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 from established processors in these regions, supplying supplement brands, nutraceutical manufacturers, and functional food producers.
Our primary form is whole dried root — the intact dried root sections of Withania somnifera, as photographed. Root powder (ground from the dried root) is available on request. Enquire with your specification (form, mesh size if powder, 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.
