What makes Ashwagandha Shoden so special?
Our premium capsules are not just any ordinary supplement. With 35% withanolide glycosides, Ashwagandha Shoden delivers 7 times the concentration of active ingredients compared to conventional adaptogen products with only 5% withanolides.
The scientific difference: While other manufacturers rely on KSM-66 or standard variants, we use the patented Shoden active ingredient from a trusted supplier - the only raw material with clinically proven superiority in randomized, controlled trials.
Ashwagandha Shoden vs. conventional adaptogen capsules:
- 35% withanolide glycosides (vs. 5% for standard tablets)
- 40:1 concentration for maximum bioavailability
- Patented full spectrum active ingredient from roots AND leaves
- Clinical studies conducted with this exact shoden raw material
What makes the adaptogen so unique? The answer lies in the concentration of active ingredients. While standard extracts often work with unknown or low withanolide levels, Shoden 's patented extraction process guarantees consistently high potency.
For you, this superior concentration means: fewer capsules for maximum effect. A single capsule contains the same amount of active ingredient as 7 conventional Withania somnifera products.

Scientific basis - Why Ashwagandha Shoden works
Withania somnifera has been the most important adaptogen in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years. Modern scientific research confirms this: The withanolide concentration is a decisive factor in determining the effectiveness of adaptogen supplements.
What is the adaptogen actually? It is one of the most important medicinal plants in traditional Indian medicine, whose scientifically proven properties have now been confirmed by modern studies.
The clinical studies in detail:
Stress reduction & well-being:
Speers et al (2021) examined the effects of the premium extract on stress and stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders in a comprehensive review. The Ayurvedic studies showed significant improvements in stress parameters, anxiety and sleep quality with regular use¹.
Physical performance & regeneration:
Wankhede et al (2015) demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial that Withania somnifera supplementation led to significant improvements in muscle strength, muscle mass and recovery in exercising adults².
Cognitive function:
Choudhary et al (2017) demonstrated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that shoden extract can significantly improve memory performance and cognitive function³.
Stress hormone regulation:
Chandrasekhar et al (2012) showed in their scientific study that highly concentrated adaptogen extracts can significantly reduce cortisol levels - a key factor for stress management⁴.
The scientific evidence is clear: the premium active ingredient with its high withanolide concentration consistently shows superior results compared to standard extracts in controlled studies.
