The Korean Ginseng component of this tablet is standardized to contain 1.68 mg per tablet of ginsenosides (calculated as Rb2 to Rb1 is NLT 0.4 by HPLC) to ensure optimal strength and quality.

Ashwagandha Quality Story

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an Indian (Ayurvedic) herb which contains a group of clinically important steroidal compounds referred to collectively as withanolides. Ashwagandha contains more than fifty withanolides which vary greatly depending upon the geographic location and plant part. The withanolide profile and content is a key determinant of Ashwagandha quality and efficacy. Liquid Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) is the method of choice for characterizing such a wide range of similar compounds and unequivocably identifying key major components such as withaferin A and withanolide A. This technique is used routinely in the MediHerb Quality Control Laboratories to identify and analyze Ashwagandha and other saponin-containing herbs.
