What is ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a traditional herb that has been used in Ayurvedic practices for centuries. Today, it is one of the world's most researched adaptogenic botanicals.
What are withanolides?
Withanolides are naturally occurring plant compounds found in ashwagandha. They are commonly used to standardise ashwagandha extracts, helping ensure a consistent level of these naturally occurring compounds in every serving.
What is KSM-66®?
KSM-66® is a premium full-spectrum ashwagandha root extract standardised to contain 5% naturally occurring withanolides. It is produced exclusively from the root and is one of the most extensively researched ashwagandha extracts available.
Why do you use KSM-66® instead of ashwagandha root powder?
KSM-66® is a concentrated full-spectrum root extract that provides a consistent level of naturally occurring withanolides in every serving. We chose it because it aligns with our commitment to using premium-quality ingredients throughout our formulas.
What does 25:1 extract mean?
A 25:1 extract means that approximately 25 parts of whole ashwagandha root are used to produce 1 part of concentrated extract. For example, in our Sleep formula, 250 mg of KSM-66® extract provides the equivalent of 5,000 mg of whole ashwagandha root. This means you get a substantial amount of ashwagandha with a lot less capsule space required.
