Take 1 capsule daily, preferably with a meal.

There are four reasons KSM-66® Ashwagandha is superior to other forms:

1. It contains exactly 5% withanolides, a class of compounds thought to be responsible for most of ashwagandha’s benefits. Other forms can contain significantly less or more than this amount, making it difficult to consume the right dose.[1][2]
2. It’s been studied more than any other form, and is considered the gold standard of ashwagandha supplements by scientists.[3]
3. It’s made using the root of the ashwagandha plant, not the leaves, as the former is thought to be safer and more beneficial than the latter.
4. It’s made without alcohol or other chemical solvents, minimizing the risk of potentially hazardous compounds contaminating the ingredients or the environment.

While you can find some ashwagandha supplements that boast a higher withanolide content, there’s a good chance they don’t check all of the other boxes that KSM-66® Ashwagandha does, which is why it’s the best form of ashwagandha you can buy.

Yes.

We’ve formulated KSM-66® Ashwagandha to work in conjunction with other Legion supplements like Performance Surge and Triumph, which also contain ashwagandha.

While taking these supplements together may result in a dose that’s greater than the clinically effective dose of 100 to 600 mg, there’s little evidence it will result in any negative side effects. If you don’t take a full dose of the other supplement or don’t take them every day, then it can also be beneficial to take KSM-66® Ashwagandha to ensure you get a clinically effective dose.

It depends on how much ashwagandha the other supplement contains, how much you take, and how often you take it.

If you’re already getting the clinically effective dose of 600 mg, then you may not benefit from taking KSM-66® Ashwagandha.

If you aren’t getting at least 600 mg per day of ashwagandha from your other supplements, then you want to take KSM-66® Ashwagandha to get the full benefits.

For example, our performance supplement, Performance Surge, contains 600 mg of ashwagandha, so if you take a full dose every day there’s no need to take KSM-66® Ashwagandha. Most people only take Performance Surge on days they train, though, and some prefer to only take a partial dose, so in these cases you would need to take KSM-66® Ashwagandha to get the full benefits of ashwagandha supplementation.

It depends, primarily on how much ashwagandha you get from other supplements.

Most people get zero ashwagandha from their food, so any they do get is from other supplements. The clinically effective dose of ashwagandha is 100 to 600 mg per day, with 600 mg generally being superior to lower doses.

One study used a dose as high as 12,000 mg (20 times higher than what you’ll get from KSM-66® Ashwagandha!) without negative effects, but we don’t recommend this.[1] While there’s no established upper limit for ashwagandha supplementation, there’s little evidence you’ll benefit from taking more than 600 mg, and doing so increases your risk of side effects.

The most common thing we hear from customers is an improvement in mood, energy levels, sleep quality, and sense of well-being, but it’s important to remember that many of the benefits of ashwagandha aren’t things you’ll feel, but are still extremely beneficial for your health (supporting immune function, antioxidant activity, and healthy inflammation levels, for example).

What it boils down to is this:

When you assist some of the most important physiological mechanisms in the body by taking ashwagandha, just about everything runs better.

Ashwagandha is generally safe and well tolerated by most people, and side effects are rare. That said, it can cause mild drowsiness in some people.[1][2][3]

We’re not aware of any reasons it would be harmful, but check with your doctor first.

Ashwagandha may negatively interact with several medications, including diabetes, high-blood pressure, and thyroid medication, sedatives, anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, and others. If you’re taking these medications or any others, talk to your doctor before supplementing with ashwagandha.[1]

Our products include a Proposition 65 warning in compliance with California’s regulatory guidelines, which are among the most stringent and sweeping in the world.

A Proposition 65 warning does not indicate whether a product is safe or unsafe. Rather, Proposition 65 is a consumer notification law in California that requires warnings to inform consumers about the presence of one or more of over 900 substances in various types of products. These substances include naturally occurring and ubiquitous compounds, even when present at levels below those known to cause harm.
