BioTechUSA Ashwagandha KSM-66 60 Capsules

Ashwagandha is one of the oldest plants in the supplement aisle and one of the most variable, because what ends up in the capsule depends entirely on which part of the plant was used and how it was extracted.

KSM-66 is the reason to pay attention to this one. It is a branded, full-spectrum extract drawn from the root only rather than the leaf, and standardised so that every capsule carries 250mg of extract with 12.5mg of withanolides. BioTechUSA keep the rest of the capsule simple: the extract, a cellulose bulking agent and a gelatine shell, with nothing else added.

One bottle holds 60 capsules and the dose is a single capsule a day, taken before a meal with a glass of water, so a bottle is two months of a daily routine and there is nothing to measure or mix. The shell is gelatine, so it is not suitable if you avoid animal products, and the label states it is not for under-12s, or for anyone pregnant, nursing or taking medication.
