Franco Cavaleri, a biomedical researcher and true biohacker, transformed his life and career through self-experimentation, culminating in winning the IFBB Mr. North America title. His journey fueled his rise as a scientist, thought leader, author and entrepreneur in creating potent nutraceuticals to optimize the full potential of body and mind.

In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety are not just personal challenges; they're global phenomena. Amidst this rising tide of mental health concerns, Ashwagandha, an ancient herb revered in Ayurvedic medicine, is making a significant comeback. Supported by the innovative scientific research of Franco Cavaleri and one of Biologic Pharmamedical’s brand partners, Nunu Bioceuticals, Ashwagandha is now recognized not only for its stress-relieving properties but also for its potential to enhance cognitive function, balance hormones, and support overall well-being.

Unlocking Ashwagandha’s potential


Franco Cavaleri’s recent studies delve into the cellular interactions of different Ashwagandha extracts, unveiling how these interactions can positively affect health markers. Specific extracts like Ashwith™ and Regenolide™, each designed for targeted therapeutic purposes, showcase the herb's adaptogenic capabilities. Ashwith™, optimized for oral consumption, excels in reducing oxidative stress and enhancing the body's antioxidant response, which is crucial for managing systemic inflammation, a key factor in chronic disease and stress.


Ashwagandha has been recognised as an adaptogenic herb that helps ameliorate so many conditions that it can sound a little far-fetched. However, the different benefits are associated with different withanolides amongst the 35, but the proportions and quantity of each change from batch to batch. Franco Cavaleri’s research team has been studying the 35 withanolides, the phytochemicals in ashwagandha responsible for these activities, and have isolated the ones responsible for each indication. Not all ashwagandhas are extracted in the same way, and not all extracts have the same withanolide profile. Additionally, from extract to extract, these proportions can shift within a guaranteed total of the usual 5% withanolide content. Ashwith™, for instance, hones in on the specific withanolides responsible for stress resilience and protection from prolonged elevated cortisol and other stress hormones. These identified bio-actives are maintained at functional levels in Ashwith™ from batch to batch within the boosted 12% withanolide total to ensure the indication claim is maintained. That is the difference. That makes a difference.


Benefits of Nu Ashwagandha

 

Nu Ashwagandha, utilizing Ashwith™ technology, offers a refined approach to harnessing Ashwagandha’s benefits:


  • Stress and anxiety reduction: Significantly protects cells from elevated cortisol levels, mitigating the physical and psychological impacts of stress.

  • Cognitive enhancement: Promotes memory retention and cognitive agility by combating oxidative stress.

  • Physical health improvements: Aids in muscle strength, supports healthy weight management, and boosts cardiorespiratory endurance.

  • Hormonal balance: Helps maintain normal thyroid function, which is crucial for metabolic balance and overall health.
