Pure Encapsulations Ashwagandha vs Herb Pharm Ashwagandha Alcohol-Free Extract

Pick Pure Encapsulations if you want a fixed, standardized dose in a capsule you take once a day. Pick Herb Pharm if you prefer a liquid you can split into two or three smaller doses and absorb quickly. Pure Encapsulations states 500 mg of root extract standardized to 2.5% withanolides (12.5 mg) per capsule, which is a concrete, verifiable figure; Herb Pharm is a liquid root extract in organic glycerin and water with no withanolide figure published. Owners of the Pure product rate it highly, though the rating base is small. Herb Pharm suits people who dislike swallowing large capsules, since Pure uses size 00 capsules.

• Choose the Pure Encapsulations if you want one standardized capsule a day with a stated withanolide content and a certified gluten-free, vegan formula.
• Choose the Herb Pharm if you want a liquid extract you can dose two or three times daily and absorb quickly, without swallowing capsules.
