one should I buy. One of the most popular is ‘Sensoril’ Sensoril ® is a multi-patented, self-affirmed GRAS, full-spectrum, clinically tested standardized root and leaf extract of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). And it has been the standard when talking about Ashwaganda.
However, a newer pateented stardardized extract has recently been called the superior form. In this post from Mind Nurtition, they give ou all the details and benefits of this specific brand:
