Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of nitric oxide synthase expression by Withania somnifera in macrophages.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that WS may induce the synthesis of inducible NOS expression likely by acting at transcriptional level, and could account, at least in part, for the immunostimulant properties of Withania somnifera.
Journal Article
Nutrients and botanicals for treatment of stress: adrenal fatigue, neurotransmitter imbalance, anxiety, and restless sleep.
TL;DR: The use of nutrients and botanicals to support the adrenals, balance neurotransmitters, treat acute anxiety, and support restful sleep are focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety assessment of Withania somnifera extract standardized for Withaferin A: Acute and sub-acute toxicity study
TL;DR: The no-observed-adverse-effect-level of WSE is 2000 mg/kg body weight, the highest level tested, and the potential adverse effects of a standardized Withania somnifera extract following acute and sub chronic administration are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immuno-modulation effect of sulphated polysaccharide (porphyran) from Porphyra vietnamensis
TL;DR: The results indicated that P. vietnamenis possesses potential immunomodulatory activity and has therapeutic potential for the prevention of autoimmune diseases.

A comparative pharmacological investigation of Ashwagandha and Ginseng.
TL;DR: The aqueous suspensions of roots of an Indian drug Ashwagandha and the Korean drug Ginseng were tested comparatively for 2 pharmacological activities, namely the anti-stress activity by the 'mice swimming endurance test' and anabolic activity by noting gain in body weights and levator ani muscle in rats.
