Ashwagandha Extract

Withania somnifera — standardised root extract, KSM-66®/Sensoril® grade. Our highest-volume line, supplied for stress-support and recovery formulations.

5% withanolides 300–600mg trade dose ref. COA per batch
Overview

A stress-support staple, standardised the way buyers expect.

Ashwagandha root extract is the most consistently reordered line in our range. It's supplied standardised to 5% withanolides — matching the specification buyers recognise from KSM-66® and Sensoril® branded material — so it drops into an existing formulation without a requalification headache.

It's sold as a fine powder suited to capsule-fill, and every batch carries a certificate of analysis confirming withanolide content by HPLC alongside heavy metal, microbial and pesticide screening. See Quality Assurance for the full testing process.

Sourcing & ethics

Where it comes from, and how we hold that to a standard.

Trade buyers increasingly need to answer sourcing questions themselves — here's what we can tell you about this specific ingredient.

GMP-certified processing

Grown and processed at a GMP-certified facility in India, audited on our own schedule rather than taken on trust from a spec sheet — see Quality Assurance.

Cultivated, not wild-harvested

Ashwagandha root is commercially cultivated rather than wild-collected, which matters for supply consistency and takes pressure off wild plant populations.

Long-term supplier relationships

We work with established processing partners on an ongoing basis rather than opportunistic spot-buying, which supports both batch-to-batch consistency and supply continuity.

Batch traceability

Every batch is traceable back to its processing facility and harvest window — ask if you need this documented for your own supply-chain due diligence.

Common questions

Ashwagandha, answered.

Standard supply is a generic 5% withanolide extract matching the specification buyers recognise from both branded ingredients. Branded KSM-66® or Sensoril® material can be sourced on request — ask when you enquire and we'll confirm pricing and lead time for the branded option.

By HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography), per batch. The certificate of analysis shows the tested withanolide percentage for the specific batch you're buying, not a representative average.

The extract itself is plant-derived with no animal-origin ingredients. Full allergen and vegan-status declarations are confirmed on the certificate of analysis and can be included in your label copy.

It follows the standard Starter tier from 1–10kg/month — see Wholesale & Trade Accounts for the full tier structure. As our highest-volume line, larger quantities are generally the easiest SKU to fulfil quickly.

See the Safety & Risk Information above for known considerations. This isn't medical advice — consumer-facing products should carry appropriate guidance to consult a healthcare professional, particularly around thyroid conditions, pregnancy, and existing medication.
