Ashwagandha extract 1000mg per 2 capsules - 120 capsules, vegan

Ashwagandha - “Indian ginseng”

Ashwagandha (also called winter cherry, botanical: Withania somnifera) is regarded as one of the most important plants in Ayurveda with numerous applications. Its properties are similar to those of ginseng in the Chinese health care.

Ashwagandha translates as “smell of horses”, due to the penetrating odour of the root. Traditionally, horses are regarded as a symbol of strength and life force. Fact is that ashwagandha has many benefits according to previous research results.

Traditional application of ashwagandha

Ashwagandha has been known in Ayurveda (“knowledge of life”) for 4000 years. In Ayurvedic scripts it is described as a rejuvenation agent. Ashwagandha is used in Ayurveda to balance out “vata”; it reduces and “kapha” (a vata disturbance is said to manifest itself as general physical weakness, according to the Ayurvedic tradition).

Modern research about ashwagandha

Studies attribute an antioxidant effect to ashwagandha, because the withanolides increase two important antioxidants in the organism: superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase.

Standardised ashwagandha extract

Always pay attention to the amount and list of ingredients in Ayurvedic products, which indicate a high quality. For example, ashwagandha products containing at least 2.5% withanolides are of high quality.
The ashwagandha extract by Vitamintrend contains 5% withanolides, which speaks for the high quality of this product. The recommended daily intake of the ashwagandha capsules by Vitamintrend is 50mg withanolides.
