An adaptogen plant that revives fatigued skins

The pharmacological attributes associated with Ashwagandha are vast and well-documented. Among them, it exhibits anti-stress, neuroprotective, anti-arthritic, tonic, or anti-inflammatory properties. Ashwagandha, like many other Rasayana herbs, is even recognized as an adaptogen, signifying its capacity to fortify the body against various forms of stressors.

The resurgence of adaptogens is remarkable in contemporary times. These versatile botanicals are receiving accolades from consumers, particularly in cosmetics and nutraceuticals, for their ability to help the skin and body adapt to an increasingly challenging environment.

Through a comprehensive research protocol, it unveiled its ability to revitalize the skin's energy levels and combat the detrimental effects of digital stress.

EnergiNius® stimulates the synthesis of Extracellular Matrix (ECM) proteins, a process that typically diminishes with aging and ends with a loss of skin tonicity. Elastin and Fibrillin-1 synthesis increased by a +84% and +87%, respectively, in a monolayer culture of fibroblasts treated with the active.

Moreover, in fibroblasts exposed to digital stress (AVL), it revealed 3 main properties:

• Its ability to fight against the decrease of gene expression related to mitochondria and actin cytoskeleton. It protects the transcriptome of dermal fibroblasts against such a stress.  
• The maintenance of the integrity of the mitochondrial network, preventing its fragmentation and ensuring the full restoration of ATP production.
• Safeguarded mobility and communication properties of fibroblasts from the adverse effects of screen light exposure. Cellular activity as well as the production of key matrix components are maintained.
