Transparency Index

7.8/10

Hohe Produkttransparenz Solid KSM-66 product at the studied dose. Honest labelling, good price per day. Absence of third-party certification is the main weakness.

Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 7.0/10

Multiple RCTs support ashwagandha for stress and sleep. Evidence level 2 (single RCTs, small samples). No approved EFSA claims.

Value for money 8.0/10

At €0.50/day for the clinically studied dose, pricing is competitive for a standardised KSM-66 extract.

Product quality 8.0/10

Uses genuine KSM-66 (verified withanolide content). Capsule formulation, no unnecessary fillers.

Label honesty 9.0/10

Label accurately states extract type (KSM-66), dose per capsule, and withanolide standardisation. No unsubstantiated health claims.

Third-party testing 6.0/10

Certificate of analysis available on request but no independent third-party certification (Informed Sport, NSF, etc.).

Review

iXora’s KSM-66 Ashwagandha delivers 600 mg of standardised root extract per day across two capsules. The dose aligns with the most-cited RCTs. The product avoids proprietary blends and inflated serving sizes, which earns marks for label honesty.

What we like

  • Uses authentic KSM-66 (standardised to ≥5% withanolides) — the extract used in the majority of stress and sleep RCTs
  • 600 mg/day matches the clinically studied range
  • Clean capsule: no artificial colours, unnecessary additives, or proprietary blends
  • Transparent labelling with milligram amounts clearly stated

What could be better

  • No independent third-party certification (Informed Sport, NSF, USP)
  • CoA available on request only, not proactively published

Verdict

For consumers looking for a no-frills ashwagandha supplement at the studied dose, this product delivers. We recommend it with the caveat that third-party testing transparency could be improved.

Ingredient dossier

Ashwagandha is an Ayurvedic adaptogen backed by multiple RCTs for stress and cortisol reduction. Sleep and testosterone effects are promising but come from small studies.
