Ashwaganda complex

Ashwagandha Complex contains adaptogenic herbs and compounds used for stress support.* It includes Ashwagandha, Licorice, Skullcap and Korean Ginseng.

These herbs have been traditionally used in herbal preparations to:

• Work as tonic to maintain or improve general well-being*
• Help the body adapt to the changes of everyday life*
• Promote vitality and stamina in people of any age*
• Maintain healthy mood balance*

This combination of herbs contains many compounds including steroidal compounds (including the complex mixture of steroidal saponins called ginsenosides), alkaloids, triterpenoid saponins (especially glycyrrhizin), other saponins and many flavonoids. The Korean Ginseng component of this tablet is standardized to contain 1.68 mg per tablet of ginsenosides (standardized to contain Ginsenosides Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rb2, Rc & Rd) to ensure optimal strength and quality.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an Indian (Ayurvedic) herb which contains a group of clinically important steroidal compounds referred to collectively as withanolides. Ashwagandha contains more than fifty withanolides which vary greatly depending upon the geographic location and plant part. The withanolide profile and content is a key determinant of Ashwagandha quality and efficacy. Liquid Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) is the method of choice for characterizing such a wide range of similar compounds and unequivocably identifying key major components such as withaferin A and withanolide A. This technique is used routinely in the MediHerb Quality Control Laboratories to identify and analyze Ashwagandha and other saponin-containing herbs.
