Ashwagandha Dosage

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) analysis allows for the quantification of withanolides, the active molecules responsible for the plant's adaptogenic, anti-stress, and immunomodulatory effects. This analysis is essential to guarantee the quality, authenticity, and conformity of raw materials and finished products used in nutraceuticals, functional foods, and animal nutrition.

Dosage principle

The analysis relies on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-DAD) or liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
These methods allow for precise quantification of total withanolides, identification of specific markers (withaferin A, withanolide A, withanone), and detection of potential adulteration. They offer excellent sensitivity, even in complex matrices rich in plant compounds.

Industrial applications

Withanolide dosage is used in many sectors:
• Nutraceuticals (standardized extracts, food supplements)
• Functional foods (beverages, plant powders, superfoods)
• Animal nutrition (plant premixes, nutritional additives)
• Medicinal plants and Ayurvedic preparations

It allows for the validation of adaptogenic claims, ensures the stability of formulations and secures the origin of raw materials.

Analyzed matrices

• Ashwagandha root powders
• Standardized dry extracts
• Formulated capsules, tablets, and supplements
• Traditional Ayurvedic preparations
• Animal feed mixes or plant premixes

Further analyses recommended

For complete characterization and optimal quality, the following analyses can be combined:
• Total polyphenol analysis
• Flavonoid analysis
• Pesticide analysis by LC-MS/MS
• Heavy metal analysis (Pb, Cd, Hg, As) by ICP-MS
