KSM-66 Ashwagandha

Stress Modulation for Barrier Integrity

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which independently increases intestinal permeability through the HPA axis — compounding gut barrier compromise from other sources.

KSM-66 is the most clinically studied ashwagandha extract, with published trials demonstrating significant cortisol reduction and improved stress resilience in adults.

How to use: 1 capsule before bed. Evening timing supports cortisol regulation during the overnight recovery window.
