What is Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)?

Ashwagandha is considered the favorite plant of Ayurvedic medicine. Its status is comparable to that of ginseng in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), earning it the nickname “Indian Ginseng.” The origin of this nightshade plant is believed to be in Africa. However, Indian ginseng is also native to Pakistan, China, the Mediterranean region, and India. The herbaceous shrub can grow up to 2 meters tall and closely resembles the well-known Physalis with its oval leaves and cherry-like flowers. However, one should not make the mistake of eating the hard red berries — they are inedible.

Our Ashwagandha tablets are produced in line with Ayurvedic principles. We use only Ashwagandha roots from ecologically sustainable cultivation. These are carefully chopped, gently dried, and finely ground. Only after all steps have passed our strict quality control are the raw materials gently pressed into tablets.

THE Tonic of Ayurveda

Ashwagandha has been successfully used in Ayurveda for over 3,000 years and continues to play a vital role. Especially in cases of fatigue and for boosting life energy, Indian ginseng is considered the most important strengthening herb and is assigned to the so-called Sattva type. This personality type is characterized by knowledge, purity, inner contentment, and joy. Ayurvedic medicine believes that Ashwagandha can uniquely awaken and enhance these positive traits in every person.

Even those not seeking personal development can benefit from Indian ginseng, according to Ayurveda. This strengthening remedy is also used by experienced therapists for chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, and to calm the mind. Especially in cases of sleep issues, traditional medicine swears by Ashwagandha, which is why it is also called the “sleep cherry.”

Withania somnifera contains valuable compounds such as: alkaloids like anaferine, anahygrine, cuscohygrine, nicotine, tropine, and withasomnine. Withanolides such as somniferanolide, somniwithanolide, withaferin A, and withasomniferanolide.

This dietary supplement contains no artificial coloring, no flavoring, no preservatives, no gelatin, no added sugars, no lactose, and no gluten.

Ingredients

Includes two commonly used and safe cellulose-based excipients labeled MCC / HPMC for tablet stability, both of plant origin, as well as a very small amount (just a few parts per thousand by weight) of the equally common and safe substance magnesium stearate.

Recommended Usage

Take one tablet three times a day with plenty of water. Ideally, take the tablets before meals.

It is better not to take all three tablets at once but spread them throughout the day (e.g., one in the morning, one at midday, and one in the evening) with sufficient water. Taking the tablets with or shortly after meals is generally not recommended; taking them before meals is preferable. However, this is not a strict rule.

Important Information

Ashwagandha tablets may cause drowsiness — as the German name “Schlafbeeren” (sleep berries) suggests. If you notice this side effect, it is best to take the three tablets in the evening, ideally before a light meal.

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
