When should you take these ashwagandha root capsules?
Santarome Ashwagandha+ 3000 is a dietary supplement in capsule form made from dry ashwagandha root extract (Withania somnifera), combined with marine magnesium oxide. Two capsules provide 300 mg of extract standardized for withanolides. This formula joins our line of herbal dietary supplements, specifically those containing standardized root extracts.
A plant of the Solanaceae family, sometimes called Indian ginseng, ashwagandha is used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, particularly in India, where its dried root is primarily used. Its name comes from Sanskrit: “ashwa” means horse, and “gandha” means scent, referring to the fragrance of the fresh root.
Ashwagandha root helps maintain physical and mental performance. This supplement uses only the root—the part of the plant described in pharmacopoeias—without leaves or stems.
The formula is intended for adults who wish to support themselves during periods of high stress—whether professional, athletic, or personal—such as returning to work after vacation, a busy season at work, or preparing for an exam or competition. It is intended as a time-limited course of treatment, to be taken alongside a lifestyle that allows for rest.
Physical and mental energy are also replenished during rest, the quality of which depends greatly on the environment. For this purpose, we recommend the Quies blackout mask, which creates complete darkness even in a lit room—whether at home, while traveling, or during a nap. This simple step enhances the rest environment without adding any active ingredients that would interact with the herbal supplement.

Our Expert Advice on Santarome Ashwagandha+ 3000
Before taking the first capsule, we go over the list of precautions with the person rather than discussing dosage. Ashwagandha is one of the herbs in this category with the most situations to avoid. Several of these precautions apply to very common situations: thyroid treatment or sleep medication. Planning a pregnancy is also a factor, as the product is suspected of affecting fertility; in this case, it’s best to avoid taking it right away.
A common misconception is that a traditional herbal remedy can be taken without limit. It’s better to take it for a limited period, followed by a break, than to take it continuously. A herbal remedy also cannot resolve persistent exhaustion: if it lasts more than a few weeks, you should see a doctor.
FAQ
What does the 3,000 mg in Santarome Ashwagandha+ 3000 refer to?
The 3,000 mg refers to the dry root equivalent, not the amount of extract. The dry extract in Santarome Ashwagandha+ 3000 is concentrated: it takes about ten times its weight in root to produce it, hence this figure. The actual amount ingested is that of the extract, which is ten times less.
How many withanolides are in my Santarome Ashwagandha+ 3000?
Withanolides are the characteristic compounds of the ashwagandha root, belonging to the family of steroidal lactones. The Santarome Ashwagandha+ 3000 extract is standardized: its content, which is known and consistent from batch to batch, corresponds to approximately 1.5% of the extract, or just over 2 mg per capsule.
Is Santarome Ashwagandha+ 3000 suitable for me if I am vegan or gluten-intolerant?
Yes. Santarome Ashwagandha+ 3000 is certified vegan and gluten-free: the capsule shells are plant-based; the formula contains no gelatin, milk, eggs, or grains.
