It is its withanolides, a family of molecules specific to the plant, that supplement manufacturers are interested in — and it is their content, never the gross weight of the extract, that lets you compare two products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo features set this product apart in a very crowded category: it uses the root only, and extraction is done with water, without any chemical solvent.\u003c\/strong\u003e Many extracts on the market blend root and leaves, which is not equivalent.

If you want to place yourself under the conditions of those protocols, two capsules are what you need to take, and the bottle then covers one month. The manufacturer leaves the choice between one and two, which is honest, but you may as well know what each option represents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the regulatory side, we should be clear: \u003cstrong\u003eno health claim is authorised in Europe for ashwagandha.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not on stress, not on sleep, not on fatigue, not on performance. The dossiers submitted came to nothing. So we describe a plant, a standardised extract and directions for use, without announcing any result — which is very different from what you will read on most sites in this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe process deserves to be spelled out because it is genuinely distinctive.\u003c\/strong\u003e Extraction is entirely water-based: water, and nothing else. Many plant extracts go through organic solvents, traces of which can remain. The root, moreover, comes from organic farming, hand-harvested in Rajasthan, naturally dried, then extracted and packed in France. The bulking agent is an organic acacia fibre, and the capsule is vegetable: the formula is therefore suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eList of ingredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic KSM-66® ashwagandha root extract (\u003cem\u003eWithania somnifera\u003c\/em\u003e L.) standardised to 5% withanolides, vegetable capsule (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), bulking agent: organic acacia fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo declared allergens.

Taking it with a meal, incidentally, settles most of those inconveniences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe time of day depends on what you are looking for. The morning, if you are after support across the day; the evening, if your concern is rather the end of the day. There is no absolute rule, and many users split one capsule in the morning and one in the evening when they are on two a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuration matters more than timing.\u003c\/strong\u003e One to two months minimum: that is the period the manufacturer settles on, and it is consistent with this type of plant. Judging after a week makes no sense, and yet it is the most common mistake in this category. The 60-capsule bottle covers exactly one month at two capsules, or two months at just one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing replaces, alongside this, regular sleep and moderate physical activity — the manufacturer points it out himself, and that is more honest than most of the talk in this category. This plant combines without overlap with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/maca\"\u003emaca\u003c\/a\u003e or a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/spiruline\"\u003espirulina\u003c\/a\u003e, which rest on other foundations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is nuAshwagandha for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at an adult who wants to try this plant with a standardised, organic and traceable extract, rather than a root powder whose active content nobody knows. It is a clean product, and the transparency about origin and process is real.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe contraindications are serious and you need to read them before buying, not after.\u003c\/strong\u003e The product is not recommended for people suffering from \u003cstrong\u003ehyperthyroidism\u003c\/strong\u003e or with a family history of thyroid disease. It is not recommended if you are on \u003cstrong\u003eantidepressant or thyroid medication\u003c\/strong\u003e without the advice of a healthcare professional. It is not recommended for \u003cstrong\u003epregnant and breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e without medical advice, and is for adults only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe French national food safety agency has, moreover, published an opinion calling for vigilance over ashwagandha\u003c\/strong\u003e, flagging in particular cases of liver damage and thyroid interactions. It recommends caution for pregnant and breastfeeding women, minors, and people with a liver or thyroid condition. That is not a reason not to sell the product, it is a reason to sell it while saying so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you should not expect from it.\u003c\/strong\u003e No claim exists in Europe for this plant, neither on stress nor on sleep. It does not build muscle, does not make you lose weight and does not improve performance. Above all, it replaces no treatment: anxiety that persists, established insomnia or lasting exhaustion are matters for a doctor, and a food supplement will not answer them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAshwagandha or magnesium?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the most useful comparison in the category, and it goes in favour of the second more often than people think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium has a decisive advantage: it has authorised claims.\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal psychological function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Those are the official wordings, and no plant in this category has any. It costs less, it is taken without major contraindications, and shortfalls in intake are common in everyday diets. Our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/magnesium\"\u003emagnesium\u003c\/a\u003e section is therefore the place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha follows a different logic: it is a plant of traditional use, with a patented and standardised extract, taken in full awareness of that. Its appeal lies in the quality of the raw material — here, root only, water extraction, organic, 5% withanolides — not in efficacy demonstrated in the regulatory sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn which case is neither the answer? If your problem is falling asleep, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/melatonine\"\u003emelatonin\u003c\/a\u003e is the only molecule in this catalogue with a claim on the time it takes to fall asleep, which puts it in a class of its own. And if you are already taking a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zma\"\u003eZMA\u003c\/a\u003e in the evening, check its composition before stacking: these products often overlap, and our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/gaba\"\u003eGABA\u003c\/a\u003e section offers yet another route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many withanolides per capsule?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15 mg, for 300 mg of extract standardised to 5%. It is the only line that can be compared from one product to another: an extract standardised to 1.5% would have to weigh 1,000 mg to provide as much. Never compare the gross weight of the extract, compare the withanolides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne or two capsules a day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe published work on this patented extract most often uses 600 mg a day, which corresponds to two capsules. Even so, start with one for a week, as the manufacturer recommends, to gauge your tolerance before increasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMorning or evening?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are possible and the manufacturer leaves the choice open. The morning for support across the day, the evening for the end of the day. On two capsules, many users take one in the morning and one in the evening. In every case, take it with a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any contraindications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and they are serious. The product is not recommended in cases of hyperthyroidism or a family history of thyroid disease, on antidepressant or thyroid medication, and for pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical advice. The national food safety agency also calls for vigilance where the liver is concerned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does water extraction bring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt avoids any chemical solvent, traces of which can remain in some plant extracts. It is a more costly choice of process, combined here with an organic root hand-harvested in Rajasthan and naturally dried, with extraction and packing taking place in France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoot only, or root and leaves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis extract is obtained from the root alone. Many products on the market blend root and leaves, which gives a different composition profile for a sometimes identical stated standardisation. It is a point of comparison that few product pages mention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the capsules suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The shell is a vegetable capsule made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and the bulking agent is an organic acacia fibre. The manufacturer declares the absence of GMOs, gluten and artificial additives, as well as no allergens in the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy Nutriting's nuAshwagandha?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 60-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe.
