Withania is traditionally known as Ashwagandha and has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine as a Rasayana or rejuvenative tonic.

Despite the alternative name Indian Ginseng, Withania is not a true ginseng and does not belong to the Panax genus.

Withanolides are naturally occurring steroidal lactones used as markers of extract strength and consistency.

A higher withanolide concentration is not automatically more suitable, and research involving proprietary root, leaf or root-and-leaf extracts should not automatically be transferred to this 2:1 root liquid.

Withania (Withania somnifera) root 2:1 liquid extract.

Each 1 mL represents approximately 2 g of dried Withania root.

Standardised to contain at least 4 mg/mL of withanolides.

Contains ethanol 45% v/v.

Adults: Take 10–30 mL per week, or as directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner.

This is a weekly dosage range and must not be interpreted as 10–30 mL per day.

Follow the current Australian product label or the amount selected by your healthcare practitioner.

Shake well before use.

Measure the prescribed amount carefully.

Dilute the measured amount in a small quantity of water immediately before taking.

Take only according to the current product label or your healthcare practitioner’s directions.

Do not take the undiluted 45% ethanol preparation directly from the bottle.

Do not exceed the recommended or professionally prescribed amount.

Timing depends on the intended use and individual response. Some people take Withania earlier in the day for resilience support, while others are directed to use it later as part of a relaxation routine.

Withania may cause drowsiness in some people. Do not drive, operate machinery or undertake hazardous activities until you know how it affects you.

Avoid combining it casually with alcohol, sleeping products or multiple calming supplements.

Do not increase the dosage because stress, fatigue, sleep or concentration concerns remain present.

Stop taking the product and seek medical advice if sudden severe vomiting, diarrhoea or symptoms associated with possible liver injury develop.

Withania products may cause sudden and potentially severe gastrointestinal reactions in some people.

Severe nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea has occasionally occurred after only one or two doses and has sometimes required hospital treatment.

Stop taking the product and seek medical assessment if sudden vomiting, severe diarrhoea, marked abdominal pain or another significant digestive reaction develops.

Medicines and supplements containing Withania have been associated with a very rare risk of liver injury.

Avoid Withania if you currently have or have previously had liver problems unless its use has been specifically assessed and approved by the healthcare professional managing your condition.

Stop use and seek immediate medical advice if yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, nausea, vomiting, unusual tiredness, weakness, abdominal pain or loss of appetite develops.

Professional guidance is particularly important with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel disease or another immune-mediated condition.

Do not use without specialist approval if you take immunosuppressive or antirejection medication.

Withania may cause drowsiness and may increase the effects of sedating substances.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining it with sleeping tablets, benzodiazepines, sedating antihistamines, opioid pain medicines, anticonvulsants or other medicines that reduce alertness.

Avoid or limit alcohol and use caution when combining Withania with Valerian, Passionflower, Kava, Lemon Balm or multi-ingredient sleep formulas.

Withania should not be described as a treatment for anxiety disorders, depression, panic attacks, chronic insomnia or another mental-health condition.

Persistent anxiety, major changes in mood, loss of interest, severe agitation or symptoms affecting work, study, relationships or daily life require professional support.

Thoughts of self-harm or suicide require immediate assistance from an emergency or crisis service.

Do not describe Withania as increasing testosterone, treating erectile dysfunction or improving fertility.

Limited research has examined particular Ashwagandha extracts for testosterone and sperm parameters, but the evidence should not be applied broadly to every product.

People with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer should avoid Withania unless its use has been specifically approved by the treating specialist.

Persistent fatigue should not automatically be attributed to stress.

Ongoing tiredness may be associated with inadequate sleep, nutrient deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, infection, medication effects, sleep apnoea, depression, heart or lung disease or another health concern.
