Argalys — Ashwagandha KSM-66® + Magnesium & L-Tryptophan · Stress & Sleep

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an adaptogenic plant used in Ayurvedic medicine. The KSM-66® extract used here is one of the most well-documented: several published randomized clinical trials (Chandrasekhar 2012, Choudhary 2017) have studied its effect on serum cortisol and perceived stress scores in healthy adults subjected to chronic stress. This data concerns the KSM-66® ingredient, not this specific finished product. Please note: ashwagandha and L-tryptophan have no authorized European health claims. The recognized benefits of this formula are based on magnesium and vitamins B5, B6, and C (nervous system function, psychological functions, reduction of fatigue). This product has important contraindications that must be known. Ashwagandha can increase thyroid hormone levels (T3, T4) — contraindicated in thyroid disease, especially hyperthyroidism. It has documented androgenic properties — contraindicated in cases of hyperandrogenism. Cases of liver toxicity have been reported in the literature — use with caution in cases of liver disease. Its documented uterotonic activity formally contraindicates it during pregnancy. Finally, the association with sedative treatments (benzodiazepines, sedative antihistamines) may be potentiated by L-tryptophan. The ashwagandha dose (300 mg titrated to 5% withanolides, or 15 mg of withanolides per capsule) is within the range of clinical studies. It is an adaptogen: its action is gradual over several weeks, with no immediate effect — a minimum 30-day course is recommended.
