Pure Encapsulations Ashwagandha Xtra is a food supplement in vegetarian capsule form. Each capsule combines standardised extracts of four plants: ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus, also known as Siberian ginseng) and rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea). Each pack contains 60 capsules, taken at a rate of one capsule a day.

Key Features

• Four standardised plant extracts in one capsule: each capsule provides ashwagandha, Asian ginseng, eleuthero and rhodiola root extracts, each standardised to a stated level of its characteristic compounds (withanolides, ginsenosides, eleutherosides and rosavins/salidroside respectively). Standardisation means the level of these marker compounds is fixed and stated on the label, rather than varying as it can in an unstandardised raw herbal extract.
• Simple once-daily dose: one capsule a day fits easily into an existing routine, without a complicated timing schedule or multiple daily doses.
• Formulated without common unnecessary additives: made without magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, carrageenan, coatings or shellacs, artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners, or unnecessary binders, fillers and preservatives, and free from wheat, gluten, egg, peanuts, trans fats, hydrogenated oils and GMOs, which matters if you prefer to avoid these in a supplement.
• 60-capsule pack size: at the stated dose of one capsule a day, a single pack provides around two months' supply, useful when planning repeat orders.

Why is Ashwagandha Xtra a blend of four different plant extracts, not just ashwagandha?

Despite the name, Ashwagandha Xtra is not a single-ingredient ashwagandha product. Each capsule combines ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root extract with three further standardised plant extracts: Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus, also known as Siberian ginseng) and rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea). Check the Ingredients section on this page to confirm exactly what each capsule contains before buying.

What does "standardised extract" mean on the label?

A standardised extract is processed to guarantee a fixed, stated level of specific compounds naturally found in the plant. In this product, the ashwagandha extract is standardised to 2.5% withanolides, the Asian ginseng extract to 5% total ginsenosides, the eleuthero extract to 0.8% eleutherosides, and the rhodiola extract to 3% total rosavins with a minimum of 1% salidroside. This means the level of these compounds is consistent from capsule to capsule and batch to batch, unlike an unstandardised raw herb powder, where levels can vary considerably.

Can I take Ashwagandha Xtra if I'm pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication?

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have any health condition, or are taking any medication, speak to a healthcare professional before taking Ashwagandha Xtra.

Is Ashwagandha Xtra suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. The capsule shell is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose rather than gelatin, and the plant extracts and plant fibre filler are not animal-derived, so the product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
