Description
Products Description
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), also known as Indian ginseng or winter cherry, is a foundational herb in Ayurvedic medicine, classified as an adaptogen and traditionally used to support the body's resilience to physical and mental stress. Its functional activity is attributed to withanolides, a class of steroidal lactones, with root-only extracts generally favored for lower levels of withaferin A - a cytotoxic withanolide present at higher concentrations in leaf material - making source selection (root-only vs. root+leaf) a meaningful quality consideration for formulators.
Sheerherb's Ashwagandha Extract Powder is available as a root-only extract or a root+leaf extract depending on your target withanolide concentration, with HPLC-verified withanolide content confirmed on every batch. This is a generic ashwagandha raw material, not affiliated with any patented branded ingredient. We supply supplement manufacturers, functional beverage producers, and contract manufacturers sourcing ashwagandha raw material for stress-support, sleep, and performance-focused formulations.

Product Benefits
Ashwagandha Extract Powder is valued mainly for its withanolide content, which underpins most of its functional positioning:
1. Adaptogenic Stress Support Formulations
As one of the most established adaptogens, ashwagandha is a foundational ingredient in stress-support and cortisol-balance-positioned formulas.
2. Sleep Quality Positioning
Root+leaf extracts in particular are frequently positioned around relaxation and sleep-support claims, given their broader withanolide and oligosaccharide profile.
3. Energy & Physical Performance Category
Root-only extracts are commonly positioned around energy, exercise performance, and physical resilience, backed by a substantial body of published research.
4. Cognitive & General Wellness Applications
Its adaptogenic profile supports inclusion in broader cognitive-focus and daily wellness formulations.
Products Application
Adaptogenic & Stress-Support Supplements
Standardized HPLC-verified withanolide content supports capsule and tablet formulations targeting stress-resilience and cortisol-balance claims.
Sleep Support Formulas
Root+leaf extracts with higher withanolide concentration support inclusion in evening and sleep-focused capsule and gummy formats.
Functional Beverages
Water-soluble, low-particle-size grades support inclusion in adaptogenic beverages and functional drink mixes.
FAQ
Q: What specifications and source types do you offer for bulk orders?
A: 1.5%, 2.5%, 5%, or 8% withanolides by HPLC, available as root-only or root+leaf extract. Specs can be adjusted to your formulation target, with COA, MSDS, and microbiological reports provided per batch.
Q: What is your MOQ for wholesale orders?
A: MOQ typically starts from 1kg for trial quantities, up to 25kg drums for commercial orders. Flexible terms available for long-term partnerships.
Q: What's the difference between root-only and root+leaf extract?
A: Root-only extracts generally contain lower levels of withaferin A (a cytotoxic withanolide more concentrated in leaf material) and are more aligned with traditional internal-use practice. Root+leaf extracts achieve higher total withanolide concentrations but include a broader compound profile. We can advise on which fits your formulation and positioning goals.
Q: How do you ensure quality and stability during shipping?
A: Controlled extraction and standardization, packed in moisture-resistant, food-grade packaging. Recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Q: Do you support OEM/private label projects?
A: Yes - including custom blends with rhodiola or magnesium glycinate for stress-support and sleep formulas. Our team can advise on source selection and compatibility for qualifying volumes.
