KSM-66 and Sensoril are the only ashwagandha extracts with published RCTs showing cortisol reduction and stress relief at their specific doses. Generic ashwagandha powder — even if labelled '5% withanolides' — lacks the extract-specific trial data. The difference is not marketing; it is the entire evidence base.

Frequently asked questions
Is KSM-66 ashwagandha better than generic ashwagandha?
KSM-66 is standardised to ≥5% withanolides with 24+ published RCTs using the specific extract. Generic ashwagandha powders have no extract-specific trial data and variable withanolide content (0.5–2%). The evidence base is not interchangeable.
What is the clinical dose of ashwagandha for stress and cortisol?
The most cited RCTs use 300mg KSM-66 twice daily (600mg/day) or 125–250mg Sensoril twice daily. Lower doses (125–300mg/day) show smaller effect sizes. Effects on cortisol are typically measured at 8–12 weeks.
What is the difference between KSM-66 and Sensoril ashwagandha?
KSM-66 uses only root extract; Sensoril uses root and leaf. KSM-66 has more stress/athletic performance RCTs; Sensoril has more cognitive and anxiety RCTs. Both are valid choices depending on the primary goal. KSM-66 is more widely available in India at lower cost.
Can I take ashwagandha long-term?
RCTs up to 12 weeks show a strong safety profile. Long-term data beyond 12 weeks is limited. Case reports of hepatotoxicity exist (primarily with high-dose or adulterated products). The ICMR recommends cycling: 8 weeks on, 4 weeks off, as a precaution.
