Difference between KSM-66 and Ashwagandha Extract Powder?
Original post in this thread

What is the difference between the KSM-66 Ashwagandha and the Ashwagandha Extract Powder? It appears both have the same 4-5% Withanolides. From my understanding KSM-66 tries to maintain the same ratios as regular Ashwagandha....so how are these different (besides a large difference in price)? Thanks for your help!

It is, just for a different effect. Astiatic acid and madecassic acid have their own effects, but different than their glycoside forms. We wanted to give people both options. Nobody else was offering a potent extract that was enteric coated to deliver the glycoside forms intact to the body.

Asiaticoside has more evidence for its anxiolytic actions, whereas astiatic acid has more for hepato/neuroprotection. Both forms have collagen increasing effects, but asiaticoside seems to be more potent.
