What is Ashwagandha? Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub in the Solanaceae family that grows in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. Indian-grown Ashwagandha is very well known for its high Withanolides content. Withanolides are the active component of Ashwagandha and are responsible for its medicinal properties. What is Ashwa X2? It is a doctor formulated herbal blend of ashwagandha with black pepper. The addition of black pepper helps increase the bioavailability of ashwagandha. Why Should You Prefer Ashwa X2? MD Formulated. USDA Organic Certified. Increased bioavailability of Ashwagandha with added Black pepper. No Extracts. Whole herbs in their raw, unprocessed, natural powdered form. No fillers. We only use the organically harvested Indian Ashwagandha known for its high withanolide content. Each serving delivers an optimum high dose of 1500mg of Ashwagandha with Black pepper. Use organic gum acacia (natural glue) to make the tablets. Our Unique Way Of Making Ashwa X2 Tablets With Gum Acacia: Gum acacia is a soluble dietary fiber from the branches of the acacia tree. It is a natural glue edible. We use it as a binding agent to make tablets by mixing Ashwagandha, Black pepper, and distilled water. Why Don't We Use Herbal Extracts? Extracts are chemically-processed and are not well tolerated by some individuals. We believe in providing herbs in their natural powdered form, the way nature designed them for human consumption. Our unique procedure for obtaining the Organic Ashwagandha: The stem of the Ashwagandha plant is cut 1–2 cm above the ground to separate the roots from the aerial portion. The ashwagandha roots are then cut into 7–10 cm small pieces and dried in the sun until the moisture content is 0 %. We only use premium-grade ashwagandha root powder. The ashwagandha root textural quality is determined by a high starch–fiber ratio. Where Is Our Ashwa X2 Made? Our Ashwagandha and Black Pepper herbal blend is produced in an FDA-registered facility in India following cGMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) rules and is rigorously tested for identity, strength, safety, and quality. We only use the Ashwagandha and Black Pepper harvested from our Indian farms to ensure the highest quality standards.
