What Is Ashwagandha (and KSM-66®)?

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a root used in Ayurvedic traditions to support balance, calm, and resilience. It’s classed as an adaptogen, meaning it helps your body adapt to everyday stressors.

Why KSM-66® Is Special

Not all ashwagandha is created equal. KSM-66® is a full-spectrum root extract that’s been studied extensively and standardised for potency. That means you can trust you’re getting a consistent, effective dose every time.

Benefits You Can Expect

Stress & Calm

Research shows 300–600 mg daily may reduce stress levels and support a calmer mood.

Sleep Quality

Around 300 mg per day has been linked with better sleep onset and overall sleep quality.

Energy & Focus

At 600 mg, participants in studies reported sharper focus and reduced fatigue.

Exercise & Recovery

Athletes taking 600–700 mg daily improved endurance, strength, and recovery.

(Evidence Snapshot: A 2019 clinical trial found that adults taking 600 mg of KSM-66® experienced significant drops in stress scores after 8 weeks.)

Who Should Consider It (and Who Shouldn’t)

• Best for: busy professionals, parents, athletes, students, or anyone seeking calm, focus, or better rest.

• Skip or check with your GP if: you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking thyroid/antidepressant medication.

• Always: follow label guidance and consult a healthcare professional if you’re on prescription medicine.
