How it works
Withanolides modulate the HPA axis and reduce cortisol production. May also enhance GABA-ergic signalling in the limbic system.
Not for pregnancy or autoimmune conditions without medical supervision. Can cause GI upset. May have mild sedative effects — use with caution when driving.
Multiple RCTs using KSM-66 extract show significant anxiety and cortisol reduction versus placebo. Effect size is moderate. Not a replacement for therapy in severe anxiety.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
