They help me to feel calm, balanced and grounded- it’s become a little daily reset that makes me feel happy

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body respond to occasional stress and restore balance. Its effects are most beneficial when taken as needed, such as to invite calm during a rushed morning before work, or before bed to calm a racing mind. Tune in, listen to your body and respond with a daily ritual of True Ashwagandha.*
Our organic True Ashwagandha is sustainably sourced from Rajasthan, India, where fertile soil fosters premium quality. It is handpicked with care direct from the root, offering maximum active compounds. We prioritize sustainable practices and eco-friendly packaging, reflecting our commitment to nature.
Ashwagandha helps reduce occasional stress by modulating the HPA axis – the delicate interaction between the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands – which regulates the body’s response to stress. Its adaptogenic properties support a balanced response, promoting feelings of calm and resilience against both internal and external stressors.*
Echinacea, Ginseng, Valerian, Ashwagandha… Herbs such as these are traditionally used to restore the body’s natural balance and can be traced back over 5,000 years, when ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese used them for healing, nourishment and rituals. Their legacy shapes modern herbalism, influencing products like our True Ashwagandha.
Ashwagandha contains an impressive number of beneficial phytochemicals, including Withanolides, Alkaloids, Saponins, Steroidal Lactones, and Choline. Together, these compounds offer adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory* and immune-supporting effects, promoting occasional stress relief. Withanolides, the primary active compounds, are especially known for their potent anti-stress and immune-strengthening properties.*
You can take True Ashwagandha at any time of day. If you're looking to support energy and manage daily stress, the morning may be best for you However, taking True Ashwagandha as part of your nighttime ritual can help support a sense of calm and balance before bed. You can also split the dose between morning and evening.
It is completely fine to remove the product from the capsule if you have difficulty swallowing and would like to add it to a warm drink. We would encourage you to consume the capsule where possible to optimize absorbability.
Ashwagandha is generally well-tolerated, but every body is different. Herbs can affect individuals in unique ways, so if you're new to Ashwagandha, we recommend starting with one capsule and gradually building up to the full two-capsule dose to see how your body responds. If you have a medical condition - particularly thyroid or autoimmune-related - or are preparing for surgery, it's best to consult your healthcare practitioner before use.
If you’re taking any medications, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before introducing a new supplement. Ashwagandha may not be suitable for everyone and could interact with certain medications.
We do not recommend Ashwagandha during pregnancy. While it may be suitable and supportive for some during the postpartum period, the safety of Ashwagandha during breastfeeding has not been well established. Please consult your healthcare provider before use.
Traditionally used over long periods, Ashwagandha is known for supporting resilience and balance. Consistent, daily use can help you experience its full spectrum of benefits. Some people choose to take periodic breaks - such as 1 week off every 3 months - to support your body’s response.
