Products Description

Ashwagandha extract powder, derived from the Indian ashwagandha root, is a natural adaptogen widely used to relieve stress, balance mood, and boost overall vitality. The main bioactive compounds, withanolides, are responsible for most of the benefits, especially in cortisol regulation and immune modulation. Our extracts are standardized to contain up to 10% withanolides, providing a strong and reliable ingredient for formulations in dietary supplements, functional beverages, and herbal capsules.
With growing consumer demand for adaptogens, especially in the areas of stress relief, sleep, and cognitive support, ashwagandha remains a top botanical in the global nutraceutical market. Our ashwagandha powder is unique in its low-temperature extraction process, which helps preserve a wider range of withanolides—not only in abundance, but also in quality and variety, including withaferin A and withanoside IV.
We have full traceability, source organically grown roots, and test every batch using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to ensure consistency. With certifications such as ISO22000, FSSC22000, Halal, cGMP and Organic.

Why choose our Ashwagandha extract powder?

1. Pure root extraction
We extract from mature Ashwagandha roots (not leaves) to ensure its alkaloid content is purer and has higher clinical application value.
2. Low temperature spray drying
Our extracts are processed at controlled low temperature (<50°C), retaining heat-sensitive bioactive components and reducing degradation.
3. Fine mesh powder (≥95% passing 80 mesh)
Provides better dispersibility and flowability in formulations, ideal for capsules, stick packs and functional beverages.
4.True solubility optimization
We use food-grade dispersion carriers to improve water dispersibility, making it easier to apply downstream in instant beverages and premixes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does ashwagandha help with anxiety or depression?

Yes. Clinical studies have shown that ashwagandha helps reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety by regulating cortisol levels and enhancing GABAergic activity.

2. Does ashwagandha help with sleep?

Yes. It is often used as a natural sleep aid because it helps with relaxation and reduces nighttime cortisol levels, which improves sleep quality and sleep duration.

3. Is it safe to take ashwagandha daily?

For most people, yes. Based on clinical data, daily doses of 300-600 mg of extract (containing 5% withanolides) are generally considered safe for up to 12 weeks. Long-term use should be monitored.

4. What is the difference between ashwagandha root powder and extract powder?

Extract powder is standardized (usually containing 2.5%-10% withanolides), which means it is more concentrated and more potent than regular root powder. This allows it to have a greater effect at lower doses.
