I've decided to try and do some Maths (notoriously bad at it) and work out how many mg of active ingredients are in each of our products then compare .
The main ingredient seems to be Withanolides. Solgar version I have has >
Standardized Ashwagandha Extract
(root) (withanolides 5 mg [1.5%])
300 mg*
Raw Ashwagandha Powder (root)
100 mg*I make that 4.5mg of withanolides in the standardised 300mg and an unknown amount in the 100mg raw root.
The jarrow formulas has 225mg of 8% withanolides so that's 18mg
the paradise herbs according to iherb is >
Ashwagandha root extract 16:1
(Equivalent to 4,000 mg whole root)
250 mg
1.5% Withanolides
3 mg
So to summarise Solgar has 4.5mg + an unknown amount in the raw herb Im guessing it wont be much maybe 1mg, Jarrow Formulas has 18mg and paradise herbs has 3mg.
It would be interesting to note how many mg you think you are taking Verne, this may establish an effective dosage for the rest of us if we know how much you are taking. Thanks :)
