Ashwagandha 300 mg - 60 Capsules
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the most emblematic plants of the Indian Ayurvedic tradition, where its root has been used for millennia. Its Sanskrit name literally means smell of horse, in reference to the odour of its fresh root. Miel Impérial offers it as 60 capsules dosed at 300 mg, a practical form that avoids the bitter, earthy taste of the powder.

What is ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha is a shrub of the nightshade family, the same as tomato, potato or aubergine. It grows in the dry regions of India, the Middle East and North Africa. It is its thick, fleshy root that is harvested, dried and ground into powder.
Its name comes from Sanskrit: ashva, horse, and gandha, smell. The fresh root indeed gives off a strong, animal, very recognisable odour that largely disappears on drying. Its botanical name, Withania somnifera, refers to the Latin somnus, sleep.
A plant of Ayurveda
Ashwagandha is one of the major plants of Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine, whose founding texts date back several millennia. It is classed there among the rasayana, a category of preparations that holds a central place in that tradition.
In the West it is sometimes nicknamed Indian ginseng. This trade name should not mislead: ashwagandha and ginseng belong to two unrelated botanical families and share only the place each holds in its tradition of origin.
Why the capsule format?
Taste, bypassed
Ashwagandha root powder has a bitter, earthy taste and a marked odour, hard to blend into food. The capsule settles the question: no contact with the palate.
Precise dosing
Every capsule contains 300 mg of powder. No measuring spoon, no variation from one intake to the next.
Easy to carry
A bottle of 60 capsules in a bag and intake happens anywhere, with no preparation.
A plant to be respected
Ashwagandha is not harmless. The capsule makes it possible to stick strictly to the stated dose, which is essential with this plant.
Directions for use
Swallow the capsules with a large glass of water, preferably with a meal. Follow the daily dose stated on the bottle label and do not exceed it. Ashwagandha is used in time-limited courses; refer to the label's instructions and seek your doctor's or pharmacist's advice before starting. A food supplement is no substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
The other emblematic root
Ashwagandha is nicknamed Indian ginseng, with no botanical link to it. To discover true ginseng, find our ginseng oil capsules.
Precautions and contraindications
• Contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Not recommended for children and adolescents.

• Autoimmune disease or immunosuppressive treatment: use not recommended without medical advice.

• If you have a known allergy to nightshades (tomato, potato, aubergine), do not consume.
• Do not exceed the stated daily dose. This product is a food supplement; it replaces neither a varied, balanced diet, nor medical treatment, nor the advice of a healthcare professional.
