Ashwagandha Plus

Recovery stalls when chronic training stress keeps cortisol elevated and sleep quality degrades: this ashwagandha targets the cumulative HPA axis stress that sustained high-mileage training produces.

Ashwagandha Plus is a carefully crafted formula combines essential vitamins with traditional adaptogens to help support everyday energy and vitality. Vitamin D3, B6, and B12 provide key nutrients that contribute to normal metabolism, healthy nervous system function, and overall wellness. L-Arginine helps support healthy circulation, while Maca and Panax Ginseng offer plant-based support for stamina and balance.

KSM-66® Ashwagandha and Shatavari powders bring centuries of traditional botanical wisdom into a modern supplement. These functional botanicals support a normal response to occasional stress, relaxation, and overall vitality. Each ingredient is included in precise amounts to complement one another and maintain a clean, effective blend.

Packaged in vegetarian-friendly HPMC capsules, this supplement is easy to incorporate into your daily routine. As a dietary supplement, adults take two (2) capsules daily, ideally with a meal. This blend is free from common allergens and artificial fillers, making it a versatile choice for those seeking a plant-forward approach to wellness.

Built for runners managing cumulative training stress: those deep in marathon build phases, masters runners over 40 experiencing slower recovery between sessions, runners noticing elevated resting heart rate or degraded sleep quality, and any athlete whose perceived fatigue has become disproportionate to their actual training load.*

FAQ

Q: Will ashwagandha make me drowsy or affect training performance?

A: KSM-66® Ashwagandha does not function as a sedative. It reduces chronically elevated cortisol rather than suppressing acute alertness. At the 600mg clinical dose, no adverse effects on training performance, reaction time, or cognitive function have been documented in published research. Most runners report improved sleep quality and a calmer stress response without daytime drowsiness. It is not a stimulant and does not interfere with pre-race caffeine protocols.

Q: How long before I notice an effect?

A: The majority of cortisol reduction data from KSM-66® trials is observed after 30 to 60 days of consistent daily use. Acute effects are minimal. Build this into your training block 4 to 6 weeks before your target race or the highest-load phase of your training cycle, rather than starting it in the final two weeks of a taper, where its effect on accumulated stress is less relevant.

Q: Is this relevant for female runners?

A: Yes. Chronically elevated cortisol suppresses estrogen and progesterone, disrupts sleep architecture, and contributes to the hormonal picture associated with RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport). KSM-66® Ashwagandha at 600mg daily is relevant across sexes. Female runners managing perimenopause, menstrual irregularity linked to training load, or persistent fatigue may find this stack particularly applicable when used consistently for at least 30 days alongside adequate energy availability and iron intake.

Q: Can I take this alongside other Dark Mile supplements?

A: Yes. This formula pairs naturally with Magnesium Glycinate (200 to 400mg before bed) as a sleep and recovery protocol, and Omega-3 EPA/DHA (2 to 3g daily) for training inflammation management. If Vitamin D3 levels are clinically insufficient, additional therapeutic dosing may be warranted alongside this formula. No known interactions exist with standard runner supplement stacks at the doses in this product.
