Abstract in brief

  • This study investigated the effects of ashwagandha root extract on menopausal symptoms in women going through perimenopause, finding that it significantly reduced symptoms like hot flashes, psychological issues, and urogenital problems over 8 weeks.
  • Women taking ashwagandha showed improvements in quality of life measures and hormonal changes, including increased estrogen and decreased FSH and LH levels, compared to those taking a placebo.
  • Overall, the results suggest that ashwagandha may be a safe and effective natural option to help manage mild to moderate menopausal symptoms during perimenopause.]
