KSM-66 Ashwagandha™
Origin
KSM-66 is produced by Ixoreal Biomed; confirm the supply chain in writing before publishing a country of origin
Why this form
A branded, standardised root extract rather than a generic ashwagandha powder. Standardised to 5% withanolides, so every batch contains the same amount of the constituent the extract is measured by.
Testing
third-party batch COA; name the laboratory
Lion's Mane
Why this form
Standardised to 30% polysaccharides. Many extracts on the market are standardised far lower, or are mycelium grown on grain rather than the mushroom itself.
Rhodiola Rosea
Why this form
Standardised to both marker compounds rather than rosavins alone. Extracts standardised to a single marker are cheaper to produce.
Bioperine™
Origin
Bioperine is produced by Sabinsa
Why this form
A branded black pepper extract standardised to 95% piperine, included as an absorption aid for the other actives.
L-Theanine
Why this form
A single standardised dose of the free-form amino acid.
Zinc
Why this form
Zinc chelated to the amino acid glycine, rather than zinc oxide. The chelated form is the more expensive of the two.
Vitamin B6
Why this form
P5P is the active form of B6. Pyridoxine hydrochloride is the cheaper and more common alternative.
Vitamin B12
Why this form
Methylcobalamin rather than cyanocobalamin, which is the cheaper and more widely used form.
