Ashwagandha reduces cortisol from the top down, acting on the HPA axis. Magnesium works from the bottom up, restoring the nervous system minerals that stress depletes. Together they address both the trigger and the cascade.
This pair requires two separate supplements. Both are needed for the synergy to work.
KSM-66 is the most clinically studied ashwagandha extract. Suppresses HPA axis overactivation to reduce cortisol levels. Benefits accumulate over 4-8 weeks of consistent use.

Coming soonHow to take this pair: Take 300-600 mg KSM-66 ashwagandha in the morning with food (or evening if using Sensoril extract). Take 200-400 mg magnesium glycinate in the evening, 1-2 hours before bed. Both should be taken with food to maximize absorption and minimize GI effects. Ashwagandha may interact with thyroid medications and is not recommended during pregnancy.
