Ashwagandha Root

Solgar Ashwagandha Root Extract is a high potency herbal extract that may help support to boost energy as well as support stress, anxiety and better sleep. 

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera or Winter Cherry) root is a herb that has been used in traditional medicine of India and has been thought to help improve physical energy and athletic ability, increase immunity to colds and infections and increase sexual capacity and fertility.

Ashwagandha may also have a mild sedative effect on the central nervous system and may in case be used as a muscle relaxant. Also Ashwagandha has traditionally been used to boost male libido and increase male fertility. It is widely used in southern Asia as a male sexuality tonic.

Solgar’s Standardized Full Potency (SFP) Herbs are developed through a unique process that integrates the ideologies of both traditional herbalism and standardized herbal technology. To ensure consistent and reliable phytonutrient levels, we isolate a controlled amount of these important active plant compounds. Then, we blend these enhanced, “standardized” compounds with all of the components that occur naturally in the whole raw herb. The result is a potent, premium-quality standardized herbal extract with all of the synergistic and beneficial qualities found in nature.
