Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has long been used as a foundational adaptogen in Ayurvedic medicine. It is known to have many benefits, including increased resistance to stress and anxiety, improved physical performance and immune function, and improved fertility, sleep and neurological function. Its diverse phytochemistry includes withanolides, sitoindosides, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids, which help explain its diverse physiological actions, ranging from cardio and neuroprotective effects to anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic effects.
KSM-66 is a full-spectrum ashwagandha extract that uses only the roots of the plant, notable for the large number of randomized, controlled trials that document its effectiveness. Clinical trials have demonstrated significant improvement in symptoms and cortisol levels in participants with chronic stress, as well as improved weight control and food cravings in this population. It has also been shown to improve general well-being, sleep quality and mental alertness in older adults, as well as memory and executive functions in people with cognitive impairment. Clinical trials document increased cardiorespiratory endurance, measured by VO2 max, in male and female athletes using KSM-66, as well as greater increases in muscle mass and strength when combined with resistance training. Additionally, KSM-66 extract has demonstrated benefits in improving sleep quality, improving sexual function in both men and women, restoring spermatogenic activity in oligospermic men, and improving thyroid function in individuals with subclinical hypothyroidism.
