Harnessing the best of traditional & modern medicine

The root of Ashwagandha is the part of the plant used for its ability to help the body cope with stress, also known as its adaptogenic effects.

Ashwagandha to ease stress If stress is impacting your overall wellbeing, try taking the herb ashwagandha. This is the common name for Withania somnifera , a herb also known as withania, winter cherry or Indian ginseng. It is a small green shrub that grows in the drier areas of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa. KSM-66 ® is a specialised extract of ashwagandha, produced using environmentally sustainable practices, and it is the most clinically studied ashwagandha extract available today. Many of the clinical trials on KSM-66 ® have focused on its effects on relieving stress symptoms and mild anxiety. Several studies show that KSM-66 ® can help improve the body’s ability to cope with stress and relieve the symptoms of stress. Other studies have shown that taking supplements containing KSM-66 ® helps to relieve symptoms of mild anxiety. KSM-66 ® is a patented, highly concentrated, full-spectrum ashwagandha extract, meaning it maintains the balance of the active components found naturally in the herb. It is not concentrated or altered to over-represent any one active constituent. KSM-66 ® uses only the roots of the ashwagandha plant, with no leaves added. This is because the root is the part of the plant used for its ability to help the body cope with stress, also known as its adaptogenic effects. You can find KSM-66 ® in Fusion Stress & Anxiety, where it acts to reduce symptoms of stress and mild anxiety. It is combined in Fusion Stress & Anxiety with polygala, a herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to calm the mind and soothe the spirit. Fusion Stress & Anxiety also contains citrus peel, which is traditionally used to regulate qi (life force energy) in the body and as a digestive tonic in Chinese medicine.
