ViridianOrganic Ashwagandha Extract

Ashwagandha is a herb (Withania somnifera) that has been used for centuries in the Ayurvedic tradition. It belongs to the nightshade family and is often processed in supplements in the form of extracts or powder.

Ashwagandha mainly grows in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. The plant thrives in warm, dry climates and has long been cultivated there for use in food and herbal preparations.

A standardized extract means that the content of certain characteristic substances is constant. In this case, the extract contains at least 5% withanolides, ensuring the composition per capsule remains the same.

Withanolides are naturally occurring plant compounds in ashwagandha. They belong to a group of bioactive compounds characteristic of this plant and are often used as a quality measure for the extract.

The root of the ashwagandha plant is usually used for supplements, as it is a concentrated source of the characteristic components. Additionally, the root is traditionally the most commonly used part in extracts and powders.

A full-spectrum extract contains a broad range of natural components from the plant, in a ratio similar to the original plant structure.
