Ashwagandha - GymBeam

Ashwagandha, also known as sleeping nightshade or Indian winter cherry, is one of the best-known adaptogenic plants in the Ayurvedic tradition. You may also encounter it under the names ashwagandha or Indian ginseng.

Each tablet contains 200 mg of root extract at a ratio of 25:1, which means that 5 g of root was used to produce it. Even more important than the ratio itself, however, is the standardization to 5% withanolides, the main active compounds in ashwagandha. This ensures that each tablet provides exactly 10 mg of withanolides, rather than an amount that varies with the quality of the raw material.

The product is manufactured in a facility certified to ISO 9001 with an established HACCP system, and we regularly test it for heavy metals and microbiological purity. It is also free from gluten, lactose and GMOs and is suitable for vegans.

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, a plant that helps the body cope with stress. That is why people often turn to it during particularly demanding periods in their personal and professional lives.

The active compounds in ashwagandha are withanolides, a group of steroidal lactones commonly used to assess the quality of extracts.

This extract is standardized to contain 5% withanolides, providing 10 mg per tablet. It is made from the root, the part of the plant used in most clinical studies.

The Latin name Withania somnifera also refers to sleep, which inspired the Czech name vitánie snodárná.

Based on available data, taking breaks is not necessary. Ashwagandha is not a substance to which the body develops a tolerance that would cause it to stop working. Its effects build gradually. Do not expect results after the first dose.
