Certifiably the Best: KSM-66 Ashwagandha Root Extract Reigns Supreme in Quality, Safety and Efficacy
The meteoric rise of Ashwagandha supplements has sparked captivating growth, accompanied by intensified demand and competition that poses a challenge for companies aiming to stand out.
In today's era of supplements, the importance of evidence and validation extends beyond therapeutic claims and scientific research—it encompasses the assessment of product quality. Certifications serve as a reliable means to provide consumers with assurance about the quality of a product.
With 42 certifications (and counting) KSM-66® Ashwagandha root extract stands as the indisputable leader in quality. There is no other botanical ingredient in the market that can rival this extensive array of independent, third-party verifications.
Why we at KSM-66 are fanatical about certifications?
It's simple. We strive to establish the highest standards for quality and meticulous attention to detail. This commitment is our self-imposed benchmark. Moreover, there are numerous reasons why certifications hold immense importance:
- The market is flooded with thousands of ingredients from countless companies, including third-party brokers. Many raw materials are not regulated by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, meaning there is no requirement for approval from any regulatory body across the globe.
- Each day, a vast number of ingredients are imported into the US. It's extremely difficult for finished product brands or marketing companies to audit their suppliers in these foreign countries. This process is expensive, resource-intensive, requires expertise, and is time-consuming.
- Practically, federal agencies like the FDA cannot inspect, approve, and certify every manufacturing unit producing these ingredients, along with certifying the products themselves.
When quality control is evident, it provides tangible proof of transparency.
Quality control begins at the level of ingredient supply, starting from the fields where the raw materials are cultivated and processed. It extends beyond that and encompasses ongoing communication to ensure a seamless manufacturing partnership, thereby ensuring the highest standards of quality control are maintained throughout the entire process.
Essentially, the measure of quality control lies in the certifications acquired by the supplier. And this is where independent and reputable third-party agencies play a crucial role.
Third-party certifications usually focus on auditing the production and quality control process; testing to verify label claims or check for environmental contaminants; or specialty options that focus on things like gluten, non-GMO, organic, or protection against prohibited substances, or other unwanted agents. Some certification bodies focus broadly on multiple areas while others may focus on one area only.
