BioTech USA Ashwa Candy is a food supplement containing KSM-66® ashwagandha root extract in the form of strawberry-flavoured chewable tablets. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) belongs to traditional Indian Ayurveda and is known as an adaptogenic plant, traditionally used during periods of increased physical or mental strain. One daily dose (2 tablets) contains 250 mg of extract and 12.5 mg of withanolides. The supplement does not replace a varied diet or a balanced lifestyle.

The recommended daily dose is 2 chewable tablets after a meal. Chew the tablets thoroughly; there is no need to take them with water. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

The manufacturer recommends taking 2 chewable tablets daily after a meal and notes that you can incorporate them into your morning or evening routine. There is no specified time of day; the important thing is to take the daily dose of 2 tablets and not exceed it. Chew the tablets thoroughly. As they do not require water, you can easily include them in your daily routine, no matter where you are.

KSM-66® is a branded, standardised ashwagandha extract produced exclusively from the roots of the Withania somnifera plant. Some other extracts may use other parts of the plant. The extract in this product is standardised to 5% withanolides, providing 12.5 mg of withanolides in a 250 mg daily dose of extract. The manufacturing process aims to preserve the plant's natural complex of root components.

The pack contains 90 chewable tablets, which provides 45 daily servings. One serving is 2 tablets, providing 250 mg of KSM-66® extract and 12.5 mg of withanolides.

It contains sucralose as a sweetener. The bulking agent is isomalt, which is the main ingredient of the tablets. The strawberry taste is enhanced by real strawberry powder, which makes up 3.6% of the composition, along with flavourings and citric acid. The red colour is provided by a colouring concentrate with beetroot and maltodextrin. The full list of ingredients can be found on the product label.

Ashwa Candy comes in a Strawberry Twist flavour, which combines a fruity taste with real strawberry powder (3.6% of the composition). The tablets are chewable, so they are taken without water and do not need to be swallowed like capsules. The taste is rounded off by flavourings, citric acid, and the sweetener sucralose. This product is designed for those who dislike swallowing capsules or conventional tablets.

The difference lies primarily in the form of consumption. Ashwa Candy chewable tablets do not need to be swallowed or taken with water and have a strawberry flavour, making them practical for travel or work. Capsules are more suitable for those who do not want to taste the product. When comparing products, primarily focus on the extract content per serving, standardisation of withanolides, and the part of the plant used. Here, you get 250 mg of KSM-66® from the root with 5% withanolides in 2 tablets.

When comparing, look at four details: the amount of extract in the daily dose, the percentage of withanolides, the part of the plant used, and the price per serving. Ashwa Candy contains 250 mg of KSM-66® extract in 2 tablets, standardised to 5% withanolides (12.5 mg), sourced only from the root. The pack provides 45 servings. There may also be differences in form, such as chewable tablets with strawberry flavour instead of capsules.

The available product information does not list any specific side effects. It is important to follow the recommended dose of 2 tablets daily after a meal and not to exceed it. This food supplement does not replace a varied diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have health problems, consult your doctor before use. Discontinue use if you experience any unusual reactions. Store the product out of reach of small children.

Product information does not provide a specific timeframe for results, and Ashwa Candy is a food supplement, not a medicine. Ashwagandha has traditionally been used in Ayurveda over the long term as part of a daily routine. Therefore, take it regularly at the recommended dose of 2 tablets daily after a meal. One pack provides 45 servings. Individual responses may vary.

The nutrition table lists KSM-66® extract (250 mg per serving, of which 12.5 mg are withanolides) as the only active ingredient, with no added vitamins or minerals. When combining with other supplements, check their composition to ensure you are not consuming ashwagandha from multiple sources at once and exceeding the recommended daily dose. If you are taking medication or have health conditions, consult a doctor or pharmacist before combining supplements.
