How to Prepare Ashwagandha Extract KSM-66

Capsules (Powdered Herb)Moderate · 30-60 minutes per batch

Equipment

Herb grinder or pre-powdered herb, Empty vegetarian capsules (size 00 or 0), Capsule filling machine (optional but recommended), Small bowl, Scale (optional for precision)

Instructions

1If using whole dried herb, grind to a fine powder using a dedicated herb grinder.
2Pour the powdered herb into a small bowl or capsule filling tray.
3Separate the capsule halves. Fill the larger half with powder, tapping to pack gently.
4Press the smaller half onto the larger half to seal.
5A size 00 capsule holds approximately 500-700mg of powdered herb.
6Standard dosing varies by herb — typically 1-3 capsules, 2-3 times daily with food.

Tips

• A capsule filling machine makes the process much faster and more consistent.
• Pre-powdered herbs from reputable suppliers save significant effort.
• Store finished capsules in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.

Capsules bypass taste, which can be important — bitter taste stimulates digestion. For digestive herbs, teas or tinctures may be more effective. Always follow recommended dosing.

Store in airtight containers away from moisture. Use within 6-12 months for best potency.
