Press Release
The Effects of Ashwagandha on Academic Performance, Announced by the Stanford University Sleep Research Institute
United States, 20th Feb 2025, – On January 13, 2024, the Stanford University Sleep Research Institute published study results indicating that ashwagandha can positively affect sleep, thereby boosting students’ academic performance and overall work productivity. According to the study, ashwagandha is often referred to as a natural stress reliever and may have beneficial effects on the human body.
Studies on cognitive enhancement have shown that compared to the non-supplement group, those who took ashwagandha experienced a 51.7% improvement in logical memory and a 17.1% increase in verbal associative memory over an eight-week period. (Intake period: 8 weeks / Choudhary, D., Bhattacharyya, S., & Bose, S. (2017). Efficacy and safety of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal) root extract in improving memory and cognitive functions. Journal of dietary supplements, 14(6), 599-612.)
Ashwagandha is a natural plant that has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. In recent years, its various health benefits have been scientifically studied, aligning with the findings of this research. It is particularly known for reducing stress, improving sleep, and enhancing cognitive function. One of its key features is that it provides these benefits without adverse side effects.
Stress is known to be one of the factors that hinder learning efficiency. Ashwagandha helps reduce stress and anxiety by lowering cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress. In particular, it has shown remarkable efficacy in improving cognitive function, memory, and concentration. One report suggests that taking ashwagandha twice daily for eight weeks led to significant improvements in general memory, executive function, sustained attention, and information processing speed.
In particular, the compounds withaferin A and withanolide D in ashwagandha are cited as the main factors that help reduce stress and improve cognitive function, both of which contribute to better academic performance. Furthermore, published findings indicate that these compounds are also highly effective in treating insomnia, often viewed as an incurable ailment among students and modern individuals.
Ashwagandha plays a crucial role in regulating various hormones. It helps lower stress levels by reducing cortisol secretion. Additionally, it supports weight management by regulating ghrelin, the hormone responsible for appetite, and leptin, the hormone that signals fullness. and depression by modulating serotonin levels. Finally, it is believed to improve chronic fatigue and lethargy by supporting adrenal function. Through these mechanisms, ashwagandha significantly relieves insomnia.
As a result, ashwagandha’s ability to enhance sleep quality is seen as an important factor in stimulating brain function among growing students. By improving physical condition and relieving stress, it helps create an optimal environment for maximizing concentration and absorbing new information.
A health supplement formulated with L-theanine, magnesium, and ashwagandha first gained attention in Palo Alto, California, a region known for its strong academic culture. It has since expanded its availability across the United States.
In particular, parents in Palo Alto have been spreading the word about the supplement’s ability to reduce stress and enhance learning abilities in students, making it increasingly popular. One parent shared in a local interview, “I noticed a clear improvement in my child’s concentration after he started taking it” and added, “He now takes it consistently every day.”
According to industry sources, the supplement is currently being distributed primarily through major pharmacies in the U.S. and plans to expand into larger retail outlets and online marketplaces in the near future.
