Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a plant that has been used in Ayurvedic tradition for thousands of years. It is classified as an adaptogen — a botanical traditionally used to help the body maintain normal balance. The root is the part most commonly used in supplements.
What is KSM-66?
KSM-66 is a proprietary extract of ashwagandha root produced by Ixoreal Biomed. It is extracted using a process that preserves the root's natural profile of active compounds, primarily withanolides. KSM-66 is standardised to a guaranteed minimum percentage of withanolides, which means each batch contains a consistent and verified amount of the active constituents.
This standardisation matters because raw herb powders can vary significantly in potency from batch to batch. A standardised extract gives you more predictable content.
Root-only extract
KSM-66 uses only the root of the ashwagandha plant, not the leaves. Traditional Ayurvedic use of ashwagandha centres on the root, and the root-only approach is considered more aligned with traditional usage and better studied in human research.
What is BioPerine?
BioPerine is a patented extract of black pepper (Piper nigrum) standardised to 95% piperine. It is included in many supplements to support the absorption of other ingredients. Piperine has been studied for its ability to improve the bioavailability of various compounds by inhibiting certain digestive enzymes that would otherwise break them down before they are absorbed.
How is it taken?
Ashwagandha is typically taken once daily with food. The standard dose in most supplements is 600 mg of root extract. It is commonly taken in the morning or evening — either works.
