Ashwagandha Capsules for purity and convenience Ashwagandha has been used for thousands of years for a variety of health benefits. It is one of the most important herbs in Ayurveda, a form of alternative medicine based on Indian principles of natural healing. In Sanskrit, ashva means "horse" and gandha means "smell" and the root is said to confer the strength and virility of a horse. Ashwagandha's most notable benefits are as a physical and mental relaxant. However, research has also shown it has positive effects on strength and muscle size, may increase energy levels, improve concentration and many other health benefits. The primary active substance in Ashwagandha is withanolides. Many of the health benefits are attributed to its high concentration of withanolides. Therefore, Withanolides concentration is the key to selecting a good Ashwagandha product, and each capsule of Bulk Nutrients’ Ashwagandha delivers 15mg of pure withanolides.
