Product Description

Ashwagandha, also known as Withania somnifera, is a renowned adaptogenic herb that has been used in traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda for thousands of years. The herb comes in many forms, with root powder and extract being the most common. While both forms offer similar health benefits, like stress relief and improved sleep, focus, and vitality, they differ in concentration, dosage, and usage.

What Is Ashwagandha Root Extract?

Ashwagandha root extract is made from the root of the Ashwagandha plant (Withania somnifera), a traditional herb widely used in Ayurvedic medicine. It is best known for supporting stress relief, reducing anxiety, and improving sleep quality. As an adaptogen, Ashwagandha helps the body stay balanced and better cope with both physical and emotional stress. For centuries, it has been valued for promoting overall health, energy, and vitality.

The extract form is made by concentrating the root, giving it higher potency in smaller doses. This is because it contains more withanolides, the natural compounds believed to provide the main health benefits. Today, Ashwagandha extract is widely available in convenient forms such as capsules, tablets, and gummies, making it easy to add to daily wellness routines.

What is Ashwagandha Root Powder?

Ashwagandha root powder is made from the dried whole roots of the Ashwagandha plant, which are ground into a fine consistency. It maintains all of the constituents of the root in their natural ratios, but it’s less concentrated than an extract. The powder can be mixed into food or beverages, encapsulated, or used in the preparation of herbal teas and tonics.

Ashwagandha Root Extract Benefits

Stress and Anxiety Reduction
Ashwagandha is best known for its calming effects. Research shows it may help lower cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, which in turn can ease feelings of stress and anxiety. This makes it a popular natural choice for people dealing with busy lifestyles or high-pressure environments.

Improved Sleep
By promoting relaxation and balancing stress hormones, Ashwagandha may also improve sleep quality and help people fall asleep more easily. Some studies suggest it can increase both sleep duration and sleep efficiency.

Cognitive Function
Ashwagandha has been studied for its potential to support brain health. It may enhance memory, focus, and overall cognitive performance by reducing oxidative stress in the brain and supporting healthy nerve cell function.

Physical Performance
Athletes and active individuals sometimes use Ashwagandha because it may help boost endurance, muscle strength, and recovery after exercise. Its adaptogenic properties support both physical and mental performance.

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties
Ashwagandha contains bioactive compounds with strong antioxidant effects. These compounds may help protect cells from damage, reduce inflammation, and support overall immune health.

KSM-66 Ashwagandha

Not all ashwagandha supplements are the same. When it comes to quality and effectiveness, KSM-66 is recognized as the gold standard. Unlike many extracts that use both root and leaves, KSM-66 is made exclusively from the ashwagandha root through a unique full-spectrum extraction process. This ensures maximum potency, purity, and bioavailability.

Backed by 22 human clinical trials, KSM-66 has consistently demonstrated benefits in reducing stress, improving cognitive performance, boosting physical strength, and supporting sexual health. These studies are all placebo-controlled, double-blind, and randomized, meeting the highest standards of scientific research.

With its superior root-only concentration, proven effectiveness, and clean manufacturing process free from solvents or artificial additives, KSM-66 is the most natural, powerful, and reliable form of ashwagandha available today.

Why is Ashwagandha Root Extract Superior To Ashwagandha Root Powder?

There are several reasons why Ashwagandha root extract is considered superior to the root powder:

  • Potency: Due to its concentrated nature, the root extract provides a higher dose of active compounds like withanolides in a smaller quantity, potentially offering more potent effects for stress relief, anxiety, sleep, hormonal health, and more.
  • Dosage: The extract requires a smaller dosage, which may be more convenient for some users.
  • Taste: The extract, often in capsule or tablet form, bypasses the strong taste and smell that can be associated with the root powder.

How To Use Ashwagandha Root Powder and Ashwagandha Root Extract?

  • Ashwagandha Root Powder: The recommended dosage for Ashwagandha powder ranges from 3-6 grams per day, usually mixed into food or drinks. It can be taken at any time of day, with or without food.
  • Ashwagandha Root Extract: The recommended dosage ranges from 500-1900 mg per day, often split into two doses. It is typically found in capsule or tablet form and can be taken with or without food at any time of the day.

It is important to consult a healthcare professional before using Ashwagandha supplements, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, on medication, or have existing health conditions.

FAQs

1. What is the ease of availability of Ashwagandha root extract vs powder?

Typically, Ashwagandha root extract takes longer to produce due to the additional processing required. If you are seeking extracts with specific percentages of withanolides, you may encounter delays unless you are connected with premium suppliers that offer a wide product portfolio of Ashwagandha extracts. On the other hand, Ashwagandha powder is more readily available in the market due to its minimal processing.

2. Is Ashwagandha root extract costlier than powder?

Yes. Ashwagandha root extract, which requires more advanced processing and high-end technology, is generally more expensive than the powdered form. However, the high potency of the extract justifies its higher cost, as significantly larger quantities of powder are needed to achieve the same therapeutic benefits as a much smaller dose of the root extract. This makes the extract a more efficient option in terms of dosage and efficacy, despite its higher price.
