Ashwagandha
A traditional botanical selected to support calm, stress resilience, and a consistent evening routine.
Common form: Ashwagandha Root Extract (Withania somnifera)
What it is
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an evergreen shrub with a long history of use in Ayurvedic traditions. Supplements commonly use root or root-and-leaf extracts containing naturally occurring compounds called withanolides.
Why we use it
Yvora includes ashwagandha in the Night Formula to complement magnesium glycinate, L-theanine, GABA, and calming botanicals in a melatonin-free wind-down routine.
Key benefits
Supports a calm evening routine
Supports the body's response to everyday stress
Complements relaxation-focused minerals and amino acids
Fits a melatonin-free nighttime formula
Why it matters
A nighttime routine works best when it creates a consistent transition away from the demands of the day. Ashwagandha adds a familiar botanical layer focused on calm and stress resilience rather than sedation.
Sourcing note
Ashwagandha grows in parts of India, Africa, and the Middle East. We look for clear identification of the plant part, extract standardization, identity testing, and contaminant controls.
Quality note
Because ashwagandha extracts can vary by plant part and withanolide concentration, supplier documentation should clearly identify the botanical material and standardized composition.
