KSM-66 vs Sensoril? (or both?)
Original post in this thread

I've tried searching past posts for comparisons but couldn't find any direct comparisons. I'm interested to hear from people who have personally tried both. In general, ksm seems to be slightly more stimulating, sensoril slightly more sedating. Is it be possible to get both benefits by taking ksm66 in the morning and sensoril in the evening?

It is because of the specific withanolides they standardize to. There are over 30 of them in ashwgandha, but the USP monograph only looks at 8 of them. Both KSM-66 and Sensoril are standardizing to different ones. That's how you get different effects. I wrote a big comment about it on /r/NootropicsDepot.

That was in response to the Consumer Lab results showing it failed testing. That's because Consumer Lab was using the USP monograph, which only looks at 8 of them.
