Ashwagandha, also known as winter cherry, is a root grown in India’s fertile soils. It’s known to many herbalists as the Ayurvedic answer to ginseng and is a powerful adaptogenic herb. It has been used throughout India for thousands of years as a tonic to support vitality in people of all ages and to enhance reproductive function in both men and women.
Our broad-spectrum ashwagandha supplement contains the highest-grade, sustainably grown organic root and is carefully selected to bring its goodness and eastern promise to you.
Long prized by India’s ancients for its reputed powers of rejuvenation, ashwagandha is now receiving increased attention in the light of recent research. Research that is providing supporting evidence to what Indian’s have always known: that this unique herb has distinctive health properties that can help with:
– Stress management.
– Increasing physical fitness with its adaptogenic action – decreases cellular sensitivity to stress.
– Management of conditions either caused or worsened by stress.
– Support of a healthy immune system as it possesses significant antioxidant activity.
Ashwagandha shares a lot of similarities with Rhodiola (to be found in our store) and most people just love the combination of the two together because its incredibly synergistic action – Rhodiola taken in the morning energizes and brings focus, while Ashwagandha taken afternoon gives more relaxed state of mind.

It is very important to take Ashwagandha in the right dosage.
Most human studies on Ashwagandha have tested effects of dosage of 600–1200 mg of Ashwagandha root extract 1.5% withanolides per day; they have found this dosage to be both safe and effective (example randomized controlled trials: pubmed/19718255 and pubmed/23439798).
That is why our Ashwagandha capsules contain 1.5% withanolides extract equivalent to 1300mg dried herb and recommended dosage is 1 to 2 capsules a day.
Ashwagandha’s active ingredients, withanolides (notably Withaferin A) can cause toxicity when are provided at too high of a concentrated dose. This may cause exactly opposite than expected effects: thyroid issues and hormonal imbalance, worsen anxiety, male libido issues as well as cause skin rashes and acidity and ulcers issues. Therefore, as Paracelcius said: “the dose makes the poison” – it is advised to avoid increasing recommended dosage. As with most herbs – a little goes a long way.
