Ashwagandha 500 mg

A clean, single-herb ashwagandha for people who want just the root extract with a stated withanolide level, and nothing else in the capsule.

Each vegan capsule provides 500 mg of Withania somnifera root extract standardised to 2.5% withanolides. That equals 12.5 mg of declared withanolides per capsule. The other ingredients are hypoallergenic plant fibre and a vegetarian cellulose-and-water capsule.

The manufacturer directs adults to take one capsule daily, with or between meals. The 60-capsule bottle therefore contains 60 labelled daily servings. Store in a cool, dry place. Pure Encapsulations lists the product as vegan and free from wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame and gluten.

Human studies have used root-only and root-and-leaf extracts with different standardisations and daily amounts. Results from one extract cannot be transferred automatically to another, and the 500 mg headline does not by itself establish a stress or sleep outcome.

Cortisol Calm also contains ashwagandha, but as 250 mg Sensoril root-and-leaf extract per capsule alongside vitamin D3, rhodiola, magnolia and L-theanine. Its label directs two capsules per day. Combining the products would total 1,000 mg of two different ashwagandha extracts across the labelled day, not 1,000 mg of one interchangeable extract. See the Stress and Sleep guide for the dose and evidence context.
