While we drink spirulina in the morning, we use ashwagandha powder in the evening. Our choice is 100% organic Ashwagandha from India, made from Grade A whole root. We take it with a little lemon, although its taste is strong and specific — but the effects are worth every sip.

Ashwagandha proved to be an excellent ally for reducing stress, anxiety, and insomnia.

Our colleague, who started using it first, noticed that she fell asleep much more easily, tolerated stressful situations at work better, and woke up rested in the morning. This is a good balance because spirulina powder, although energizing, does not negatively affect nighttime rest.

As an adaptogen, ashwagandha strongly acts to reduce cortisol (the stress hormone) and promotes calming neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA, which contributes to a feeling of calmness and facilitates overcoming the “fight or flight” state. Besides calming effects, many users — including us — notice a restoration of energy and clearer focus, which is an ideal synergy for overcoming chronic fatigue.

In all of us, a feeling of general balance and stability emerged, which is especially important during periods of increased physical and mental exertion. It is interesting that ashwagandha, while calming, simultaneously provides vitality, making it a perfect balance with spirulina between an “active day” and a “peaceful night.”
