Our "No Return Necessary"
Money-Back Guarantee

If you don’t like something of ours, guess what happens next?

No, we don’t request you deliver it to a PO box in the Gobi Desert by carrier pigeon. Nor do we ask you to fill a cursed inkwell with orc’s blood and demon saliva and then use it to complete reams of return forms written in ancient Cyrillic script.

We just . . . wait for it . . . give you your money back. Holy moo cows. And that means you can say "yes" now and decide later.

Can KSM-66® ashwagandha root extract banish stress, abolish fatigue, and eliminate anxiety?

No.

Can it supercharge libido, burn body fat, and boost testosterone levels?

Absolutely not.

But can it enhance cognitive function, mood, and athletic performance and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress?

Yes. Or your money back

And how does KSM-66® ashwagandha root extract do these things?

It contains naturally-occurring bioactive compounds known as adaptogens, which support various systems in the body related to physical, environmental, and emotional resilience, including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.[1][2]

The HPA axis regulates how your body responds to stress, affecting strength, power, endurance, recovery, immune function, cognition, mood, sleep, fertility, and more. Even a slight disturbance in your body’s HPA axis can impair any and all of these crucial functions.

Thus, when you take an adaptogen supplement that can aid the HPA axis like KSM-66® ashwagandha extract, your body and mind can better deal with stress.

Legion KSM-66® Ashwagandha Ingredient (600 milligrams per serving)

KSM-66® Ashwagandha Extract (600 milligrams per serving)

Ashwagandha root extract is an herb that’s been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It’s derived from the ashwagandha plant, also known as Withania somnifera, which grows throughout India, Africa, and the Middle East.

KSM-66® ashwagandha extract is a patented form of ashwagandha that’s standardized to contain 5% withanolides, the bioactive compounds in the plant thought to be responsible for most of its benefits.

Although all ashwagandha supplements contain some withanolides, their concentration can range from 1% to over 35% depending on how the plants are grown, processed, stored, and other factors.[7][8] Therefore, if an ashwagandha supplement doesn’t specify its withanolide concentration, it may contain too little (ineffective dose) or too much (extreme dose).

What’s more, the source of withanolides matters as well. While KSM-66® is made only from the root of the ashwagandha plant, many manufacturers cut corners by using leaves of the plant instead. While there isn’t direct evidence this is harmful, most scientific research on ashwagandha has studied the effects of consuming the root, not the leaves.

All this is why KSM-66® is considered the gold standard for ashwagandha root extract, and particularly for use in scientific research on the plant—KSM-66® has been tested in 24 clinical trials, more than any other type of ashwagandha supplement.[9]

Research shows that supplementation with KSM-66® ashwagandha root extract . . .

The clinically effective dose of KSM-66® ashwagandha root extract is between 100 and 600 milligrams, though most research shows 600 milligrams is superior to lower doses.

No Artificial Food Dyes, Fillers, or Other Unnecessary Junk

Artificial food dyes aren’t a hazard per se, but studies show they can cause negative effects in some people, including gastrointestinal toxicity and behavioral disorders.[29][30][31][32][33]

No Artificial Food Dyes, Fillers, or Other Unnecessary Junk
