Ashwagandha is a plant from the nightshade family, also known as Indian ginseng. The root is traditionally used and naturally contains substances such as withanolides. The leaf is also processed in this supplement.
Extract from the root of ashwagandha is traditionally used the most and naturally contains a broader variety of withanolides. The leaf extract usually contains higher concentrations of withanolides, but with a slightly different composition.
Withanolides are natural constituents characteristic of ashwagandha. They are named after the genus name Withania. In withanolide glycosides, a withanolide is linked to a sugar molecule. These substances are used as markers to establish the composition of the extract.
A standardised extract always contains a fixed amount of a certain component, in this case withanolide glycosides. This ensures that the composition remains the same between different production batches.
Ashwagandha can interact with medicines, including thyroid medication. If you are taking medication, always consult a doctor before using ashwagandha.
The manufacturer advises taking the capsule with a meal of your choice. For many people, taking a supplement is more comfortable with something in the stomach. A regular meal, such as breakfast or dinner, also helps you to take the capsule at the same time each day, so you are less likely to forget it.
