INFORMATION ON ASHWAGANDHA

KSM-66 is a high-concentration, full-spectrum root extract of ashwagandha, standardized to ≥5% withanolides. It is produced using a solvent-free extraction process that preserves the herb’s natural balance of bioactive compounds.

Unlike many extracts that use both leaf and root, KSM-66 uses root-only extract, which aligns with traditional Ayurvedic use and may offer better tolerability.

Functions:

  • Helps regulate the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis

  • Reduces elevated cortisol levels

  • Supports GABAergic activity for calm and sleep

  • Enhances mitochondrial function and endurance

  • May support healthy testosterone levels in men

  • Provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects

TAILORBLEND uses KSM-66 for its strong clinical backing, standardized potency, and consistent bioavailability
