Unlock your full potential by building a supplement stack tailored to your unique goals. Whether you're focused on energy, focus, or overall wellness, we’re here to guide you in creating the perfect combination of supplements to support your journey. Your health, your way—powered by the right stack.
Ashwagandha, also known as Withania somnifera, is an adaptogen. Adaptogens support the body’s ability to adapt from stress while also supporting overall feelings of balance and vitality. Much like ginseng in traditional uses, an ashwagandha supplement is used to support virility and vitality. Some well known ashwagandha benefits are the potential to help support balanced inflammation levels and promote focus. Other ashwagandha uses include taking ashwagandha for sleep and as well as other ashwagandha health benefits.
Shoden® is a clinically-tested, purified extract of Ashwagandha made from carefully selected roots and leaves. With an industry leading 35% Withanolide Glycosides (measured by improved HPLC/UPLC methods), Shoden® Ashwagandha offers high bioavailability and shows bioactivity even at low doses. This means that Shoden® Ashwagandha carries by far the highest composition compared to any other extracts in the market. This makes Shoden® a potent ashwagandha supplement for those wanting a wide range of ashwagandha benefits.*
Here at Nootropics Depot, we never release a product unless we can validate the science in an ISO accredited lab. This is why we worked with the team from Arjuna, the makers of Shoden, to create improved analytical methods for testing ashwagandha. The standard USP method for assaying withanolides only looks at 8-10 of them. However, there are over 40 different withanolides made by the ashwagandha plant. This means that by only using the USP method, you are missing the majority of the withanolides types. By working with the scientific team from Arjuna, we were able to develop and validate much more accurate assay methods for testing the total withanolide content of ashwagandha. As part of the validation process, the withanolides were structurally elucidated via NMR, which allowed for the expansion of the withanolides that can be measured. This process has led to the most accurate ashwagandha assay methods in the world. Two ISO accredited lab can now perform this lab testing: Omnient Labs and Intertek. To make better products, you have to be able to measure more accurately. This is why advancing the science is so crucial. It allows for a more complete picture of the botanicals we love!
By now you may have tried a few different ashwagandha extracts. Some well known ashwagandha extracts are KSM-66 and Sensoril.
KSM 66 Ashwagandha: An ashwagandha extract made from only the roots. KSM 66 is known to be stimulating and may even help promote endurance, energy and muscle recovery.*
Sensoril Ashwagandha: An ashwagandha root and leaf extract and known for being a more smooth, relaxing blend of ashwagandha that can help promote balanced stress levels and support healthy sleep patterns.*
Shoden® Ashwagandha: What makes Shoden® truly unique is that it boasts an outstanding 35% withanolide glycoside content! This, along with high bioavailability made from both ashwagandha root and leaf parts, makes Shoden® a full spectrum ashwagandha extract with a well rounded ashwagandha effect profile.
High Bioavailability at Low Doses: Significant levels of Withanolide Glycosides remain in the blood even after six hours.*
Full Spectrum of Bioactives: Contains an industry leading, full spectrum of Withanolide bioactives, showing 21 major peaks on the chromatogram.*

Shoden is the only ashwagandha I've tried that actually reduces my stress. So, yay for that. But I was disappointed it feels nothing at all like any of the other ashwagandha types... KSM-66 & Sensoril both have stimulating qualities that are pleasant and ND's 12% is very well-rounded feeling. But Shoden doesn't feel like anything... it feels more like the absence of feeling? It's nice, but I can't see myself using it very often.
Read a machine learning study that seemed to indicate Withanolides might be rapamycin mimetics. If this is true, its a great alternative to pharma obtained rapa.
I was stacking this with tongkat Ali, which I had been taking previously. I definitely noticed a difference after adding this to my stack. My energy and mood received a nice boost.
I've tried all the Nootropics Depot ashwagandha products, and this is my go-to for everyday stress. It's potent and fast-acting, and it helps zap the anxiety without making me feel sleepy.
Ashwagandha is new to me. I've only been on it for about 6 months. I found that taking it at night works the best for me. I'm in a better mood in the morning. I was going through a lot of health issues in the last year and became very down. Since I've been on this, I have a more positive outlook on my health concerns. I also feel more balanced and have less stress at work. I have tried one other brand but like these better.
Hey everybody, I just wanted to let the world know I have found my favorite form of ashwagandha. I have been supplementing ashwaganda for about 3-4 years now. And actually missing very few days. I've never had any anhedonia or other issues related that I've read about in different places. In regards to any of the four forms of ashwagandha I've purchased through the years at ND. Of course I would be remiss not to mention everyone's body chemistry is quite different. It's really hard to explain why it's my favorite, other than it seems to give me the most relief from my upon waking fight or flight issues I experience, if you will. It's not a daily thing, it's just that feeling of dread to take on another day when I wake up 3 out of 5 ish work mornings. Simply, or is it, worrying about a new day and not staying in the present. Shoden, after a few minutes of taking it, makes my heart rate slow to normal, and abolishes the racing thoughts. And this is better than, again, any other form of ashwagandha I've supplemented through ND, and other manufacturers as well. And there have been a bunch thru the years. And for what it's worth, I only take one pill or capsule a day And it's always cool to know you're getting a solid boost of testosterone as a gentleman (with gentleman always being up for debate ;}). So kudos to my favorite nootropics company. From top to bottom and in between. And with each order, now going on some years, I'm never ceased to be amazed by how efficient this company is run. No nootropics or supplement company in the world I'm aware of, is in the same universe as Nootropics Depot. Thanks guys as always. AND, 5 BIG STARS
This, along with just a couple other changed habits seems to be helping my sleep schedule and my tolerance to stress
I finally decided to break away from my KSM-66 which was fine and did the job. However I will have to say that Shoden Ashwagandha takes the awesome feeling that ashwagandha gives me, and takes it to about 3 more levels in an ascending kind of way. I have tried all five ashwagandas I believe you all carry and this one now carries the load for me in the mornings particularly. I typically awake with a little morning cortisol Spike,; some days are worse than others of course. And since purchasing Shoden, it completely annihilates close to 100% as possible that anxious feeling you get from A.M. cortisol, and anxiety which to me is just too much adrenaline flowing through your body because you've got thoughts going through your head that are usually it's not always unrealistic. And never occur. Thank you my favorite nootropics company for continuing to provide cutting edge products that are so well tested that you know you're getting something that's clean with no BS ... and I salute each and every one who do their part or Job in making Nootropics Depot the best in the world in my opinion for nootropics and other things like herbs and basic supplements if you will
