KSM-66 Ashwagandha for Skin and Hair Health
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests whether KSM-66 Ashwagandha, a natural supplement, can improve hair and skin health. Researchers aim to determine if the supplement can help manage hair loss and skin issues often caused by stress. The trial includes two groups: one taking Ashwagandha capsules and another taking placebo capsules. Ideal participants are those experiencing mild to moderate hair loss, who have not changed their hair or skin routine in the past three months, and are willing to maintain their current routine throughout the study. As an unphased trial, this study provides an opportunity to explore the potential benefits of a natural supplement for hair and skin health.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
Yes, you will need to stop taking any medications, including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, and minerals, before and during the study.
Is there any evidence suggesting that KSM-66 Ashwagandha® is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that KSM-66 Ashwagandha® is generally safe. People taking Ashwagandha typically experience only mild side effects, similar to those of a placebo. Importantly, these studies have found no serious side effects.
Ashwagandha's long history in traditional medicine further supports its safety. However, while it is considered safe for up to three months, little is known about its long-term effects. This suggests it might be safe for short-term use, but more research is needed to understand its effects over longer periods.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
KSM-66 Ashwagandha® is unique because it harnesses the power of a natural herb, ashwagandha, known for its adaptogenic properties, which help the body manage stress. Most treatments for skin and hair health focus on topical applications or supplements that target specific deficiencies. However, KSM-66 Ashwagandha® works differently by potentially improving overall well-being and reducing stress, which can indirectly benefit skin and hair health. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it offers a holistic approach, possibly addressing the root causes of skin and hair issues rather than just the symptoms.
What evidence suggests that KSM-66 Ashwagandha® might be an effective treatment for hair and skin health?
Studies have shown that KSM-66 Ashwagandha, which participants in this trial may receive, can improve hair and skin health. Research suggests that Ashwagandha may lower stress and cortisol levels, potentially preventing inflammation that leads to hair loss. In one study, people using Ashwagandha experienced noticeably less hair shedding. The extract also contains antioxidants and amino acids that might strengthen hair and reduce breakage. Additionally, Ashwagandha may enhance skin health by boosting its glow and vitality. These findings suggest that Ashwagandha could be a promising natural choice for improving hair and skin wellness.12678
