100% Root
KSM-66® is made exclusively from a careful selection of the largest roots of Withania somnifera. This process is back by the knowledge, following quality research, that these are the most desirable parts of the plant.
Neither leaves nor smaller parts of the roots are used.
The entire cultivation and harvesting process is carried out in the Indian state of Rajasthan, which boasts an optimal climate and arid soil conditions for cultivating the best quality authentic Indian Ginseng.
14 years of research
The development of KSM-66® has required no less than 14 years of research and development to refine the patented process that Ixoreal uses to obtain its acclaimed raw material.
The extract, despite being standardised to 5% withanolides, is considered 'full-spectrum'.
Ixoreal explains that the 'full-spectrum extract' is perfect, as the majority of scientific research is conducted on ashwagandha roots that have a balance of the plant's characteristic chemical constituents. Obtaining an extract with an extremely high % of withanolides may, according to the manufacturer, lead to a loss of balance in its substances.
The KSM-66® extraction process is based on 'green chemistry', as its patented extraction procedure is carried out with the use of chemical solvents or alcohol.
Intensive research
KSM-66® is a raw material whose use is backed by a multitude of scientific studies.
Ixoreal Biomed note that no less than 22 scientific trials in humans of the highest methodological quality use KSM-66® to evaluate the effects of ashwagandha.
Without Withaferin A. Validated by HPLC
KSM-66® does not contain Withaferin A, a type of Withanolide that Ixoreal considers relevant to eliminate for reasons justified in the studies they've carried out.
The almost non-existence of Withaferin A and the 5% guaranteed Withanolide content has been verified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This is in place of the gravimetry other manufacturers use to measure the presence of constituents in the extract, as according to Ixoreal, gravimetry overestimates withanolide content by up to x3.
Certificates and awards
Ixoreal has 24 quality certificates that support its good manufacturing practices.
For its great performance, KSM-66® has received renowned innovation and quality awards from all over the world, throughout the time it's spent on the market.
