Withanolides (Core Active Ingredients)

The signature active ingredients of Ashwagandha Extract are Withanolides, including Withanolide A, Withaferin A, Somniferin and other steroidal lactone compounds, which serve as the core standard for judging product quality and content in the industry. These compounds possess outstanding anti-stress, soothing, antioxidant and immune-regulating properties.

They help alleviate physical fatigue, mental anxiety and poor sleep, acting as the core functional substances of Ashwagandha.
