Studies on animals with type-2 diabetes found that hyperglycemia could be reduced and insulin sensitivityimproved when taking ashwagandha.4 Other research indicates that the herb can also cholesterol-lowering benefits as well.41
Results of a clinical trial published in 2009 demonstrated that oral intake of a combination of ashwagandha and shilajit significantly reduced fasting blood sugar in diabetic patients. This study sought to determine the effects of combining two herbs which smaller studies indicated had beneficial effects by themselves.41
Participants had been newly-diagnosed with type-2 diabetes, and results were compared to pre-treatment levels. After four weeks of taking two 500-mg capsules twice a day treatment, along with restricted diet, 18 of the 32 participants showed significant improvement in both blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Each capsule contained 250 mg each of ashwagandha and shilajit.41
