Health Canada Approves Functional Claims for KSM-66 Ashwagandha

By: Lisa Olivo

Ixoreal Biomed, Los Angeles, CA, has been granted approval for a broad range of functional claims for its KSM-66 ashwagandha by Health Canada.
 
Under Health Canada’s NPN (Natural Product Number) 80047973, formulators can make the following end-product claims using KSM-66 at the clinically-relevant dosage: “Helps increase resistance to stress/anxiety in individuals with a history of chronic stress, thereby improving their overall quality of life;” “Athletic support or Workout/Exercise supplement;” and “Helps promote healthy testosterone production in males.”

Because KSM-66 uses only the root and no other part of the ashwagandha plant, and because Health Canada’s own ashwagandha monograph similarly specifies only the root, these claims are over and above what is available to formulators who reference the generic Health Canada ashwagandha monograph, said the company.
