What is ashwagandha
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a shrub from the nightshade family native to India and grown there on a large scale. Ashwaganda root, as in the case of ginseng, has an active effect. That is why the plant is sometimes also called Indian ginseng. The name aswagandha means "horse scent" and comes from the characteristic horse scent that characterizes the fresh root of the plant. Ashwaganda extract is a source of bioactive compounds with a healing effect, known as withanolides, and with the adaptogenic effect of glycovitanolides. In addition, ashwagandha also contains significant amounts of alkaloids, phytosterols and is a rich source of iron.


How does ashwagandha work?
Ashwagandha is one of the adaptogens, i.e. a group of plant-derived substances that increase resistance to stress and maintain the proper balance of the body. Like other adaptogens, it increases the body's resistance to stressors, supporting the nervous and immune systems. In addition to adaptogenic properties, ashwagandha has a positive effect on the body in many areas of its functioning, including the mind - improving mental well-being and mental activity, as well as the circulatory and respiratory systems. In addition to a positive effect on the mental condition, it also adds vitality, positively influencing the increase of physical endurance and sexual function. Such a synergistic effect of ashwaganda on the mind and body makes the effect of this miracle plant noticeable. Many of these amazing properties of ashwaganda have been known for a long time, which is why its root has been used in ancient Indian Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.


Why KSM-66?
KSM-66 Ashwagandha is a branded extract, produced by a family-run Indian company that has been specializing in the production of ashwaganda and in promoting its health-promoting properties for years. The extract is produced in India, which is the natural range of this plant, and only Withania somnifera root obtained from certified, organic crops is used for its production. This guarantees the presence of the full spectrum of active ingredients specific to this part of the plant. The extraction is carried out in the process of "green chemistry", ie without the use of alcohol or other chemical solvents. As a result, the consumer receives the highest quality product, characterized by high biological activity and free from residues of any harmful organic solvents or other chemical impurities.


Why only the root?
Due to the much lower price of the leaves, which can be as much as 1/15 of the price of the roots, some producers use their admixtures in the extracts they produce. The original use of the leaves, however, was for topical skin treatments for conditions such as burns or boils, rather than consumption. For thousands of years, the root has been the part of the plant used in traditional medicine for consumption in order to obtain adaptogenic benefits. Root use also has a much better scientific basis than leaf use - in terms of clinical evidence and publication:

The vast majority of published clinical trials were conducted with the use of root extract, not leaf,
British, American and Indian pharmacopoeia monographs as well as WHO publications refer only to the Withania somnifera root as a plant material with a healing effect. The leaf is not even mentioned for therapeutic use in any of these
The consumption of ashwaganda roots was significantly greater, with more observability of its safety than the consumption of leaves
Regulators in some European countries only allow the root of the plant, not the leaves
Due to the above reasons, only the root of the Withania somnifera plant is used to produce the KSM-66 Ashwagandha extract, which ensures the best effect and safety of our product.
