Bulk Ashwagandha Root Powder from India

Ashwagandha for
Supplement & Wellness Brands

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of India's most traded medicinal herbs — grown primarily in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Andhra Pradesh. We source ashwagandha root powder from established processors in these regions, supplying supplement brands, nutraceutical manufacturers, and functional food producers.

We supply bulk root powder — the dried, ground root in its commodity form, suitable for encapsulation, tablet blending, drink mixes, and private-label formulations. Enquire with your specification (mesh size, quality standard, intended market regulation) and we will confirm what we can source and provide a sample for your own testing.

Note on branded extracts: Branded ashwagandha extracts (KSM-66, Sensoril, and similar) are proprietary licensed products from specific manufacturers. We supply standard bulk root powder — not branded extracts. If your formulation requires a specific extract brand, please source it directly from the extract manufacturer.

Common Questions from Buyers

What form of ashwagandha do you supply?
We supply ashwagandha root powder — the dried, ground root of Withania somnifera. This is the standard bulk commodity form used in supplement encapsulation, tablet blending, drink mixes, and private-label formulations. We do not supply branded extracts (KSM-66, Sensoril, etc.) — those are proprietary licensed products.
Can I specify withanolide content?
You can enquire with a target withanolide range and we will confirm what we can source and verify. Standard root powder typically tests between 1–3% total withanolides (by HPLC), but this varies by growing region, season, and processing. We do not quote withanolide levels without a supporting third-party CoA from the actual lot.
Can we get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes. We dispatch a pre-shipment sample before any bulk commitment — the sample cost is charged but credited toward your order if you place one. Samples come with a third-party lab CoA so you have independently verified quality data before committing.
What regulatory standards can you meet for ashwagandha?
That depends on your market and specification. For US supplement buyers, relevant standards include USP and AHPA guidelines. For EU buyers, confirm whether ashwagandha has approved novel food status in your specific application. Tell us your target market and regulatory requirement at enquiry — we will confirm what CoA parameters we can support.
Does your APEDA registration cover ashwagandha?
Yes — our APEDA RCMC (Reg. RCMC/APEDA/31367/2026-2027) covers psyllium husk, ashwagandha, and chia seeds under the Herbal and Medicinal Plants panel. See our Certifications page for the full registration document.
What is the HSN code for ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha root powder is commonly classified under HSN 12119099 in Indian export documentation. However, HSN classification is a customs determination — confirm the correct code with your customs broker or CHA before using it in any shipping document. This code is displayed here for reference only.
