// Ashwagandha — All Formats, Sourced from India

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): India's Most Studied Adaptogen

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera L. Dunal) is native to India and has been used continuously in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years as a Rasayana — a class of herbs used to promote vitality, resilience, and longevity. It is now the world's most commercially significant adaptogenic ingredient, with over 50 published clinical trials examining its effects on stress response, cortisol regulation, sleep quality, and physical performance.

This collection brings together every ashwagandha format Herbuno supplies — from standardised root extracts with verified withanolide content, to water-soluble liquid extracts, liposomal powders, whole root powders, organic grades, tisanes, and dehydrated root material. As new formats are developed and added to our range, they will appear here. Use the filters to narrow by format, grade, or availability for your specific application.

All ashwagandha material in this collection is sourced from Withania somnifera root — India's traditional specification. Root-only material aligns with the majority of published clinical evidence and produces a more consistent compound profile batch-to-batch compared to root-and-leaf blends.

Choosing the right ashwagandha format for your application: Standardised extract powders are appropriate where a specific withanolide percentage supports your label claim. Ratio extracts and whole root powders suit traditional formulations where full-spectrum compound profile is the goal. Water-soluble formats serve beverage and tincture applications. Liposomal formats target enhanced absorption positioning. If you are unsure which format fits your formulation brief, our withanolides and format guide → covers the decision framework in detail.
Specification note: The CoA format varies by product type. Standardised extracts include a withanolide assay by HPLC. Ratio extracts and whole root powders include botanical identity, heavy metals, and microbial parameters — without individual active compound assay. Check the individual product listing for the specific CoA scope before ordering.

// Who Sources Ashwagandha From Herbuno

Built for Supplement Brands, Ayurvedic Formulators, and Beverage Developers

Ashwagandha is purchased across three distinct buyer profiles with different specification requirements. Understanding which profile fits your formulation determines which product in this collection is the right choice before enquiring.

🧪

Supplement Brands & Contract Manufacturers

Sourcing standardised ashwagandha root extract (2.5%–5% withanolides by HPLC) for capsule, tablet, and sachet formulations where a specific active content supports the label claim. Requires per-lot CoA with withanolide assay, heavy metals clearance, and export documentation for US, EU, or UK regulatory submission.

🌿

Ayurvedic & Traditional Herbal Brands

Sourcing whole root powder or 10:1 ratio extract for churna formulations, Ayurvedic proprietary medicines, and traditional blend preparations where the full-spectrum root compound profile — not a single standardised active — is the formulation goal. Rasayana positioning and traditional Ayurvedic provenance are key differentiators for this buyer profile.

Functional Beverage & Tea Brands

Sourcing ashwagandha tisane-grade material or water-soluble extract for adaptogen tea blends, functional drink mixes, and RTD beverage applications. Tisane-grade ashwagandha root is cut and sifted to tea-standard particle size. Water-soluble extract disperses cleanly in aqueous beverage matrices without settling or texture issues.

// Common Questions

Ashwagandha Sourcing — Frequently Asked Questions

What withanolide percentage is available and how is it verified? +
We supply ashwagandha root extract standardised to 2.5% and 5% withanolides by HPLC. The withanolide content is verified per production lot — not by a generic reference certificate. The CoA states the specific lot number, test method (HPLC), and withanolide result as "NLT X.X%" (not less than). If your formulation requires a specific withanolide percentage not listed, contact us — custom standardisation targets can be discussed.
Is this KSM-66 ashwagandha? +
KSM-66 is a proprietary branded extract from Ixoreal Biomed — it requires a licence agreement to use the KSM-66 name on product labels. Our ashwagandha root extract is a premium non-proprietary root-only extract standardised to equivalent or higher withanolide levels. It carries the same root-only specification, the same HPLC verification, and the same traditional Ayurvedic provenance as branded extracts — without the trademark premium. If your product specifically requires the KSM-66 trademark for marketing purposes, contact us and we can discuss supply options.
What is the MOQ for ashwagandha extract? +
Standard MOQ is 1 kg for most ashwagandha products in this collection. Samples are available before bulk commitment — request a sample with CoA and SDS through our contact page. For whole root powder and tisane-grade material, larger MOQs may apply depending on the specific product and grade. Contact us with your specification and volume requirement for a precise quote.
Can you supply organic certified ashwagandha root? +
Yes — organic certified ashwagandha root powder is available in this collection. Organic material carries NOP (USDA) or EU organic certification from the farming and processing stages. CoA and certification documentation is available on request. Note that organic certified material typically carries a price premium and may have longer lead times depending on seasonal availability. Specify organic requirement at the point of enquiry.
How long does shipping from India take for ashwagandha orders? +
Standard international air freight takes 5–8 business days to the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia. Express air freight with 72-hour despatch is available for in-stock items up to 250 kg. All export documentation is prepared as standard. Contact us before placing time-sensitive orders to confirm current stock availability and lead time.
