Ashwagandha, used for centuries in India to protect the body from
disease and stress, contains compounds that protect the brain's
memory center, the hippocampus, which can be damaged by stress
and depression.
Mood disorders can cause lingering issues with memory and
concentration, even after depression symptoms improve. Sensoril, an
herbal extract derived from Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), has
shown potential to improve cognitive abilities, improve memory in
people with bipolar disorder, enhancing short-term recall, mental
speed, and social intuition. The typical starting dose is 250mg daily
for the first week, which can be increased to 500mg daily, if well-
tolerated. This dose can be taken all at once or divided into two
doses, with or without food, at any time of day.
Sensoril is generally well-tolerated and has minimal drug
interactions, but it can elevate thyroid levels, so those with thyroid
issues should monitor their levels closely. It is advised not to exceed
the recommended daily dose.
