What ashwagandha is: a plant of the nightshade family, native to India and other regions of Asia and Africa, whose root is used in food supplements as root powder or extract.
KSM-66® and standardised extracts: KSM-66® is an ashwagandha root extract standardised to a minimum withanolide content. When comparing products, check the amount of extract per capsule (for example 200 mg, 400 mg or 450 mg), the withanolide percentage and the number of capsules per serving.
Combined formulas: some formulas combine ashwagandha with vitamins. In that case, the vitamin claims apply: vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal psychological function. See B complex and magnesium.
Precautions: do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult your doctor before use if you are taking medication (for example for the thyroid, sedatives or immunosuppressants) or have a medical condition.
