Introduction
Ashwagandha ( Withania somnifera ) is a plant with a thousand-year-old tradition, used in Ayurvedic medicine for stress management, vitality, and general well-being. Modern research provides multifaceted evidence that ashwagandha can support various physiological effects: it reduces stress and cortisol levels, improves sleep quality and cognitive function, helps build muscle, supports the hormonal system, etc.
One of the key strengths of vSherpa KSM-66 Ashwagandha ® + Magnesium is that it contains KSM-66 ® ashwagandha extract — the most extensively researched, whole root extract, and considered one of the best forms currently on the market.
In this article, we will review why KSM-66 is so outstanding, what research supports its benefits, and why the vSherpa product may be the best choice for Hungarian customers.
What is KSM-66®?
- KSM-66 is a whole root, standardized ashwagandha extract (root extract), manufactured by Ixoreal Biomed.
- One of the main advantages is that no leaves are used : only the root is used to obtain the active ingredients, resulting in a more consistent effect and better tolerance. Although there are many different extracts (leaves, mixtures) in the scientific literature, the root extract has many traditions and benefits.
- The production process is strictly regulated: traceability, quality control, and sustainability are also part of the production.

Why is the vSherpa + Magnesium composition beneficial?
Magnesium Bisglycinate : Magnesium is important on its own for nerve and muscle function, sleep regulation, stress management, and general well-being. The effects of ashwagandha – e.g. muscle regeneration, improved sleep quality – are often closely linked to magnesium status. In a combination formula, magnesium may be an advantage as it supports the biochemical pathways through which ashwagandha works.
Many products on the Hungarian market contain some kind of ashwagandha extract, but it doesn't matter what type, what standardization, what clinical background is behind it . KSM-66 stands out in this field: with many well-designed studies, published data, and human clinical trials.
Why is this the best choice in Hungary?
Summarizing everything so far, the following arguments support the claim that vSherpa KSM-66 Ashwagandha + Magnesium is currently one of the best choices:

How much ashwagandha should you take?
KSM-66 ashwagandha has been studied in dozens of clinical trials worldwide, with researchers typically working with doses of 500–600 mg per day . In these studies, it was used safely and effectively, and participants experienced significant improvements in stress management, sleep quality, and performance.
However, it is important to know that in Hungary, according to the legislation, the officially recommended daily dose for dietary supplements is 250 mg . Therefore, the vSherpa KSM-66 Ashwagandha + Magnesium capsule contains exactly this amount - thus fully complying with domestic regulations.
So if you are looking for the amounts that most scientific studies have used, you can find the relevant data in the literature. We recommend one capsule per day, following the official rules - the rest is up to you, according to your own needs and goals.
Summary
According to current science, KSM-66 ashwagandha is one of the best documented and most reliable forms of ashwagandha in the world. In the case of vSherpa KSM-66 Ashwagandha + Magnesium, the inclusion of this ingredient, plus the support of magnesium, provides a safe, broad-spectrum, well-tolerated formula.
In Hungary, where there are many similar supplements, but not all of them have such a strong scientific background, the use of KSM-66 , the proper dosage and quality are an advantage that sets it apart from the competition. Therefore, it can be safely said that the vSherpa product is one of the best choices.
