Soil Association certified, free from additives of any kind, and packed in-house in Leicestershire by our small family team. A versatile powder for stirring into drinks, smoothies, or warm milk — used in Ayurvedic tradition for centuries, and increasingly part of modern daily routines. Available in five sizes from 50g to 800g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout ashwagandha root\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWithania somnifera\u003c\/em\u003e — commonly known as ashwagandha, and sometimes called Winter Cherry or Indian Ginseng — is a small woody plant native to the drier regions of India. Its roots, dried and ground into a fine yellow-brown powder, have been a staple of Ayurvedic practice for thousands of years, making it one of the most widely used botanicals in Indian herbal tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe powder has a mild, slightly bitter flavour with a characteristic earthy, faintly nutty aroma. It mixes readily into warm drinks and smoothies, and blends particularly well with milk — dairy or plant-based — as well as coffee, oat drinks, and nut butter bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur ashwagandha is whole root powder: dried root, ground fine, with no concentration, no extraction, and no standardisation of active compounds. This is the form used in traditional Ayurvedic practice — unmodified, single ingredient, exactly as it comes from the root. Most commercial ashwagandha supplements use a standardised extract with a defined withanolide percentage. Ours is not that. It is the whole root in its most straightforward form, for those who prefer a less-processed, traditional approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich size is right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe suggested daily serving is 2–5g.

Our powder is Soil Association certified organic, grown without synthetic pesticides, and contains no fillers or additives. As with any supplement, we recommend consulting your GP before use — particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have an existing health condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between whole root powder and an extract?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost commercial ashwagandha supplements use a concentrated extract standardised to a defined percentage of naturally occurring compounds called withanolides. Our product is whole root powder — dried root, ground fine, with no concentration or extraction. This is the traditional form. It is not equivalent to a standardised extract on a milligram-for-milligram basis. For those who want a less-processed, whole-food approach in the Ayurvedic tradition, whole root powder is the more authentic choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much should I use per serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suggested serving is 2–5g per day — approximately ½ to 1 heaped teaspoon. Starting at the lower end and adjusting from there makes sense. Do not exceed 5g per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does ashwagandha powder taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMild and slightly bitter, with an earthy, faintly nutty character. It works best added to something with its own strong flavour — coffee, warm spiced milk, or a cacao-based smoothie — rather than plain water, where the bitterness is more noticeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add ashwagandha powder to coffee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — adding ashwagandha to coffee has become increasingly popular. The earthy notes complement roasted coffee well. Start with ¼–½ teaspoon per cup and adjust to taste. It mixes easily into both black coffee and milk-based drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this product organic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Soil Association certified organic.
