Are you doubting whether shilajit vs ashwagandha is better? What if we told you "both"! Can we take Ashwagandha and Shilajit together? Yes! The combination of these two excellent ayurvedic medicines has been done for thousands of years in Traditional Indian Ayurvedic Medicine. They are considered as powerful rejuvenators. Natural herbs and substances have a rich healing history that dates back several millennia. They hold an important place in the arsenal of an apothecary in the treatment of a myriad of diseases since antiquity. More often than not, these herbs were used together as a poly-herbal formulation to enhance potency and to complement individual components.

Withania somnifera more commonly known as Ashwagandha is revered as a vitality giving shrub. Its plant components contain bioactive components that exhibit exemplary health benefits. What makes Ashwagandha unique is the presence of a steroidal compound called withanolides that helps boost the immune system, support healthy glucose levels and may even help with anxiety and depression. Traditionally, it was used to help improve fertility and control aging. It was also used to prevent emaciation. Ashwagandha is unlike other herbs as most of its components, the fruit, the leaves, the bark and the roots all contain useful compounds. Ashwagandha health benefits range from improving endurance and support immunity, and many claims that it can also improve memory, learning, and even enhance sexual performance. Numerous studies, in a preliminary sense, validated these claims. Its extract has potent health properties, like the roots, for instance, were found to contain high-level antioxidants.

A word of caution if you take shilajit and ashwagandha together

Some companies will offer a combined formulation already in tablet or powder forms. It is essential to be cautious when utilizing these as there is no way for you to verify how pure the individual components are.

FAQ

How is Pürblack different from regular supplements?
