What does Ashwagandha do?
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an adaptogenic root studied for supporting calmness and perceived stress with consistent daily use.
Unlike caffeine, it isn't a fast-acting ingredient — its studied effects typically build over days to weeks, which is why we call it the slow burner in the stack.
The evidence: multiple human studies on root extract and perceived stress show moderate support; individual response varies, and we say so openly.
In PEAQD: 200 mg of 10:1 root extract (5.4% withanolides) per serving. Note: ashwagandha isn't suitable for everyone — if you take medication or have a health condition, talk to your doctor first. Full details on the PEAQD product page.
