KSM-66 Ashwagandha, 600 mg, Nutricost is an advanced dietary supplement containing standardized organic extract from the root of Withania somnifera – also known as Ashwagandha – in its patented KSM-66® form, one of the most studied and effective forms of Ashwagandha available. Each capsule provides 600 mg of Ashwagandha root extract with minimum 5% total withanolides and less than 0.1% Withaferin A – ideal concentration for the balance between efficiency and safety. The formula is completed with 5 mg of BioPerine® (standardized extract from Piper nigrum fruits, containing minimum 95% piperine), which significantly increases absorption and bioavailability of active substances.

Ashwagandha has been recognized for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its adaptogenic properties – the ability to help the body cope with physical, mental, and emotional stress. KSM-66, as a concentrated and standardized form, offers the most consistent and documented benefits for mental, hormonal, immune, and general health.

 

Detailed Benefits of KSM-66 Ashwagandha Root Extract

• Reducing stress and anxiety, balancing stress response

One of the most appreciated qualities of KSM-66 Ashwagandha extract is its ability to modulate the stress response system, especially the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Under conditions of prolonged stress, cortisol levels – the stress hormone – constantly increase, leading to physical and mental exhaustion, anxiety, insomnia, and decreased immune function.

KSM-66 Ashwagandha acts by:
✓ Lowering serum cortisol levels – reducing the impact of chronic stress on the body
✓ Promoting a state of calm and relaxation – without sedative effect
✓ Improving resilience to stress – by balancing the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system

Clinical studies show that using KSM-66 contributes to reducing stress perception by up to 44%, being ideal for people subjected to high levels of mental or emotional stress.

• Supporting mental health and emotional balance

Ashwagandha has a direct impact on neurotransmitters such as serotonin and GABA, responsible for well-being, emotional balance, and sleep quality. The lack of these neurotransmitters is often associated with:
• Irritability and anxiety
• Depression and mood swings
• Difficulties concentrating and mental exhaustion

With the intake of KSM-66 Ashwagandha, the following are observed:
✓ Reduction of symptoms of generalized anxiety and affective disorders
✓ Improvement of mental clarity and concentration capacity
✓ Stimulation of motivation and psychological tone

The extract has a natural anxiolytic effect, without adverse sedative or dependency effects, making it suitable for both daily use and periods of increased stress.

• Increasing physical energy and endurance

Ashwagandha is an excellent tonic for the nervous and muscular system, having been used for centuries to restore vital energy (ojas in Ayurveda). Physical exhaustion, lack of motivation, and slow recovery after effort can be symptoms of hormonal imbalances or chronic fatigue.

By administering KSM-66 extract:
✓ Exercise capacity and physical endurance improve
✓ Muscle recovery time after workouts decreases
✓ Markers of inflammation and oxidative stress are reduced

Ashwagandha supports increasing ATP levels in cells and improving mitochondrial function, leading to more energy at a systemic level.

• Regulating hormones and supporting thyroid and adrenal gland function

KSM-66 Ashwagandha positively influences stress hormone levels and general hormonal balance. It is particularly beneficial for:
• Reducing hypercortisolism (chronic stress)
• Supporting thyroid gland function (especially in cases of subclinical hypothyroidism)
• Regulating the HPA axis and supporting endocrine response to stress

Studies show a correlation between KSM-66 administration and increased T3 and T4 levels in mild hypothyroidism, along with reduced symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, or decreased body temperature.

• Improving sexual function and fertility

Ashwagandha is known for its beneficial effects on reproductive health in both men and women. KSM-66, being a standardized extract exclusively from the root, has proven effective in:

✓ Increasing libido and sexual desire
✓ Improving sperm quality and testosterone levels in men
✓ Supporting hormonal balance and reducing symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in women

In a clinical study, administration of KSM-66 led to significant increases in sperm concentration, sperm motility, and free testosterone levels – making it a natural ally in optimizing male fertility.

• Support for muscle mass and sports performance

KSM-66 Ashwagandha is one of the few plant extracts with demonstrable effects on muscle mass and physical strength. By reducing cortisol and increasing testosterone levels, the extract:

✓ Stimulates lean muscle mass growth
✓ Improves body composition and decreases body fat
✓ Supports protein synthesis and post-workout recovery

It is extremely popular among athletes, bodybuilders, and active people who want a natural alternative for supporting performance without artificial stimulant effects.

• Supporting immune function and protection against oxidative stress

A balanced immune system is essential for disease prevention and long-term health maintenance. KSM-66 Ashwagandha contributes to:

✓ Reducing systemic inflammation – by lowering CRP levels and other inflammatory markers
✓ Increasing immune cell activity (NK cells, macrophages)
✓ Protecting cells against oxidative stress – due to its indirect antioxidant capacity

By reducing physiological stress, Ashwagandha indirectly contributes to deeper sleep, more efficient digestion, and increased ability to adapt to external stressors.

• Improving sleep quality and nighttime recovery

Ashwagandha has a mild natural sedative effect, without causing daytime drowsiness. Due to cortisol regulation and support of neurotransmitter balance, KSM-66:

✓ Decreases sleep latency – faster and easier falling asleep
✓ Reduces nighttime awakenings – deeper and unfragmented sleep
✓ Improves overall sleep quality – efficient body recovery

Deep sleep is essential for cellular regeneration, brain detoxification, and emotional balance – all supported by consistent administration of Ashwagandha extract.
