✅ Food Ingredient Notice: Ashwagandha Root Powder is supplied as a raw food-grade botanical ingredient — not a finished supplement and not a medicine. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. No authorised EU/UK health claims for ashwagandha exist under Regulation 1924/2006.

WHY NO AUTHORISED HEALTH CLAIMS?
No Authorised Claims Doesn't Mean No Research
Ashwagandha has no authorised EU/UK health claims under Regulation 1924/2006. Botanical claims for ashwagandha are on hold pending further regulatory review. This is a legal and regulatory position — not a statement about the depth of the research behind this plant. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has been used in Ayurvedic tradition for over 3,000 years and is one of the most researched adaptogenic botanicals in the world, with over 200 published studies including multiple human clinical trials. The claim authorisation process costs upwards of £100,000 per claim and can take 5–10 years — the cost and time barrier, not the evidence, explains the absence of authorised claims.
