A plant as old as Ayurveda itself …
Ashwagandha is rooted in traditional Indian culture and Ayurveda, also known as winter cherry or Indian ginseng.
Its Latin name is withania somnifera, where the word withania refers to the genus of plants it belongs to, and somnifera is derived from the word "somnifer," which in Latin means "that which induces sleep."
We can say that it is a plant that has stood the test of time, as it has been used for centuries, and its popularity has only been rising steeply worldwide in recent years.
Popular for a reason …
Ashwagandha is attributed with the following properties:
• Ashwagandha has adaptogenic properties.
• Supports during periods of mental and nervous tension and anxiety.
• Contributes to relaxation and mental and physical well-being.
• Contributes to emotional balance and overall well-being.
In Ayurveda, it is known to be used in the form of a tonic, and today it can be found in various forms – from powder to capsules, which are one of the most convenient forms of consumption.
It matters which part of the plant we use …
Due to all the exceptional properties of this ancient plant, ashwagandha is also available at Malinca. But not just any ashwagandha. Although it is very easy to get ashwagandha from the leaves of the plant on the market, we decided to pack root extract into the capsules.
This means that we took the best part of the plant, and the extract can be compared to extracting only the best from the plant – without ballast.
Like squeezing an orange to get the sweetest juice, without fibers and impurities, or like drinking an espresso instead of regular coffee for a stronger effect.
Withanolides – the superhero of ashwagandha
The compound for which ashwagandha is particularly famous is a phytonutrient called withanolides. We could say that it is the heart of ashwagandha, and Malinca's capsules contain as much as 5% withanolides, which impresses all connoisseurs of this precious plant.
Ashwagandha extract with 5% withanolides is therefore a natural-based dietary supplement that can be an excellent support during periods of mental and nervous tension and anxiety.
A special addition for even greater quality …
Black pepper has always been the king of spices, added both in cuisine and Ayurveda, from which ashwagandha originates, to enhance the effects of food and substances in food.
Pepper contains the substance piperine, so we added the patented BioPerine® extract to the capsules, which represents a 95% black pepper extract with piperine.
BioPerine® gives Malinca's ashwagandha added value and will delight all those who want to get the most out of taking a dietary supplement.
