Botanical Extract
Ashwagandha
Withania somnifera
Ashwagandha root extract is one of the most established adaptogens in Ayurvedic tradition and now one of the most commercially significant botanicals in the global supplement market. Its defining actives, withanolides, are steroidal lactones from the dried root; root-only extraction (vs. whole-plant) is the cleaner, better-tolerated basis most major branded ashwagandha ingredients use.
