The Solgar Ultimate Calm is a dietary supplement in tablets, with 500mg extract of ashwagandha KSM-66 root and 28mg extract of saffron crocus stigma per tablet. The package contains 30 tablets and the dosage is one tablet per day, a one-month supply.
It is aimed at adults who want to incorporate into their daily routine two standardized botanical extracts with commercially protected raw material, in one single intake with food, instead of combining two separate preparations.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the best-known plants in the Ayurvedic tradition of India. In supplements, different parts of the plant and different extraction methods are used, leading to major differences between formulations. The designation KSM-66 indicates a specific, commercially protected raw material produced exclusively from the root, with aqueous extraction without alcohol. The 500mg dose per tablet refers to this standardized extract.
The second ingredient is saffron (Crocus sativus), the most expensive spice in the world, as it takes tens of thousands of flowers to collect by hand to produce one kilogram of dry product. The stigma of the flower, i.e. the red thread, is used, and the raw material also has a commercial name, affron, in a dose of 28mg per tablet. Both plants are the subject of extensive research. The related health claims for the botanicals are under evaluation by the EFSA, so here we describe what the ingredients are, where they come from and how they are standardized, without attributing specific effects.**
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, the formulation is positioned as follows:
The above formulations are attributed to the producer. Ashwagandha and saffron do not have an approved health claim from the EFSA and remain the subject of research. No claims regarding reduction of anxiety levels, stress management or contribution to the normal function of the nervous system are conveyed here, as there is no approved claim to support them for the specific ingredients.
The composition is based exclusively on two botanical extracts. It does not contain magnesium, B-complex vitamins, melatonin or other ingredients commonly found in similar formulas. This makes it transparent and allows it to be combined with other supplements without overlap of nutritional components.
The excipients are limited to microcrystalline and hydroxypropyl cellulose, extract of organic rice, cellulose gum, silicon dioxide and tablet coating. An important note for the label: the producer's statement indicates that the product does not contain salt, starch, gluten, wheat, soy, preservatives, sweeteners, artificial colors or fragrances, but contains milk. Those with milk allergy or lactose intolerance should take this into account.
It suits adults who already know ashwagandha and want specific, standardized raw material with a declared dose of 500mg. It suits those interested in saffron as a supplement and not just as a culinary spice. It suits those who prefer one tablet a day instead of multiple doses, and those who want a purely botanical formula without vitamins and minerals.
The product is a dietary supplement and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Prolonged stress or symptoms affecting daily life need evaluation by a doctor. It is not suitable for those with milk allergy.
