Ashwagandha is perhaps the best-known herb in the modern biohacker’s cupboard. This is a standardised extract of the Withania somnifera plant, 200 mg per capsule with at least 5% withanolides. For anyone who wants to use ashwagandha deliberately and values a consistent, pure composition.
What is ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha, also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, is Withania somnifera, a small shrub from India, the Middle East and parts of Africa. Within Ayurveda, the Indian medical system with thousands of years of history, ashwagandha belongs to the adaptogens. The root and leaf contain withanolides, the plant compounds on which extracts are standardised. We make no statements about an effect on health; no claims have been approved for ashwagandha within the EU.
