First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a daily 300 mg capsule of KSM-66 Ashwagandha, an herbal supplement, can improve skin and hair health in 50 healthy adults over 12 weeks. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo, and neither they nor the researchers know who gets what. The goal is to see if reducing stress with ashwagandha leads to measurable improvements in skin moisture and hair density.
