An Oil-Based Approach to Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the most widely formulated botanicals in wellness. Most ashwagandha extracts, however, are dry powders designed for tablets, capsules and sachets — formats that do not always suit oil-based products. SomVOL takes a different route: a root-only, full-spectrum ingredient supplied in an oil-based, softgel-ready form.

VOL Technology

SomVOL is made with VOL Technology, ModernVEDA's platform for an oil-based, softgel-ready ashwagandha ingredient with a full-spectrum root profile standardised to withanolides by HPLC.

Built for Oil-Based Formats

Because the finished ingredient is oil-based and softgel-ready, SomVOL suits oil-based and fat-phase formats where dry powders can settle or separate. That makes it straightforward to co-formulate in oil-based systems, such as alongside omega-3 oils or in sleep and daily-wellness softgels.

Documentation and Supply

SomVOL is Non-GMO and vegan. ModernVEDA's certifications are ISO 9001, GMP, FSSAI, Halal and Kosher. A technical dossier and formulator samples are available to partners on request, with small launch-batch quantities to support new product development.
