Ashwagandha: The root for stress, perimenopause and hormonal health

Why we’re talking about Ashwagandha

If you’ve been struggling with stress, poor sleep, or the rollercoaster of perimenopause and menopause, you’ve probably seen Ashwagandha popping up everywhere. There’s a reason: it works.

At Rebalance, we use KSM-66® Ashwagandha, the most clinically studied and highest-quality form of this powerful adaptogen. It’s not hype. It’s a root extract with decades of research showing how it supports stress, hormones, and overall wellbeing.

What is Ashwagandha?

Ashwagandha is a traditional Ayurvedic herb that’s been used for thousands of years to restore balance in the body. Modern science now calls it an adaptogen, a natural plant that helps your body adapt to stress, restore energy, and find equilibrium.

The form we use—KSM-66®—is unique. It’s a full-spectrum root extract produced without chemical solvents, making it the most concentrated and pure extract available today.

Why Ashwagandha matters in perimenopause and menopause

During perimenopause and menopause, symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, and poor sleep are often driven by one underlying hormone: cortisol.

Cortisol is your stress hormone. When it runs high (which is common in midlife), it makes every symptom worse:

• It keeps you awake at night

• Triggers food cravings and weight gain

• Intensifies hot flashes

• Increases anxiety and mood swings

This is where Ashwagandha shines. Multiple clinical trials show that KSM-66®:

• Reduces cortisol levels → helping you feel calmer and less anxious

• Improves sleep quality → by lowering nighttime stress and supporting relaxation

• Boosts memory and focus → easing brain fog

• Supports energy and endurance → reducing fatigue without stimulants

• Improves sexual function and testosterone levels → supporting libido and vitality

Why we include Ashwagandha in Rebalance products

We selected Ashwagandha KSM-66® as a key ingredient because it supports what almost every modern adult struggles with: stress and sleep.

• In mellomints, Ashwagandha helps keep cortisol steady during the day, so you can focus and stay calm.

• In menomints, it works alongside sage, DIM, and magnolia bark to reduce hot flashes, brain fog, and mood swings.

• In manmints, it supports testosterone balance, stamina, and recovery.

• In DREAM, Ashwagandha helps lower nighttime cortisol so your body can rest.

No single supplement is a silver bullet, but Ashwagandha is one of the most powerful natural tools we have for restoring balance.

Why quality matters

It’s easy to find cheap Ashwagandha on the shelf, but not all extracts are created equal. Many are underdosed, cut with fillers, or made with leaves instead of roots (less effective).

That’s why we only use KSM-66®:

• Backed by 24+ double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies

• Extracted using “green chemistry” without alcohol or solvents

• Full-spectrum root-only extract for maximum potency

When you see Ashwagandha in a Rebalance formula, you know it’s the highest standard available.

The bottom line

If you’re tired of stress running the show (or of menopause symptoms stealing your sleep, energy, and peace of mind) Ashwagandha can help.

That’s why we made it one of our star ingredients. Not just because tradition says so, but because modern science proves it.
