This study is looking at how well two different Ashwagandha root extracts, a "Proprietary Blend of Ashwagandha" and "KSM-66 Ashwagandha root extract," work to reduce stress and anxiety, and if they are safe. It also compares them to a placebo (a pill with no active medicine). We're looking for adults aged 18 to 65 who are experiencing signs of stress, like difficulty concentrating, anxiety, or fatigue. The main way we'll know if the treatments are working is by measuring your serum cortisol levels (a stress hormone in your blood) after 8 weeks. This study is currently unclear on its status and plans to enroll about 51 participants.

Study design

This is a randomized, double-blind study, meaning participants are assigned to one of three groups by chance, and neither you nor the study staff will know which treatment you are receiving. It involves about 51 participants.

What's involved

You would take one capsule twice daily for 8 weeks. This includes visits for medical history, physical exams, blood draws to check cortisol levels, and completing self-assessment questionnaires.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your cortisol levels will be measured at the start of the study and again at Week 8.
