Description | South African drunken eggplant, also known as Indian ginseng and Indian winter cherry, is produced in India and the Middle East. It is called"somnifera"in Latin, which means"sleep inducing", and it belongs to the Solanaceae family instead of the Cinchona family, which means it is a sibling of pepper, eggplant and potato. The roots or leaves of Somnifera are usually ground into a powder for medicinal purposes. The active constituents in the Ashwagandha Extract include steroidal esters, alkaloids and saponins. Among them, steroidal lactones (in South African Drunken Eggplant refers to Drunken Eggplant lactones withanolides) are considered to be one of the special and effective main components in South African Drunken Eggplant, and there are about 360 kinds of derivatives. At present, it seems that the intoxicant lactones containing three key functional groups, namely unsaturated ketones, epoxides and lactone side chains, are more active. One of the representative Ashwagandha Extract is Withaferin A, which is the most studied intoxicant lactone so far. Drunken lactone is not only found in Ashwagandha Extract, but also in martial arts novels, which often refer to"sweat pills"made from mandarins, which also belong to the Solanaceae family and contain drunken lactone and alkaloids (scopolamine) that have a calming and relaxing effect on the human nerves. In terms of these two effects, it is a little bit similar to the South African Drunken Eggplant.
