Ashwagandha Helps People with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Seniors with mild cognitive impairment have more trouble with memory and

thinking than expected with aging, but the trouble is not serious enough to cause

the more catastrophic problems of Alzheimer’s Disease. A remarkable 42% of

seniors are affected by it.

This 60 day double-blind study found that, compared with placebo, 250mg of

ashwagandha extract significantly improved all of immediate, general and

working memory, response and visuospatial processing. On a memory

assessment scale, there was a 14.77% improvement, and on assessment of

cognitive impairment and dementia, there was a 19.21% improvement.
