What is KSM-66 Ashwagandha? A Guide to the World's Leading Adaptogen

Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs in Ayurveda, a traditional form of medicine in India. It's known as an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body manage stress. But not all ashwagandha extracts are the same. KSM-66 is widely considered the gold standard, and for good reason.

What Makes KSM-66 Special?

KSM-66 is a patented, full-spectrum extract made exclusively from the root of the ashwagandha plant. 'Full-spectrum' means that it maintains the balance of the various constituents as they are found in the original herb. This is achieved through a unique, water-based extraction process that avoids the use of alcohol or chemical solvents.

This process has taken over 14 years of research and development to perfect, resulting in the highest-concentration, most bioavailable full-spectrum root extract on the market today.

Clinically Proven Benefits

KSM-66 is the most extensively researched ashwagandha extract. It has been evaluated in over 20 human clinical trials, which have demonstrated its effectiveness for:

• Reducing Stress and Anxiety: KSM-66 has been shown to significantly reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, leading to a reduction in perceived stress and anxiety.
• Improving Memory and Cognitive Function: Studies have shown that KSM-66 can enhance both immediate and general memory, as well as executive function, attention, and information-processing speed.
• Enhancing Physical Performance: It can improve strength, endurance, and muscle recovery, making it popular with athletes.
• Supporting Healthy Sleep: By calming the nervous system, KSM-66 can help improve sleep quality.

Why Root-Only Matters

KSM-66 is a root-only extract. This is important because, traditionally, the roots are the part of the plant used for their adaptogenic properties. Some cheaper extracts use leaves, which have a different chemical profile and lack the extensive clinical backing of the root.

When you choose a product containing KSM-66, like our NeuroCalm formula, you are choosing an ingredient with a proven track record of safety and efficacy, ensuring you get the true benefits of this powerful adaptogen.
