Withania Somnifera Extract Powder
Products Description
Ashwagandha extract powder, also known as ashwagandha root extract or Indian ginseng powder, is one of the most sought-after adaptogenic herbal ingredients in the global nutraceutical industry. Derived from the root of the Indian ginseng plant, this powdered extract is standardized for bioactive compounds (called withanolides), which are responsible for its wide-ranging benefits in stress reduction, cognitive function, and hormone balance.
Our extracts offer a stable withanolide content (e.g., 2.5% or 5%), meeting the industry's need for efficacy and clean label formulations. Today, ashwagandha extract is widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, sports recovery formulas, and overall wellness products. Its popularity continues to grow as consumers seek natural ways to manage anxiety, improve sleep, and increase mental clarity.
Our ashwagandha extract powder is extracted using a gentle hydro-ethanol extraction technique that effectively retains potency and contains no residual solvents. Our powder has a high bulk density (>0.50g/ml) for easier encapsulation and mixing, and a fine screen (80-100 mesh) ensures it is more suitable for compounding into formulations.
Why choose our Withania Somnifera Extract?
1. Consistent Withanolide Standardization (2.5%–5%)
We guarantee a consistent Withanolide content (tested by HPLC) to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, thus ensuring the efficacy of the final product.
2. Sustainably Sourced, Certified Organic Rhizomes
We use raw rhizomes from organic farmers. Harvested at the peak of potency (typically after 150-180 days of growth), we ensure a higher concentration of active compounds.
3. Low Microbial Load, Clean Properties
Our powders are gently cryogenically dried and UV sterilized to maintain bioactivity while keeping microbial counts well below pharmacopeia limits (< 1,000 CFU/g for total active ingredients, < 100 CFU/g for yeasts and molds). Heavy metals, pesticides, and residual solvents are all strictly undetectable.
