Ashwagandha KSM66

Ashwagandha KSM6 Ashwagandha is widely used in Ayurveda to manage stress and as a tonic. It has beneficial effects in various disease conditions. However, KSM-66 is not just a regular Ashwagandha but an extract tested to be of high quality, containing all the beneficial bioactive compounds. Numerous clinical studies with this extract show that it works more effectively than regular Ashwagandha.

One of the issues with non-standardised extracts is that they might not contain what they claim. It may happen due to many reasons. It may occur due to falsification. However, it often occurs because the content of active compounds in a herb depends on where it was grown, how it was grown, and even how and when harvested. Further, loss of active compounds may occur during improper extraction and production.

However, KSM-66 is a full-spectrum Ashwagandha extract that is tested to contain withanolide more than 5% and other alkaloids and sterols. It means that every batch of KSM-66 is extracted using unique technology and then tested to ensure that it contains all the major bioactive compounds. This is to ensure that the extract will work as expected.

Health Benefits and Clinical Studies of Ashwagandha KSM-66

One can find numerous clinical studies regarding the health benefits of Ashwagandha. However, it does not mean that the product a person is buying will have a similar action and quality as products used in clinical trials. Therefore, manufacturers of KSM-66 have partnered with various academic centres to use their extract in clinical studies. All the studies mentioned below have used KSM-66 and not just any other Ashwagandha.

Stress

Ashwagandha is most commonly used to reduce stress and thus minimize the risk of chronic ailments. It also has an energising effect. In one clinical trial, 64 subjects were divided into two groups, with one group given KSM-66 (300mg full-spectrum ashwagandha) and the other group a placebo. The study confirmed that 60 days of KSM-66 intake considerably reduced cortisol levels.¹
Boosts Energy and Cardiorespiratory Endurance

In one clinical study, 50 men and women took KSM-66 Ashwagandha for 12 weeks. Researchers found that KSM-66 Ashwagandha could considerably increase exercise capacity and endurance.²
Boosts Male Fertility

In another study, forty six men with low fertility used KSM-66 for 90 days. At the end of the study, researchers found an increase of 167% in sperm count and 53% in sperm volume. That is quite a considerable increase.³
Female Sexual Dysfunction

Treating loss of libido in women is quite complicated, and there are no known medications that may help. In one study, 50 women took 300 mg of KSM-66 for eight weeks. At the end of the study, they reported improved arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction.⁴
Thyroid Health

An optimal thyroid helps maintain metabolic rate. It also affects cognitive function, and cardiovascular health. Improving thyroid health helps you feel energised and focused. Studies show that KSM-66 may improve thyroid health.⁵
Anti-Aging

Measuring the anti-aging effect of any medication is quite challenging. New studies show that shortening of DNA telomere occurs on aging. Studies show that KSM-66 Ashwagandha may help prevent its shortening by increasing telomerase activity and thus slow down aging.⁶

Side Effects of Ashwagandha KSM-66

Ashwagandha rarely causes any severe side effects. Since KSM-66 is free from impurities, it is less likely to cause allergic reactions. However, those taking medication for thyroid issues or diabetes may need dosage adjustment when using KSM-66.
