What it is
Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub native to India and North Africa. The extract is typically made from the root or leaves of the plant. It is often dried, powdered, and then extracted using solvents like alcohol or water.
Why it's used
Ashwagandha extract is commonly added to beverages and supplements. It is used for its adaptogenic properties, which are thought to help the body manage stress. It is most frequently found in teas, energy drinks, and protein powders.
Health notes
Ashwagandha is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in dietary supplements. Some studies suggest it may help reduce stress and anxiety, and improve sleep quality. However, research is ongoing, and evidence is mixed on its effectiveness for other health claims. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated ashwagandha extract for food additive purposes.
Allergen info
Ashwagandha is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
