„Ashwa“ (horse) „gandha“ (root smell), the name itself points to the plant's ability to provide strength and vitality (animal strength hidden in the root). Known by names „Indian ginseng“ (similar root shape), also „winter cherry“ (fruits resemble cherries). From the small bush with yellow flowers, mainly the root is used in traditional medicine. Given its calming effects, it's appropriately named Withania somnifera, sleepy or dreamy. The Latin name somnifera also reveals its sleep-inducing property.
Did you catch the latest trend of nature? Choline and Inositol
Sometimes it seems at first glance that we have everything under control, but the reality is often different. "Liters" of coffee, fast food between duties, endless deadlines, constantly ringing phones. The result is fatigue, problems with concentration, forgetting even simple things, moods changing faster than the weather, and nights full of tossing and turning, as if our mind is running at a minimum. In a hectic pace, we do not realize the importance of proper nutrition. The good news is that nature can save us, in nature everything can be in harmony if we combine it from nature, it is a mysterious duo of choline and inositol.It is an ideal combination not only for the body but also for a tired mind, which is calling for help. Although many are unaware of them, choline and inositol work in every cell of our body, keeping our brain in shape, liver clean, and nerves strong. Their effects were discovered relatively recently. Why should we pay attention to these nutrients?
Iron - the secret of your health and energy
Imagine your body as a factory working at full capacity, providing energy, growth, and cell repair, with iron as the fuel that keeps it running. If iron reserves are depleted, you immediately feel tired, weak, have heart palpitations, or paler skin. Other symptoms of iron deficiency include brittle nails, dry hair, shortness of breath, sleep problems, reduced concentration, cold extremities, increased susceptibility to infections, and anemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by too little iron in the body) manifesting as extreme fatigue. In anemia, the body is not adequately supplied with oxygen and tires quickly. A signal of iron deficiency may also be bruising, as this mineral plays an important role in the production of hemoglobin, which supports the proper function of platelets.
Zinc - The Fatigue Slayer
In addition to vitamins, enzymes, and various supplements, our body also needs so-called trace elements for 100% functionality. The term "trace" means that our body needs it only in small quantities. We need 10 mg of zinc daily, which is 37 times less than magnesium (375 mg). It might seem we're discussing a total non-entity. However, the opposite is true. Zinc affects more than 200 biochemical reactions in our body!
