Midlife brings real changes to how women experience stress, sleep, and recovery. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can lead to higher cortisol levels, restless nights, increased anxiety, and feeling constantly “on edge.” Supporting the stress response becomes essential for feeling strong, clear, and resilient.
That’s why ashwagandha is a key ingredient in ByEla Creatine+.
What Is Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to help the body manage stress. Rather than acting as a stimulant or sedative, it supports balance in the nervous system, helping the body adapt more effectively to physical and emotional stressors.
Does Ashwagandha Make You Sleepy?
Ashwagandha does not work like a sleep aid. Instead, it helps calm an overactive stress response that often interferes with sleep in midlife women. By supporting cortisol regulation, many women experience easier sleep onset, better sleep quality, and improved recovery without next-day grogginess.
Why Ashwagandha Is Especially Helpful in Midlife
Women in their 40s and 50s often experience:
-
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
-
Feeling tired but wired
-
Heightened anxiety or irritability
-
Slower recovery from stress and workouts
Ashwagandha helps address these challenges by supporting stress resilience and nervous system balance, which can positively impact mood, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
Why Dosage Matters
Most supplement blends include ashwagandha in very small amounts that are unlikely to deliver real benefits. Clinical research consistently shows that around 300 mg per day is an effective dose.
Creatine+ includes 300 mg of ashwagandha, chosen intentionally to align with research-backed levels, not marketing trends.
Why Ashwagandha Is in Creatine+
Strength in midlife isn’t just about muscle. Chronic stress can undermine performance, recovery, and energy. Creatine supports muscle and brain energy, while ashwagandha supports the stress response that allows those benefits to fully land.
Together, they support strength, resilience, and vitality for women navigating midlife.
Creatine+ is designed to support the whole system, because feeling strong today means supporting your body intelligently for tomorrow.
