Ashwagandha (Whithania sonifera) is frequently used in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine. It is used for several kinds of health conditions, especially for the nervous system. Most scientific studies of this plant have focused on its enhancement and anti-stress effects. In experimental studies, ashwagandha increased the stamina of rats during swimming endurance tests and decreased adrenal gland changes of ascorbic acid and cortisol produced by the stress of swimming. In China, ashwagandha showed significant protection against the development of ulcers caused by stress. This plant also promotes cognition improvements in children with memory deficits and in the elderly with memory loss. It was also found useful in neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and Alzheimer’s diseases. Ashwagandha has gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) imitative effects and was shown to promote the formation of dendrites.
Vitamin B6 as pyridoxine is the 4-methanol form, an important water-soluble vitamin naturally present in many foods. It is an essential micronutrient required for normal functioning of many biological systems within the organism. Pyridoxine is converted to pyridoxal -5- phosphate in the liver.
Vitamin B6 as pyridoxal -5- phosphate is the active form of this vitamin and it is directly utilized by the body without conversion. It is involved in a wide range of biochemical reactions including the metabolism of amino acids and glycogen, synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and additional processes.
There is clinical evidence that high doses of vitamin B6 significantly reduces feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression. A study performed by researchers at the University of Reading, England found that an elevated dose of vitamin B6 in young adults taken for more than a month decreased feelings of anxiousness and nervousness. The study shows the growing evidence supporting the use of vitamin B6 to improve cognitive function, mood disorders, and mental well-being.
