About Plant

Plant ID PLN0028
Plant Name Withania somnifera
Common Name Ashwagandha, Indian ginseng
Vernacular Name Ashwagandha
Plant Description The main phytochemical constituents of W. somnifera are withanolides, a group of triterpene lactones that include withaferin A, alkaloids, steroidal lactones, tropine, and cuscohygrine. Forty withanolides, twelve alkaloids, and various sitoindosides have been isolated from this plant species. As these withanolides are structurally similar to the ginsenosides of Panax ginseng, W. somnifera is commonly referred to as "Indian ginseng".
