Summary
This study is designed to evaluate the effects of KSM-66 Ashwagandha root extract (300 mg daily) on weight management and stress reduction in overweight and obese adults. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a traditional herbal supplement that may help reduce stress and support overall health. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, participants will receive either Ashwagandha extract or a placebo for the study duration. The main goal is to measure changes in body weight and stress levels. Other health outcomes, such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and quality of life, will also be assessed. The study will help determine whether Ashwagandha is effective and safe for managing stress and supporting weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity.
