Ashwagandha is a highly established and revered herb in Ayurveda medicine with roots that have been shown to contain a host of biologically beneficial components. The ashwagandha market is ripe for growth with a 166% ranking increase from 2019 as compared to 2020 among the top 40 herbs in the marketplace1. Additionally ashwagandha holds a 67% growth rate as one of the top five dietary supplements, of which it is the only herb on the list2. Optimizing KSM-66 Ashwagandha with our NutraShield Technology, we have utilized the powder extract as a carrier of the flavor masker during an encapsulation process. This provides additional support and protection when including in a formulation that contains other vitamins and minerals with off notes, and it allows for a higher ashwagandha inclusion rate in products to better meet efficacy dose requirements.
