How it works

Contains withanolides that modulate cortisol and HPA axis stress response. Triethylene glycol in the leaf extract has direct sleep-inducing properties.

Autoimmune conditions: consult a doctor first. Can cause GI upset in some people. Monitor thyroid levels if on thyroid medication.

Why moderate evidence

A 2019 RCT using KSM-66 extract showed significant improvements in sleep quality, sleep onset latency, and sleep efficiency versus placebo.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
