Ashwagandha capsules & powder

Ashwagandha – the plant, whose traditional use originated in India, is now available worldwide in the form of dietary supplements.

Capsules, tablets, powders or drops: what are the dosage forms?

Ashwagandha is available on the market in a variety of forms. However, the natural product is most commonly found in the form of capsules, tablets, powders or drops.

Which dosage form is best?

The great advantage of capsules is that they can be precisely dosed, have a long shelf life, are neutral in taste and are easy to transport. Although tablets also have these advantages, when it comes to additives, capsules are the clear winners. After all, unnecessary additives can usually be avoided when manufacturing capsules – especially in semi-automatic production.

Less commonly found on the market are ashwagandha supplements in powder or drop form. These variants are particularly suitable for people who have difficulty swallowing. However, anyone who prefers an ashwagandha product in powder or drop form should definitely take a critical look at the list of ingredients. After all, there are more and less recommendable products among them. In addition, when it comes to powder preparations, portion-packed products should be chosen for reasons of dosage, hygiene and transportability.
