What Is Ashwagandha?

Ashwagandha is the common name for Withania somnifera, a plant traditionally used in Ayurveda. It is also sometimes called Indian ginseng or winter cherry.

Ashwagandha supplements are available in several forms, including whole-root powders and concentrated extracts. Those forms are not necessarily interchangeable, because their compositions and concentrations can differ.

What Is KSM-66®?

KSM-66® is a branded ashwagandha extract derived from the plant's root.

When comparing supplements, look beyond the botanical name. Check the amount of extract in each capsule, the declared standardisation, the manufacturer's recommended intake and the full ingredient information.

What Does 5% Withanolides Mean?

Withanolides are naturally occurring constituents of ashwagandha.

A stated 5% standardisation means the extract has a declared withanolide concentration of 5% by weight. Based on the current 300mg extract specification, that corresponds mathematically to approximately 15mg withanolides per capsule, subject to verification against the approved product label.

This concentration is an ingredient specification, not a guarantee of particular health effects.
