SHODEN Ashwagandha

About

Ashwagandha boasts a rich tradition of helping to support stress levels, sleep quality, and promoting a calm/focused state of mind. Shoden®, distinguished by its abundant glycowithanolides, has been the subject of extensive testing in its ability to help support stress reduction (lowered cortisol levels and increased DHEA-S levels), elevated testosterone levels in men, decreased anxiety, and improvements in non-restorative sleep.^†

Mechanisms of Action

Ashwagandha's biochemical mechanisms have been scrutinized, revealing its GABA mimetic properties (mimicking GABA) and cholinergic effects (activating the parasympathetic system by regulating acetylcholinesterase). As an adaptogen, ashwagandha exhibits plant hormonal behaviors. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated to lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), increase DHA levels (the energy hormone), and reduce C Reactive Protein (a marker of systemic inflammation).^†
