Reading guide

How to read this shelf

All products here are ashwagandha extracts. Labels differ in extract name (KSM-66, Shoden, Sensoril, unbranded), plant part (root, root and leaf) and withanolide percentage. The catalog stores the extract milligrams the label gives.

Check on every label

  • The extract name and plant part on the label. Extracts are not interchangeable milligram for milligram.
  • The withanolide percentage, if stated.
  • Whether the label gives per-capsule or per-day amounts.
