Withania somnifera/Finding
One finding, on its own
A single claim from the graph, with the evidence strength computed from its study, the sentence it was drawn from, and the paper. This address does not change.
Increases overall exercise performance (pooled composite)
StrongEvidence strength: strong. Randomised human trials or their synthesis, with the effect's size and interval recorded and no recorded weakness outstanding.Finding“The three-level random-effects model showed that oral ashwagandha supplementation was associated with improved overall exercise performance (Hedges’ g = 0.47, 95% CI [0.25, 0.69], p < 0.001; I2 = 60%; 95% prediction interval [−0.40, 1.33]; moderate certainty).”
