Effects of KSM-66 Ashwagandha® (300 mg) on Skin and Hair Health in Healthy Men and Women"
NCT07215689 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Hair and skin play major roles in protecting the body, and maintaining their health is essential. Poor hair and skin health have become increasingly common due to the stress associated with modern lifestyles. Effective and time-efficient treatments for hair and skin health remain limited. Although hair loss, baldness, and skin issues are not life-threatening, managing these conditions is important because of the psychological and social complications-such as anxiety and depression-they can cause. There is an unmet need for therapies that provide safe and long-term improvements in hair and skin health. Many individuals seek Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) to identify natural and effective options for these conditions. Adaptogens such as Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) have long been studied for their potential to reduce stress and modulate cortisol levels in the body. Reducing stress may help prevent inflammation, a common contributor to hair shedding and loss. Ashwagandha also contains antioxidants and amino acids that may strengthen the hair and minimize breakage. Traditionally, Ashwagandha has been recognized for its multiple health benefits, including support for hair and skin wellness. However, there remains limited scientific evidence to substantiate these traditional claims, underscoring the need for controlled clinical evaluation.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07215689
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07215689 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is SF Research Institute, which has 7 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Skin Health appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo Capsule(s) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07215689 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
