Superfeast Ashwagandha Capsules
Ashwagandha root is the most prized foundational herb in Ayurvedic tradition for nervous system support, stress relief, a balanced mood, and quality sleep.
Additionally, this potent 10:1 Ashwagandha extract has long been used to enhance energy, support memory and cognitive function and support healthy sexual function.
Ashwagandha is a storied rasayana (rejuvenative therapy) that plays a central role in health cultivation at all stages of life. Traditionally, it was given to young people to support healthy development, and to the elderly to promote calm and vitality.
Modern science recognises its naturally occurring constituents known as withanolides. These are responsible for many of the herb's studied benefits, which activate alongside the many compounds found in a traditional root extract.
Ashwagandha‘s Hindi name derives from ashva (horse), honouring both the horse-like strength it delivers to all that consume it, and – humorously – its horse-sweat-like aroma (which is why most SuperFeasters opt for the capsules!).
In the popular consciousness, “Ashwag” is affectionately described as ‘a remote control for the emotions'; its ability to aid nervous system regulation and emotional balance proves a welcome antidote to our frenetic, often destabilising times.

Ingredients |
Non-standardised Ashwagandha root powdered extract 10:1. Non-active ingredients • Phyllostachys nigra (bamboo extract), Ipomoea batatas (organic sweet potato), purified water, hypromellose (vegetable capsules). Excipient: SuperFeast has deliberately never used excipients before, however, it would be impossible to create a capsule product without it. The manufacturing process of encapsulating the powder extracts requires the use of an excipient to allow the flow of the powder into capsules. We spent a significant amount of time searching for an excipient that was natural and decided to use bamboo extract. Capsules are vegetable capsules which are made from purified water and hypromellose (produced from cellulose – a natural fibre). |

Precautions |
If pregnant or breastfeeding please consult with your healthcare provider before adding these herbs to your diet. Ashwagandha can interfere with digoxin medications – use only with supervision. Will increase effects of anxiety medications and sedatives (phenobarbitone, barbituates, benzodiazepam), so use with caution and in small doses. Contradictory information about its role in pregnancy exists – while some studies and traditional usage support use of ashwagandha in pregnancy for healthy babies, other traditional usage supports the use of ashwagandha to induce abortion. For safety's sake, do not use when pregnant. |
