Health+ Ashwagandha with KSM-66, 90 Capsules
Ashwagandha is a plant found in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The name comes from Indian and means something like "smell of the horse". In Germany, this plant is also known as sleeping berry, winter cherry or Indian ginseng. If you look back in history, you will find that Ashwagandha has been known in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years.
As with most plants, the best and most concentrated ingredients are not found in the leaves, but in the roots. In addition to fatty acids, amino acids, cholines, alkaolides and especially withanolides can also be found here.
And there we are with the main active ingredient of this medicinal herb. The withanolides are responsible for the effect that is appreciated and loved all over the world. Their proportion in the extract should be as high as possible. But beware! Not all information is correct. Why? Many manufacturers state a value beyond the 8-9% mark, which is not entirely correct. This value can only be reached if a gravimetric analysis is performed. To keep it simple, here the amount of fabric is done by measuring the weight. The problem here is that not only withanolides are measured, but also other, similar substances. The concentration can be overestimated by a factor of 2 to 3.
In our extract, the withanolide content is measured at the molecular level using the HPCL method and is one of the most accurate measurement methods! In addition, no alcohol or other chemical additives are used in the manufacturing process!
How does Ashwagandha work?
Ashwagandha is considered a so-called adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that trigger or support an adaptation reaction in the body. This can increase resilience. Generally speaking, adaptogens have a balancing effect on the body, both mentally and physically. Important to mention: Adaptogens are usually free of side effects and non-toxic to humans.
