Super Ashwagandha contains a proprietary extract (KSM-66) of Ashwagandha root standardised to contain more than 5 % withanolides, its most beneficial active ingredient. The extraction process uses neither chemicals nor alcohol and respects the delicate balance of different ingredients naturally present in the whole Ashwagandha root.
Ashwagandha root (Withania somnifera) is one of ayurvedic medicine's most highly regarded tonics . It is also an adaptogen which combats stress and promotes learning and memorising capacity. Ashwagandha nourishes the body's reserves. It is traditionally used for age-related problems, insomnia (it contains the alkaloids somnin and sominiferine), impotence and mental fatigue.
