However, there&#039;s something that&#039;s practically never mentioned in marketing: since 2019, there has been a growing number of case reports of liver damage associated with ashwagandha preparations. Denmark and Iceland have banned its sale. We&#039;re presenting both perspectives side-by-side because both are necessary to make an informed decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<div>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"herkunft\">\n<h2><span>Origin<\/span>The smell of the horse<\/h2>\n<div class=\"eh-kraeuter-img\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%271800%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201200%201800%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%271800%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/edenshealth.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/eh-kraeuter-ashwagandha.jpg\" alt=\"Nahrungserg\u00e4nzung Pulver und Kapseln\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:14px;border:2px solid rgba(201,162,75,0.4);box-shadow:0 8px 24px rgba(23,58,36,0.15);\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"ea-satz\">\u201eAshwagandha\u201c translates to \u201chorse smell\u201d \u2013 referring to the strong smell of the fresh root.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\"><em>Withania somnifera<\/em> It is a grey-felted shrub, growing up to 1.5 meters tall, belonging to the nightshade family and widespread in India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. It thrives in dry, poor soils and bears inconspicuous greenish flowers and small orange-red berries in a papery husk \u2013 similar to the related physalis. Almost exclusively the root is used.<\/p>\n<p>The Sanskrit name <em>ashvagandha<\/em> consists of <em>ashva<\/em> (horse) and <em>Gandha<\/em> (Odor) together and refers to the strong, horse-sweat-like smell of the fresh root. A second interpretation, more popular in marketing, is that the plant bestows the strength of a horse; linguistically, this doesn&#039;t hold water, but the smell does. The species name <em>somnifera<\/em> It means &quot;sleep-inducing&quot; and refers to its traditional use in treating sleep problems.<\/p>\n<p>In Ayurveda, Ashwagandha is one of the <em>Rasayana<\/em> - the regenerative and invigorating agents - and has been documented there for over two thousand years. Traditionally, the root is ground and taken with warm milk and ghee for exhaustion, weakness, old age, and after illness. The Western boom is recent: only since around 2010 has ashwagandha, under the collective term &quot;adaptogen,&quot; become the best-selling Ayurvedic product outside of India. The name &quot;Indian ginseng,&quot; which is often encountered, is botanically incorrect - ginseng is a member of the ivy family, while ashwagandha is a member of the nightshade family.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"nutzen\">\n<h2><span>To use<\/span>What the studies show \u2013 and what the authorities have done<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\">There is no EMA monograph or Commission E assessment for ashwagandha; in the EU, it is predominantly marketed as a food supplement. However, there are a number of randomized, placebo-controlled studies \u2013 more than for most other plants in this category. These studies primarily investigated stress and anxiety, sleep quality, athletic performance, and testosterone levels in men.<\/p>\n<p>The results tend to be positive: meta-analyses find reductions in stress and anxiety scores and morning cortisol, improvements in sleep parameters, and, in some studies, increases in strength and muscle mass. However, the limitations are significant and are acknowledged by the authors themselves: the studies are small, mostly short, almost exclusively from India, use different extracts, and often exhibit conflicts of interest. The evidence is regularly rated as low to moderate. This is better than for many other plants in this area, but still does not establish proven efficacy.<\/p>\n<p>Now to the other side, which is equally important. Since 2019, cases of liver damage associated with ashwagandha supplements have been described in several countries\u2014a case series from Iceland and the USA, and further individual reports from Europe and India. The damage typically occurred after two to twelve weeks of use, predominantly as cholestatic hepatitis with jaundice and itching, and usually resolved after discontinuation; however, there have also been severe cases. The Danish Food Standards Agency banned the sale of ashwagandha-containing food supplements in 2020, and Iceland followed suit.<\/p>\n<p>No one knows how common this is \u2013 there&#039;s no systematic monitoring of side effects for dietary supplements. It&#039;s probably rare. But it&#039;s real, it&#039;s documented, and it&#039;s practically never mentioned in marketing. Anyone taking ashwagandha should therefore do two things: limit the duration of use, and stop taking it immediately and consult a doctor if they experience yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools, persistent nausea, or itching.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-zahlen\">\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>0,1 - 0,5 %<\/b><span>Withanolides in the root<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>300 - 600 mg<\/b><span>Extract daily in most studies<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>2 - 12 weeks<\/b><span>Time until the occurrence of liver cases<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>2020<\/b><span>Sales ban in Denmark<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"inhalt\">\n<h2><span>Ingredients<\/span>Withanolides - and the question of which extract<\/h2>\n<p>The characteristic constituents are withanolides, a group of steroid lactones found in this form only in nightshade plants. Withaferin A and withanolide A are the best studied. These are the components to which the extract is standardized \u2013 typical values range from two to five percent withanolides. Other constituents include alkaloids such as withanine and somniferin, as well as saponins.<\/p>\n<p>An important point to consider when purchasing: The studies were conducted using very specific, patented extracts, and these differ significantly in their manufacturing process and withanolide profile. Results obtained with one extract cannot simply be extrapolated to any other product. Anyone wishing to benefit from the available research should look for a product that specifies the extract used in the studies and declares its withanolide content \u2013 anything else is a different product.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, only the root is used. Some modern extracts also contain leaf material, which has significantly higher levels of withaferin A \u2013 withaferin A being the most cytotoxic component. Whether this is related to the observed liver reactions is unclear; as a precaution, a pure root extract is the more conservative choice.<\/p>\n<p>To put the question of origin into perspective: Ashwagandha is a nightshade plant, related to tomatoes, potatoes, belladonna, and henbane. This doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s poisonous\u2014tomatoes aren&#039;t either\u2014but it explains why the plant produces pharmacologically active steroids. Incidentally, the berries are traditionally used in India as a vegetable rennet for cheesemaking, not as food.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"kombi\">\n<h2><span>Enhanced combinations<\/span>If so, then like this.<\/h2>\n<p>Anyone wishing to try Ashwagandha should do so under conditions that minimize the known risk.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-kombi\">\n<div class=\"c\"><span class=\"tag\">Time<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mit\">Ashwagandha + limited duration<\/div>\n<p>Two to three months, then a break.
