Sustained release ashwagandha supplement may reduce stress and improve sleep quality: RCT

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial found that daily supplementation with a sustained release ashwagandha extract (Prolanza) for 60 days significantly reduced stress, improved sleep quality, and enhanced psychological well-being in healthy adults experiencing moderate stress. Both 150 mg and 300 mg doses were effective, with the higher dose also reducing cortisol levels and stress-related eating behaviors. The study, funded by Nutriventia and Laila Nutra, supports the efficacy of once-daily Prolanza supplementation for stress management and overall wellness.
