KSM-66® Ashwagandha Root Extract

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.

Why Formulity Uses 250 mg KSM-66®

Clinical studies have commonly evaluated KSM-66® and standardized ashwagandha extracts within the 250–600 mg daily range.

Formulity uses:

250 mg KSM-66® Ashwagandha Extract per serving

because our formula is designed as a complete multi-ingredient system.

Instead of maximizing one ingredient alone, Formulity combines:

  • KSM-66® Ashwagandha
  • Tongkat Ali
  • Shilajit
  • Fenugreek
  • Essential vitamins and minerals

to support multiple aspects of male performance, including:

  • Stress resilience
  • Energy production
  • Recovery
  • Training consistency
  • Daily vitality

How It May Work

Ashwagandha is classified as an adaptogenic botanical, meaning it may help the body adapt to physical and mental stress.

Research suggests KSM-66® may influence pathways related to:

Stress Response

Supporting a balanced cortisol response during periods of physical and mental demand.

Recovery

Helping maintain the recovery environment needed for consistent training and daily performance.

Energy & Performance

Supporting the systems involved in energy stability, focus, and overall vitality.


Role in the Formulity 90-Day System

KSM-66® supports the foundation stage of the Formulity 90-Day System.

During the early weeks, the goal is not a temporary spike in energy — it is building a stronger foundation for consistent performance.

By supporting stress balance and recovery capacity, KSM-66® helps Formulity create the environment needed for long-term progress.
