Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) belongs to the nightshade family and is also known as ‘sleepberry’ or ‘winter cherry’. Our product contains an extract from the root.

KSM-66® is a branded extract from the ashwagandha root produced by the Indian manufacturer Ixoreal Biomed. According to the manufacturer, it is derived exclusively from the root and standardised to 5% withanolides.

The root is the part of the plant traditionally used. Leaves contain different quantities and compositions of active ingredients. We therefore use only a root extract.

Withanolides are plant compounds that are characteristic of ashwagandha. Their content serves as a benchmark for standardising extracts and comparing them with one another.

The extract is standardised to a withanolide content of 5%. In a daily serving of 600 mg of extract, this amounts to 30 mg. One capsule contains 300 mg of extract with 15 mg of withanolides. This keeps the amount comparable from batch to batch.

Manufacturers sometimes quote percentages, sometimes milligrams, sometimes per capsule, sometimes per day. Furthermore, the figures vary depending on the measurement method. You should therefore always compare the amount per daily serving and check how it was measured.

No. There are currently no authorised EU health claims for ashwagandha. That is why we give you amounts, information on the raw material and important notes instead of promises about effects.

In Germany, there is no specified maximum intake, and the BfR has so far been unable to establish a guideline for a safe intake level. The absence of a maximum intake does not mean that any amount is safe. You should therefore adhere to the recommended daily intake of 2 capsules daily.

The pack size does not indicate a recommended duration of use. You should discuss longer-term use with your doctor.

Please do not. The recommended daily intake is 2 capsules and must not be exceeded. Do not take any other supplements containing ashwagandha alongside this product.
