It is a short perennial shrub characterized by small, dark green leaves and a red fruit similar in shape and size to that of a berry or vine tomato. Withania is classed as an adaptogen in that it allows you to cope with physical stress . It contains a number of alkaloids, a small number of fatty acids and also steroidal lactones that may have potent aphrodisiac, rejuvenative and life prolonging properties. It is traditionally used to promote stress relief, youthful vigor, endurance, strength, and health. Ashwagandha appears to boost T levels and sperm quality in infertile men, but at present there is only one study that has used healthy, but untrained participants - at present there is no research on those who are already weight training or undertaking physical activity on a regular basis. This supplement may be more promising than other adaptogen herbs, but with the limited research on long-term safety and healthy individuals we would recommend using a more vigorously tested male support complex until future research is released."}
