KSM-66 Ashwagandha in menopause

KSM-66 is the most clinically-studied ashwagandha root extract - withanolides ≥5%. Moderate evidence for cortisol reduction, energy improvement, and libido support. For perimenopausal women with high stress, the clinical dose is 300-600mg daily. Halal status is easier to verify (plant root with an HPMC capsule). Caution with thyroid issues, as it can raise T4.
