Formulation and evaluation of Ashwagandha capsule on Hypertension

  • Unique Paper ID: 181912
  • PageNo: 527-544
  • Abstract:
  • Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), commonly known as Indian ginseng, is an adaptogenic herb renowned for its stress-reducing, immunomodulatory, and rejuvenating properties. The formulation of ashwagandha capsules aims to deliver its therapeutic benefits in a convenient, standardized dosage form. This study focuses on the development of ashwagandha capsules using high-quality, dried root powder, ensuring optimal bioactive compound content, particularly withanolides. The formulation process involves selecting appropriate excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica for stability, flowability, and capsule integrity. The capsules are evaluated for physicochemical properties, including size, weight variation, disintegration time, and dissolution rate. Additionally, the formulation undergoes stability testing to the retention of therapeutic potency over time. The final product is characterized for its high-quality standards, safety, and efficacy, providing an effective, natural supplement for stress management and overall well-being.
