What is ashwagandha good for?

This is exactly the question the longevity and supplement market makes big promises about, and those promises are precisely what is not allowed. No health claims have been approved for ashwagandha within the EU. If you come across a webshop telling you exactly what ashwagandha does for you, it is overstepping the mark. What we can tell you: what ashwagandha is, where it occurs naturally and how you use it. What you want from it is up to you.

What does adaptogen mean?

Adaptogen is a traditional term from herbal practice for a group of plants long associated with coping with changing circumstances. It is a category from Ayurveda, not a medical or EU-recognised effect.

What does standardised to 5% withanolides mean?

Withanolides are the most studied plant compounds in ashwagandha. Standardising means that every capsule contains a fixed, controlled amount of them, so that the composition stays the same from batch to batch.

How do you take ashwagandha?

One capsule twice a day with water, preferably with a meal. With a herbal extract, consistent use over several weeks makes more sense than a one-off intake.

Who is better off not using ashwagandha?

Do not use ashwagandha during pregnancy, with an overactive thyroid, or in combination with antidepressants or thyroid medication. In those cases consult your doctor or pharmacist. Keep the jar out of reach of children.

Reviews

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.

Quality and origin

Augment Life’s ashwagandha is harvested and processed according to international standards such as GMP and HACCP, and every batch is tested for purity, identity and stability. The extract is standardised to at least 5% withanolides, so the composition stays consistent between batches.

Sustainable packaging

How do you use it?

Take one capsule twice daily with water, preferably with a meal. Do not use ashwagandha during pregnancy, with an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), or in combination with certain medication such as antidepressants or thyroid medication. In those cases, consult your doctor or pharmacist first.
