Ashwagandha comes in several forms, each with distinct characteristics:
- Root Extract: Most studied form, typically standardized to 2.5-5% withanolides
- Full-Spectrum Extract: Contains all beneficial compounds from the plant
- KSM-66®: Patented form with clinical research showing high effectiveness
- Powder: Raw root powder, less concentrated but more traditional
Root extracts are generally recommended for their consistent potency and better absorption. Look for products standardized to withanolides (the active compounds) and third-party tested for quality. The most effective forms typically contain 300-600mg of root extract per serving.
