What You Should Know About Ashwagandha KSM-66®?
Ashwagandha, also known as “Indian Ginseng,” has a long history in Ayurvedic medicine. Originating from ancient India, it is renowned for its medicinal properties. Ashwagandha contains bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, steroidal lactones, withanolides, and iron. These compounds contribute to its ability to reduce cortisol levels, making it a popular choice for enhancing cognitive function, alleviating stress and anxiety, boosting energy and muscle growth, and improving immune system function.

Why Supplement with Ashwagandha?
As societal stress continues to rise, more individuals face a range of issues from prolonged exposure to high-stress environments. When under stress, the adrenal glands release excess cortisol. Prolonged high levels of cortisol can lead to both physical and psychological problems, such as elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, osteoporosis, anxiety, poor sleep quality, memory loss, and a weakened immune system.
1. Improves Sleep Quality
One of the most well-known benefits of Ashwagandha is its ability to promote better sleep. A study found that after 10 weeks of taking 300mg of Ashwagandha root extract twice daily, participants experienced significant improvements in sleep parameters, such as sleep onset latency and efficiency. Elderly individuals (aged 65-80) taking 600mg daily also showed enhanced sleep quality, alertness upon waking, and overall health without adverse effects.
2. Reduces Stress and Anxiety, Enhances Mood
A clinical trial with 60 participants demonstrated that a daily dose of 240mg of Ashwagandha root extract significantly reduced scores on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21). Additionally, cortisol levels, known as the “stress hormone,” were notably reduced. In another study, individuals who took 300mg of Ashwagandha root extract daily for 90 days showed improved memory recall and higher scores on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), indicating reduced stress and improved well-being. Ashwagandha has also been effective in treating emotional symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety.
3. Enhances Muscle Strength, Boosts Endurance, and Aids Recovery
Ashwagandha supplements have been shown to significantly enhance muscle strength and promote muscle growth. One study observed that healthy young men who took 300mg of Ashwagandha root extract twice daily for eight weeks experienced a notable increase in muscle strength (e.g., bench press: 26.4 kg in the placebo group vs. 46.0 kg in the Ashwagandha group) and size (arm circumference: 5.3cm vs. 8.6cm; chest: 1.4cm vs. 3.3cm). Additionally, the Ashwagandha group exhibited less muscle damage from exercise-induced stress compared to the placebo group. Another study revealed that Ashwagandha root extract improves cardiopulmonary endurance in healthy adults, offering protection during physical exertion and enhancing athletic performance. Participants demonstrated a significant increase in maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and improved fatigue recovery, energy levels, and adaptability during exercise.
