An Insider’s Guide to the Gaia Herbs Ashwagandha Root & Adrenal Health Daily Support Study
As we said, this study is a big-affirming deal for Gaia Herbs and traditional herbalism, so let’s get into the details.
The study design was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study on the effects of Gaia Herbs Adrenal Health Daily Support, Gaia Herbs Ashwagandha Root, or placebo on modulation of the HPA axis and related symptoms.
What exactly does all this mean? Let’s break down the scientific jargon:
- The study participants received either Gaia Herbs Adrenal Health Daily Support/Daytime HPA, the Ashwagandha supplement, or a placebo (placebo-controlled),
- At random (researchers or participants didn't get to choose who got what product),
- Not knowing which product they were taking (double-blind).
- The three groups were then observed and compared (parallel group studies compare two or more groups).
- HPA Axis modulation relates to the products’ effects on regulation of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis which is central to the body's stress response (more on this to come).
This type of rigorous study design helps eliminate common research pitfalls such as researcher or participant bias, the placebo- or nocebo-effect (participants believing they experience changes because they know what product they’re taking), and limited comparison perspectives.
In the words of Timothy Murray, Ph.D, Quality and R&D Director, Gaia Herbs:
“In the realm of herbal supplements, ‘Clinically Studied’ stands as a resounding beacon in consumer preferences, consistently steering purchase intent. At Gaia Herbs, we recognize the significance of this emphasis, passionately embracing Clinical Studies to underscore the true merits of our offerings.

The results were incredible, showing improvements in stress perception, mood, anxiousness, sleep, and fatigue.

How Adrenal Health Support Works: Understanding the Formula and Its Function
Now that you understand the study, let’s look at how the ingredients (including Ashwagandha) in Adrenal Health Daily Support specifically works on adrenal and HPA axis function.
The adrenal glands (part of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis) play a crucial role in managing stress by producing hormones like cortisol.
These hormones help regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, immune response, and blood pressure.
When we experience chronic stress, our adrenal glands can become compromised, and the HPA axis can become dysregulated, leading to fatigue, anxiety, and other health issues.
We recognize the importance of supporting these vital glands to maintain overall well-being. So, at the heart of our Adrenal Health Daily Support supplement is a synergistic blend of adaptogenic herbs, carefully selected for their ability to help the body adapt to stress and promote balance.
One key ingredient is Rhodiola rosea, an adaptogen known for its ability to increase resilience to stress and fatigue.
Rhodiola works alongside other adaptogens like Holy Basil and Ashwagandha to support a healthy stress response, helping you feel more energized and focused throughout the day.
In addition to adaptogens, Adrenal Health Daily Support also includes nourishing botanicals like Schisandra and Oats, which further contribute to adrenal health and overall vitality.
These ingredients work together to promote a sense of well-being from within, allowing you to face life's challenges with greater ease and resilience.
Our products, including Adrenal Health Daily Support, are packed with the highest quality herbs, free of added fillers or artificial additives.
We also prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility, sourcing ingredients ethically and supporting regenerative farming practices.
Integrating Adrenal Health Daily Support into your Daily Routine is Simple and Convenient.
Just take one capsule twice daily with meals and let the power of nature support your body's stress response system.
Whether navigating a demanding job, juggling family responsibilities, or simply seeking a greater sense of balance in your life, we offer a natural solution to help your body thrive.
