Explore the newly proven pet health benefits of ashwagandha, as confirmed by three scientific studies featuring KSM-66 Ashwagandha.
Ashwagandha is a millennia-old staple in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, celebrated for its powerful adaptogenic and healing properties. Today, modern science is confirming additional human and pet health benefits of ashwagandha. Past studies have demonstrated its efficacy at managing stress and anxiety in dogs, cats, and horses, and new research shows it also has benefits for brain, skin, and coat health. Let’s examine what the research says about the additional ways ashwagandha, specifically KSM-66 Ashwagandha, supports pet health.
New Study Demonstrates Ashwagandha’s Benefits for Brain Health
A recent canine study has shown promising results for the benefits ashwagandha can have for canine brain health, cognition, and the ability to reduce symptoms of canine dementia. Dogs supplemented with KSM-66 Ashwagandha experienced significant improvements in:
- Serotonin and dopamine levels
- Nerve growth factor
- Canine dementia scale scores for sleep, anxiety, and disorientation
Separate Studies Confirm Ashwagandha’s Skin Health Benefits for Dogs and Cats
Two additional studies explored the impact of KSM-66 Ashwagandha on skin and coat health in both dogs and cats. They found it can help pets struggling with dry skin, shedding, or lackluster coats. Researchers found significant increases in:
- Skin hydration and elasticity
- Moisture retention
- Fur thickness and growth
KSM-66 Ashwagandha: Driving the Science that Explores the Pet Health Benefits of Ashwagandha
KSM-66 Ashwagandha is a premium, root-only extract known for its quality, purity, and efficacy. Backed by 46 safety and quality certifications, KSM-66 Ashwagandha is the most clinically studied ashwagandha available. It’s also the safest and the only one clinically proven for pets. Along with the three recent studies, five more published studies have demonstrated the pet health benefits of ashwagandha from KSM-66, which include:
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Improving gut and immune health
- Supporting cognitive function and longevity
“The scientific research being done using KSM-66 Ashwagandha proves what healers have known for thousands of years” says Kartikeya Baldwa, CEO of Ixoreal Biomed, manufacturer of KSM-66 Ashwagandha. “Ashwagandha is a natural adaptogenic herb that supports health in humans, and now we’re seeing it does the same for dogs, cats, and horses. It’s important for pet parents to know there is efficacy behind this root-only extract when they’re buying it for their animals. There’s a reason it’s known as the “king of herbs!”
KSM-66 Ashwagandha is also great for pets because of its neutral taste, which makes it an ideal addition to pet food, treats, and supplements.
