KSM-66® Ashwagandha is a clinically studied full-spectrum root extract selected for its ability to support the body's natural stress response, recovery, and daily performance.
Unlike ordinary ashwagandha powders, KSM-66® uses a standardized root-only extraction process designed to preserve the natural profile of active compounds, including withanolides.
In Formulity, KSM-66® is included at 250 mg per serving as part of an 11-ingredient system designed to support long-term male vitality, energy consistency, recovery, and performance.
Rather than relying on a single ingredient, Formulity combines clinically studied ingredients that work together across multiple pathways — including stress balance, nutrient support, recovery, and daily performance.
Why KSM-66® Matters for Men
Modern lifestyles often place constant demands on the body.
Training intensity, work pressure, poor sleep, and daily stress can affect:
- Energy consistency
- Recovery capacity
- Motivation
- Mental focus
- Overall performance
KSM-66® Ashwagandha has been widely studied for its role in supporting the body's stress-response system, helping maintain a healthier balance between stress and recovery.
For men focused on long-term performance, managing stress is not just about relaxation — it is part of building a stronger foundation.
Human Research Snapshot
Chronic Stress Study
64 adults experiencing chronic stress
Participants received ashwagandha root extract twice daily for 60 days in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
Results:
- Serum cortisol decreased by 27.9% from baseline in the ashwagandha group
- Placebo group decreased by 7.9%

600 mg/day KSM-66® Study
A randomized controlled trial evaluated 600 mg/day KSM-66® Ashwagandha for 8 weeks in stressed adults.
Results:
- Significant reductions in perceived stress
- Significant reduction in morning cortisol
- Cortisol decreased approximately 25% from baseline

Dose Research: 250 mg vs 600 mg
A clinical study evaluated different daily doses of ashwagandha root extract:
- 250 mg/day
- 600 mg/day
over an 8-week period.
Results:
- Both dosage groups showed reductions in serum cortisol
- The 600 mg/day group demonstrated a stronger effect
This research supports that ashwagandha activity has been observed across different dosage levels, with higher doses showing greater effects in some outcomes.
