Everything you need to know about this standardised ashwagandha ingredient, history, science, grades and certifications.
The name "Ashwagandha" comes from the Sanskrit Ashwa (horse) and Gandha (smell), reflecting its traditional link to strength and vitality. Used for over 3,000 years in Ayurveda as a Rasayana, Withania somnifera remains one of the world’s most widely studied adaptogenic botanicals.
Backed by a CTRI-registered, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (CTRI/2025/03/083139) demonstrating significant improvements in muscle strength, endurance, testosterone and cortisol reduction over 60 days. Full-spectrum withanolide profile preserved across grades.
