KSM-66 Ashwagandha

The most clinically studied form of ashwagandha, and the form we chose for Gut Instinct.

What is ashwagandha?

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an evergreen shrub native to India and parts of Africa and the Middle East. Its root has been valued in Ayurvedic wellness traditions for thousands of years, and today it is one of the most widely used botanical ingredients in the supplement world.

Why KSM-66 is different

Not all ashwagandha is the same, and the form matters. KSM-66 is a full-spectrum extract made from the root only, not the leaves, using a process that took more than a decade to develop.

It is standardised to a consistent level of withanolides, the naturally occurring compounds ashwagandha is known for, which means every capsule delivers the same measured amount rather than a variable, generic powder.

  • Root-only extract, the traditionally used part of the plant
  • Standardised for consistency batch to batch
  • One of the most clinically studied ashwagandha extracts in the world

Why we chose it

We build our formulas on evidence rather than hype. KSM-66 has been the subject of a large body of clinical research, and that research pedigree, combined with its root-only, standardised profile, is exactly why we selected it for Gut Instinct instead of a generic ashwagandha powder.

In Gut Instinct

In Gut Instinct, KSM-66 Ashwagandha sits alongside a multi-strain live culture blend and Vitamin B6, Zinc and Calcium, all in one small vegan capsule a day.

The KSM-66 we use is vegan and produced in the United Kingdom in a GMP-certified, FSSC 22000-certified facility, also certified gluten free, kosher and halal.
