Goli Ashwagandha vs Zero Sugar Ashwagandha+: same extract, half the gummies, no sugar
Both use KSM-66. The original lists 150 mg and 2 g of sugar per gummy. Zero Sugar Ashwagandha+ lists 150 mg per gummy with no sugar, plus a 10 mg blend of L-theanine and maca.
Goli’s two ashwagandha gummies use the same branded extract, KSM-66, at the same amount per gummy. They differ in sugar, in vitamin D per gummy and in two extra ingredients on the newer label.
Both columns come from the Supplement Facts information on Goli’s own pages, read in October 2026. We earn a commission if you buy either through our links. We have not tasted or lab-tested them.

What is actually different
Sugar
At the original’s suggested four gummies a day, the sugar is 8 g. The zero sugar version has none at any number of gummies. That was the main reason our review of the original gave a verdict of “depends”.
The ashwagandha is the same
Both list 150 mg of KSM-66 per gummy. A 2019 trial compared 250 mg and 600 mg a day of this extract with placebo for eight weeks. Both lowered stress scores, and the higher dose did more. Two gummies of either product give 300 mg and four give 600 mg. See KSM-66 vs Sensoril vs Shoden.
The “+” ingredients
Zero Sugar Ashwagandha+ adds L-theanine and maca root in a 10 mg proprietary blend. Neither can be more than 10 mg. Trials of L-theanine used 200 mg to 400 mg a day. These additions do not change the comparison in any practical way. See L-theanine for stress.
Vitamin D
The amount is the same per gummy: 12.5 mcg. At four gummies a day of either, that is 50 mcg, half of the adult upper limit of 100 mcg. Add it to any other vitamin D you take. See taking several gummies in one day.
Fiber
The zero sugar gummy is built on soluble tapioca fiber and fructooligosaccharides, with 3 g of fiber per two gummies. Fructooligosaccharides cause gas in some people.
Which label fits which person
- You are limiting sugar: Zero Sugar Ashwagandha+.
- Added fiber or stevia does not agree with you: the original.
- You are choosing for the L-theanine or maca: the amounts are too small to choose on.
- You want 600 mg of KSM-66 a day: four gummies of either. Do not exceed what your bottle directs.
Who should skip both
The cautions are identical because the active ingredient is. Ashwagandha should be avoided in pregnancy and while breastfeeding. People with thyroid or autoimmune conditions or liver disease, and people taking thyroid, diabetes, blood pressure, sedative or immunosuppressant medication, need medical advice first. See who should not take ashwagandha. Both are for adults.
Ashwagandha needs daily use for about eight weeks before it can be judged. See how long ashwagandha takes to work.

Common questions
Do both use KSM-66?

Which has less sugar?
Zero Sugar Ashwagandha+ lists 0 g. The original lists 2 g per gummy.
