KSM-66™ Ashwagandha: Ayurvedic Medicine’s Best Remedy to Cope with Stress

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an evergreen plant that has been used for over 3,000 years as an essential part of the traditional Ayurvedic medicine system of India. Today, modern science is confirming the legendary benefits of Ashwagandha, and the patented KSM-66® formulation has been leading the way with numerous clinical and scientific studies. KSM-66 is a high-concentration, full-spectrum extract of Ashwagandha, retaining all the natural constituents of the herb in the original balance. 

As an adaptogen, Ashwagandha helps the mind and body to adapt to all kinds of stress. Here are some key points:

  1. Weight Management: KSM-66 Ashwagandha has been shown to help improve weight loss results by more than 2X compared to someone not taking the ingredient.*
  2. Stress and Anxious Feelings: KSM-66 Ashwagandha has been shown to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, leading to improved stress response and less worrying.*
  3. Improved Brain Function: Studies suggest that ashwagandha Ashwagandha may improve memory, task performance, and attention. It’s thought to promote antioxidant activity that protects nerve cells from harmful free radicals.*
  4. Increased Strength and Endurance: KSM-66 has been found to enhance cardiorespiratory endurance and improve muscle strength and recovery, making it popular among athletes.*
  5. Better Sleep: Ashwagandha may improve sleep quality due to its calming effects, which could be beneficial for those with insomnia or other sleep disorders.*
  6. Supports Sexual and Reproductive Health: In men, KSM-66 can improve testosterone levels, sperm count and motility, and in women, it can support both orgasm and sexual satisfaction and a healthy menstrual cycle.*

KSM-66 is one of the vital ingredients in ZipSlim®, a scientifically validated product formulated to help people get fitter, healthier, and ultimately, happier.* A delicious nutraceutical supplement in blackberry lemonade and cherry limeade flavors, ZipSlim® is a full-circle wellness product.
