Why are there two ashwagandha ingredients compared to other brands like Organic India that only show one?

Great question! Our answer might be a bit elaborate but Himalaya has been doing this since 1930, so we’ve had a few harvests to get our processes right! To explain, different parts of each plant have different amount and even types of compounds. Sometimes, we only want one part of a plant, like a tomato or an apple, but in plant medicine, often the compounds we need are found in the roots, leaves or even the flowers and the fruits in different concentrations. As such, to get a full-spectrum and holistic profile of the plant chemistry, we use different ways of extracting, for example, using water, alcohol or super critical CO2 to concentrate those compounds into the most potent forms so you don’t have to take too many pills. You will see the fruit of that effort and specialization in the back of our labels where we go through the effort to show which parts of the plant was extracted, how much was concentrated, and even at times the way we extracted it. You will also notice that we often include a standard marker in our supplement facts box, in this case, ‘withanolide’. To explain, after we extract and concentrate any plant medicine, we need to make sure that each batch is as close to the last batch we made. In plant chemistry, we call this certainty a ‘plant fingerprint’ and it helps us to make sure that every tablet we make is consistent in strength, purity, and efficacy. In fact, we performed clinical trials on our Ashwagandha extracts using the same withanolide fingerprint you see on the back of our bottles to make sure we did it right and to make sure that no matter where our Ashwagandha goes in the world, our customers can expect the same great Ashwagandha effect! If we didn’t measure for that same fingerprint with every batch we might not know if it is the same strength as last time or even if we harvested at the right time! That mistake is often why some people will try an herb but will get different results from bottle to bottle. It’s because the product wasn’t studied for a standard fingerprint to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. All of this work goes on in the background and among our over 200 scientists on staff to ensure that your expectations match our product promise but unfortunately, all that science is hard to fit in a supplement facts box and that’s why it can sometimes be confusing to read in the back panel. However, I hope that answers your question and please don’t hesitate to ask more!

Does this have carbs? If so, how many?

Hi. The label does not list a nutritional breakdown. It does not have any additives or gluten just three types of Ashwaganda. Hope this is helpful.

is the mg of ashwagandha 250 or 500 per capsule?

It says it is 10 mg of supercritical root extract, 280 mg of root extract and 380 mg of root powder. The first two are standardized, and all are organic. And it gives a total of 2.96 mg of Withanolides.

Surprisingly Good!

I recently started taking Himalaya Organic Ashwagandha, and I’m genuinely impressed with how much it has helped me. Within the first week, I noticed that I was falling asleep more easily and waking up feeling more rested. My mind feels clearer during the day, and I’m able to stay focused on tasks without constantly getting distracted. One of the biggest changes for me has been how much calmer I feel. I wouldn’t say it magically fixed everything overnight, but I definitely feel a lot less anxious and more balanced overall. It’s like my stress responses have finally dialed down. The capsules are easy to take, the ingredients are clean, and I love that the product is organic. If you’re looking for something natural to support relaxation, focus, and overall well-being, this is absolutely worth trying

Outstanding product - it works!!!

I have used this product for several months now. I love that the caplet dissolves very quickly. It is gentle on an empty stomach and starts working quickly. As a registered dietitian, I strongly believe that Ashwagandha is a great product to help the body manage its stress response better. We can all use that! Ashwagandha has been used effectively for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Now that is the definition of "safe and effective"! I appreciate the Himalaya Company's dedication to high quality products!

More energy, focus and better mood.

I purchased this to help with better sleep at night but had no clue about the other amazing benefits. I have been using this for only a few days and feel so different! I have more energy, better focus, less foggy brain and my mood feels lighter/happier. My teenager has also been taking it and said he is noticing a huge difference too especially with staying focused at school. This truly might be an answer to my prayers. I do recommend taking it in the morning. I made the mistake of taking it at night and was awake most of the night.

Hot flashes lessoned

I have been hit hard with the hot flash perimenopausal bug, and heard about using anshwagandha and black cohosh together to help with hot flashes. I asked my doctor about them and she scoffed and made a reference to them being like placebo pills and then proceeded to want to offer to prescribe to me something over the counter. I instead decided to try these “placebos” first, as no one in the medical industry really seems to know how to handle women and their hormonal evolutions without throwing drugs at it, and so I bought both this and the black cohosh. Let me just say that it works, at least for me, it works really really really well. It’s been a game changer. Now it doesn’t make them go away all together, I will still get some from time to time, but the amount and the intensity are extremely curbed since taking these. I also notice when I miss taking them during a day. I’m definitely a believer after experiencing improvement. Would recommend.

Pienso que la Ashwagandha es un suplemento esencial para los hombres. Yo lo tomo en épocas con mucho desgaste físico y/o mental y me va de maravilla. Es un adaptógeno, ayuda a reducir el estrés, la ansiedad y la fatiga y a descansar mejor. Tiene también otros efectos beneficiosos documentados (ayuda a controlar la glucemia, aumenta la producción de testosterona, es neuroprotector, etc). No parece tener efectos secundarios importantes si se toma en dosis normales y durante una temporada, únicamente molestias gastrointestinales en personas sensibles. Si tomamos alguna medicación también tenemos que tener en cuenta posibles interacciones. El Ashwagandha puede bajar la glucemia, si tenemos diabetes y estamos tomando medicación para ello tendríamos que tenerlo en cuenta. Esta marca no es barata, pero está muy reconocida. Está fabricado en la India bajo unos altos estándares de calidad. No son cápsulas, son tabletas pequeñitas (ver foto) que se tragan con facilidad y solo hay que tomar una porque incluyen tanto la raíz en polvo, como su extracto, por lo que son más potentes que los suplementos que solo llevan raíz en polvo. Después de dos semanas tomándolo he notado mejora en el sueño y menos ansiedad. Estoy contento con la compra.

I started taking this product a few months ago after hearing about its adaptogenic benefits, and I can honestly say it's been a game-changer for my overall well-being. From the first few weeks, I noticed a significant difference in my ability to handle daily stress. Things that used to overwhelm me now feel much more manageable. There's a sense of calm clarity that’s hard to describe, like my nervous system finally got the reset it needed. One of the biggest benefits I’ve experienced is improved sleep quality. Helps with falling asleep faster while waking up feeling more rested, without that groggy, foggy feeling. On top of that, energy levels during the day have noticeably improved. It’s not a jittery, caffeine-type energy, but a steady, grounded sense of stamina and focus. If you're dealing with stress, low energy, mood swings, or trouble sleeping, I highly recommend giving Ashwagandha a try.

Ottimo prodotto a un prezzo concorrenziale. L'ho preso (e continuo a prenderlo) e trovo giovamento, soprattutto mi da più energia e mi fa sentire meno stanca e mi sento più calma e concentrata. E' in tavolette di dimensioni ridotte che si inghiottono facilmente.
