Standardised Ayurvedic extracts with potency percentages declared on every label.
Ayurvedic actives have decades of trial data when the extract is standardised to a known active-compound percentage. EX1's Ayurvedic catalog ships only standardised forms with per-batch HPLC verification, not whole-herb commodity preparations.
Why this category matters
An Ayurvedic standardised extract is a herbal preparation processed to guarantee a stated percentage of active phytochemicals (such as withanolides in ashwagandha) in every batch.
Unstandardised whole-herb powders vary in active-compound content from batch to batch and supplier to supplier. Standardisation removes that variance so the dose on the label matches the dose in the bottle, every time.
A randomised controlled trial published in Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine evaluated ashwagandha root extract at 600 mg/day standardised to 5% withanolides in healthy adults under chronic stress, reporting measurable cortisol modulation and stress-resilience markers over 8 weeks.

How to choose an ayurvedic supplement
Look for the standardisation percentage on the label
5% withanolides for ashwagandha, 80% silymarin for milk thistle, and a standardised extract for Berberis aristata. The standardisation is the chemistry; the patent name is marketing.
Verify root-only vs whole-herb
For ashwagandha specifically, the FSSAI 2025 advisory limits formulations to the root extract. Whole-herb formulations carry leaf alkaloid load that is best avoided.
Ask for the per-batch certificate of analysis
Standardisation only means something if every batch is tested. EX1 ships a COA per batch on request via care@ex1nutrition.com.
Match the studied dose, not a marketing dose
Ashwagandha studies anchor to 600 mg/day. Lower doses may be safe but have less trial support.
