Ashwagandha Powder, 4 oz (Organic Withania Somnifera Root)

Ashwagandha root powder, finely milled from the root of Withania somnifera. 4 oz per bag, organic or wildcrafted, sourced from India where ashwagandha has been used for centuries. One ingredient, nothing added, no fillers and no anti caking agents.

Traditionally used as an adaptogen to help the body cope with everyday stress*

What is inside

Ashwagandha root, milled. That is the entire ingredient list. Not an extract, not a blend, not standardised to anything. Just the root, ground fine enough to disperse rather than clump.

Why powder instead of capsules

Two reasons, and they are both practical.

You decide the amount. A capsule gives you a fixed dose. A spoon lets you start small and adjust, which matters with a herb people take daily over months.

It goes into things. Powder stirs into a drink or a bowl and becomes part of something you were making anyway, rather than being one more thing to swallow. It also works out cheaper per gram than the capsules.

The trade off is the taste. Ashwagandha root is bitter and earthy, and in plain water you will notice it, which is why it is traditionally taken in something with body to it.

Quality and sourcing

Organic or wildcrafted depending on the harvest, from India. Third party tested for identity, microbials and heavy metals. Produced in a GMP certified facility. Packed in a kraft bag.

Frequently asked questions

How do you use ashwagandha powder?
A quarter to a half teaspoon into 8 oz of warm plant milk, a smoothie, oats or tea. No brewing and no straining. Start small and adjust, because a full teaspoon is noticeable if you are not used to it.

What does it taste like?
Bitter and earthy, with a slightly horsey note. The name itself comes from the Sanskrit for the smell of a horse. It sits much better in something with body to it than in plain water.

Is this a standardised extract?
No. This is whole milled root rather than a concentrated extract standardised to a fixed withanolide percentage. Most of the well known ashwagandha studies used standardised extracts, so the amounts are not directly comparable. If a standardised extract is what you are looking for, this is not that product.

How much should I take?
Our directions call for a quarter to a half teaspoon. That is the guidance we stand behind rather than anything more.

Powder or capsules, which should I get?
Powder if you want to control your own amount, put it into food and drink, or get more grams for your money. Ashwagandha capsules if you would rather not taste it at all, at 400 mg per capsule. Same root, same origin, different job.

Precautions

Pregnant or nursing mothers, individuals under 18, and individuals with known medical conditions should consult a physician before use.

Stir a quarter to a half teaspoon into 8 oz of warm plant milk, a smoothie, oats or tea.

Start at the lower end and adjust to taste. Warm plant milk is the closest thing to the traditional preparation. A little date syrup or cinnamon rounds it off. In a smoothie with banana it more or less disappears.
