How are we different?
Our ashwagandha gummies each contain 100mg ashwagandha extract KSM-66®. At 5%, this high-quality extract provides the highest naturally achievable withanolide content, providing the full spectrum of withanolides from the roots in their natural ratio. In contrast to many extracts, our KSM-66® extract is obtained completely without ethanol or other solvents.
Our vegan Ashwagandha KSM-66® Gummies are based on valuable fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), a group of dietary fibres which are obtained from the natural inulin found in chicory root. They are characterised by their mild sweetness and are associated with a range of positive properties. Among other things, they serve as a high-quality food source for lacto- and bifidobacteria in the gut and have a comparatively low glycemic index, which is beneficial for blood sugar stability. Unlike many vitamin gummies, ours are produced completely without artificial sweeteners or additional sugar substitutes.
The production process for gummies requires gelling agents that guarantee a good texture, as well as coating agents that prevent the gummies from sticking together. We use purely plant-based gelling agents and completely avoid animal gelatine, which is often obtained from low-quality slaughterhouse waste, and modified starches. The gelling and stabilising agents we use are obtained from lemon peel (pectin), red algae (agar) and the root tubers of the cassava plant (tapioca starch). We use carnauba wax as a coating agent, making our gummies 100% vegan. Citric acid is often used as an acidity regulator, which is usually obtained with the help of moulds and genetically modified microorganisms; the use of phosphate compounds such as tricalcium phosphate is also common. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and citrate compounds (such as sodium citrate) are better alternatives for these ingredients, which are used in our vitamin gummies.
Our ashwagandha KSM-66® gummies are characterised by a naturally fruity blackcurrant flavour. They are also gluten- and soya-free.
We use light-protected and environmentally friendly amber glass instead of plastic for the packaging.
Effects
Fructo-Oligosaccharides (FOS)
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOSs) belong to the group of dietary fibres and are made up of short chains of sugar molecules. They occur naturally in various plant foods such as onions, bananas and chicory. FOSs are associated with many positive properties and can act as a food source for intestinal bacteria.
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a plant from the nightshade family. The name comes from Sanskrit and roughly translates as "smell of horse," as the roots have a strong scent that is reminiscent of horses. The term "somnifera" comes from Latin and can be translated as "sleep inducing" (somnus = sleep, ferre = to bring), hence its nickname as the "sleeping berry." In this formula, the roots and leaves of the ashwagandha plant are used and not the berry, which is poisonous in large quantities due to its alkaloid content and has a very bitter taste. The roots and leaves contain withanolides, the most widely studied phytochemicals in ashwagandha. These belong to the group of steroidal lactones and are similar to steroid hormones in their chemical structure.
