The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the dietary supplement KSM66 on sleep, quality of life and general health in men and women aged 65-80 years. In parallel, safety and tolerance* were also evaluated.
The study, which was randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind, involved 50 men and women with an average age of 72 years.
During the 12-week study, participants received either KSM66 or a placebo. The capsules were identical in both smell and appearance. The dose used was 2x300 mg.
Resultat: Signifikant bättre effekt i den aktiva gruppen jämfört med placebo (p<0,0001)**. Bäst effekt hade KSM66 på generellt välbefinnande, sömnkvalitet och mental prestationsförmåga.
THREE TIMES MORE HAD A GOOD EFFECT IN THE KSM66 GROUP
The treating doctors assessed that all people in the active group had benefited from the medicine. Of these, 76% were assessed as having a very good effect. In the placebo group, the corresponding figure was 25%.
The results of the now published study are supported by a number of previous studies on KSM66 - studies that show that the extract reduces stress, improves sleep, increases mental capacity and improves cardiovascular health. A consequence of Ashwagandha's unique and pronounced ability to help the body withstand stress. It helps the body to rest and recuperate which, among other things, affects energy production in the cells (ATP).
Background: In Ayurveda, the world's oldest medicine, Ashwagandha has been used for millennia to improve energy, stamina, strength and sleep. The Latin name, Withania Somnifera, given to the medicinal plant by Carl Linnaeus means the herb that induces sleep. Ashwagandha means 'strong as a horse'.

** p<0,0001 innebär att det är mindre än en tusendels sannolikhet att resultatet beror på slumpen.

In addition, Ashwagandha supports male sexual function and female reproductive organs and contributes to energy, stamina and increased muscle mass during exercise.
