1. Abstract
In the high-stakes world of sports, athletes are constantly exposed to intense physical and mental stress, which can weaken their immune systems and make them more susceptible to illnesses and injuries. To address this, there is a growing interest in natural, immunity-boosting solutions that can enhance performance, aid recovery, and promote overall well-being without the side effects often associated with synthetic supplements. Medicinal plants like Chlorophytumborivilianum (Safed Musli) and Withaniasomnifera (Ashwagandha) have emerged as powerful natural remedies due to their holistic benefits. This paper explores the role of these two medicinal plants in strengthening immunity, improving athletic performance, and supporting recovery in sport players. By examining their botanical properties, chemical composition, and physiological effects, this study highlights their potential as safe and effective supplements for athletes.
