Indian Ginseng
Withania somnifera
Withania somnifera，又称印度冬青或阿什瓦甘达，是一种传统上用于阿育吠陀医学的草药。它被广泛使用以支持整体健康和福祉，特别是在管理压力和促进放松方面。科学研究表明，Ashwagen®提取物可以显著减少焦虑和应激标志物，降低皮质醇水平和三酸甘油酯，并且即使在患有高血压的患者中也表现出良好的安全性。植物中的withaferin A显示出对抗乳腺癌的各种机制具有前景，但由于口服生物利用度有限以及模型异质性而面临挑战。传统和现代提取方法均可产生可测量的Withaferin A含量，尽管NMR已被确认为可靠的定量方法。高剂量（2000毫克/天）阿什瓦甘达根提取物在健康成年人中12周内耐受良好，未报告严重问题或药物相互作用。

科学怎么说
- 从印度冬麻（Withania somnifera）中提取的阿魏酸A表现出多靶点抗乳腺癌活性，通过调节氧化还原稳态、自噬和凋亡。但由于口服生物利用度有限以及模型异质性，翻译面临挑战。
- 研究发现，无论是传统方法还是PCSЛ萃取方法都能从印度冬青Withania somnifera中提取出可测量的withaferin A含量，尽管NMR已被确认为可靠的定量分析方法。
- 印度紫檀显著降低了焦虑和应激标志物，降低了皮质醇水平和甘油三酯水平，在已有高血压的患者中没有出现严重不良事件。
- 高剂量的印度冬青根提取物（每日2000毫克）在健康成人中耐受良好，并且在12周内表现出良好的安全性特征。
- 一些临床前和临床证据表明，Withania somnifera 可能具有认知支持和神经保护的潜力，尽管仍需要更多标准化研究。
- 用蒸馏水提取的印度何首乌根和 withanolide A 在斑马鱼幼体中表现出类似地西泮的抗焦虑活性。
- 补气合甘草补充剂显著改善了成年人的认知功能（记忆、注意力、处理速度和执行功能）以及肌肉力量，但对体重或体脂百分比没有影响。
