Dhatu Organics Organic Ashwagandha Root Powder is made from the root of Withania somnifera — an Ayurvedic adaptogen with more than 3,000 years of documented medicinal use. Our Ashwagandha is sourced from certified organic farms in Rajasthan, slow-dried to preserve withanolide content, and fine-milled for clean dissolution in milk or water. No fillers. No extracts.

The Adaptogen Standard: Ashwagandha is one of the most extensively researched herbs in modern pharmacology. Over 400 published studies document its effects on cortisol, testosterone, thyroid function, sleep quality, and physical endurance — making it one of the few traditional herbs validated by clinical evidence at multiple levels.

Key Benefits
- Cortisol and Stress Reduction: A double-blind RCT showed 300 mg ashwagandha root extract twice daily reduced serum cortisol by 27.9% and significantly improved stress scores over 60 days.[1]
- Sleep Quality: Ashwagandha (specifically triethylene glycol) has been clinically shown to improve sleep onset, duration, and quality — particularly in adults with insomnia.[2]
- Physical Endurance and Muscle Strength: Resistance-trained adults supplementing with ashwagandha showed significant improvements in muscle recovery, VO₂ max, and strength compared to placebo in 8-week trials.[3]
- Male Reproductive Wellness: Ashwagandha root powder (5g/day for 90 days) improved testosterone levels and semen quality markers in male subjects.[4]
- Thyroid Support: In sub-clinical hypothyroid patients, ashwagandha significantly improved T3 and T4 levels compared to placebo after 8 weeks.[5]
- Cognitive Function and Memory: Ashwagandha extract improved immediate memory, executive function, and processing speed in a 90-day RCT with healthy adults.[6]
- Anti-Inflammatory: Withanolides inhibit NF-κB and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ashwagandha make you sleepy?
Not exactly. Ashwagandha is not a sedative — it is an adaptogen that reduces over-activation of the nervous system. It promotes calm alertness during the day and better sleep at night. Most people do not feel drowsy during daytime use; taking it before bed is recommended if your primary goal is sleep quality.
How long does it take to work?
Sleep improvements are often noticed within 1–2 weeks. Stress reduction and energy are typically felt within 3–4 weeks. Hormonal and strength-related benefits require 8–12 weeks of consistent supplementation according to RCT data.
Is ashwagandha safe for women?
Yes. Ashwagandha is well-studied in both men and women. It supports cortisol regulation, thyroid function, and cognitive wellness in women equally well. Pregnant women should avoid ashwagandha as it has traditionally been contraindicated in pregnancy. Consult your doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can I take Ashwagandha with other supplements?
Ashwagandha pairs particularly well with Shatavari (for hormonal balance in women), Brahmi (for cognitive function), and Shilajit (for energy). Avoid combining with sedative medications without medical guidance.
Why does Ashwagandha have a bitter/earthy taste?
“Ashwagandha” translates to “smell of horse” in Sanskrit — the earthy, slightly bitter flavour comes from its withanolide and alkaloid content, which are the very compounds responsible for its therapeutic effects. Mixing with warm sweetened milk, or blending into a smoothie with banana and dates, effectively masks the flavour.
