Shoden® Ashwagandha: Why It’s in Calmer⁺

🌿 Rooted in tradition, proven by science

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years as a restorative herb to support resilience, balance, and vitality. It’s what’s known as an adaptogen — helping the body adapt to stress and maintain equilibrium.

Shoden® is a highly standardized extract of ashwagandha, containing 35% withanolide glycosides (its key active compounds). This makes it one of the most concentrated, clinically studied forms of ashwagandha available today.

⚖️ Calmer⁺’s Dose: 120 mg

Clinical studies show that even at low daily doses (60–120 mg), Shoden® can significantly reduce markers of stress and anxiety.
At 120 mg, it strikes the balance between effectiveness and tolerability, making it a safe, targeted dose for occasional or daily support.

🔬 How it works

Evidence suggests that Ashwagandha helps the body stay balanced during stress by:

Modulating cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone.
Supporting neurotransmitter systems like serotonin, acetylcholine, and GABA, which play key roles in mood and calm.
Enhancing emotional resilience, so you’re less likely to feel overwhelmed.

📊 What the research says

A recent double-blind, placebo-controlled study (2024, Heliyon) tested Shoden® at 60 mg and 120 mg daily over 60 days:

~59% reduction in anxiety scores, compared with no significant change in placebo.
66–67% drop in morning cortisol levels.
Improvements in perceived stress, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing.
Men also saw an increase in testosterone, suggesting broader benefits for energy and vitality.

These results confirm Shoden®’s power even at small doses — something not always seen with other ashwagandha extracts.

✅ Safety profile

Well tolerated in studies at both 60 mg and 120 mg.
Suitable for adults 18+.
Not habit-forming and does not create dependency.
As with all supplements, those pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or on certain medications (SSRIs, sedatives, thyroid or blood pressure treatments) should seek medical advice before use.
