Flagship Ayurvedic medicine Ashwagandha is the flagship of Ayurvedic medicine
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera Dunal) is the mainstay of Ayurveda, traditional medicine in India. The herb has been known in Indian medicine for centuries. However, due to the publication of a number of clinical studies that support the effects of ashwagandha, the root-based extract is now receiving worldwide attention.

Renowned extract Use of the renowned KSM-66® extract
KSM-66® uses exclusively the roots of the ashwagandha plant for its extract, without adding leaves. Many producers choose to include leaves in their extract, as these are only a fraction of the cost of the roots, about one fifteenth. In addition to the fact that Ayurveda has been using the root for oral consumption for years, scientific research also shows that the health-promoting effects are mainly attributable to the root. And not on the leaves of Withania somnifera Dunal, as the ashwagandha plant is officially called. Scientific findings that are also easy to explain. The roots simply have a much higher content of active substances than the leaves.

Highly concentrated extract Highest concentrated full-spectrum extract worldwide
KSM-66®, produced under the Ixoreal banner, is the product of more than fourteen years of research and innovation. This means that KSM-66 can call itself the best ashwagandha product on the world market. A nice statement, but one that needs to be substantiated. The nutrient of Ixoreal is the highest concentrated full spectrum extract available worldwide. We define a full spectrum extract as an extract in which all components of the original herb are equally present, without the overrepresentation of any of the active substances. We attribute the effect of ashwagandha to a complex of active substances represented in the plant. All components must be present in their natural proportion for optimal effect, making it important to include a full spectrum extract in the final product.

Natural extraction process Natural extraction process through traditional milk treatment
The KSM-66 extraction process is carried out using a pre-treatment with milk. That is why the Ixoreal showpiece also contains traces of lactose. The use of dairy in the extraction process dates back to original Ayurvedic medicine. The pre-treatment with milk is important for a proportional extraction of hydrophilic and lipophilic components from the raw carrot, which in turn leads to a full spectrum extract with such a high potency. By using the white dairy drink, instead of alcohol or other substances, we can speak of a natural extraction process.

Bioperine for better absorption Addition of Bioperine® for better absorption
BioPerine® (95-98% piperine) is an extract obtained from the black pepper fruit. Piper Nigrum, the name given to the plant from which black pepper comes, is grown in the moist, nutrient-rich soil regions of South India. Sabinsa, the company that has BioPerine® in its range, ensures that farmers the delicate pepper berries are harvested just before ripening. The farmers then dry the berries in the sun, so we can guarantee optimal quality.

BioPerine® is the only piperine extract that has patented status. The high-quality nutrient has obtained this status by acquiring the characteristics of pure, safe and effective, through a number of clinical tests. Bioperine® has been added to Ashwagandha KSM 66®, because it ensures better absorption of ashwagandha.
