We have decided to discontinue the Bio-Shoden® Ashwagandha in favour of the new and highly innovative Bioactive Shoden® Ashwagandha
The Bio-Shoden® Ashwagandha contains 240mg of Shoden extract per capsule, which some data indicates is too powerful to take twice daily and/or long term, especially for women due to it's potential effects on testosterone levels.
A much safer and beneficial dose is 120mg Shoden extract once or twice a day for men and women 12+ years old, as in the new Natroceutics Bioactive Shoden® Ashwagandha.
Bio-Shoden® Ashwagandha is a multi-tasking adaptogen that works by modulating the physiological stress -response mechanisms, including the immune system, hormone and neurotransmitter balances, and the body’s inflammatory cascades. It supports stress management, sleep quality, cognition, and vitality.

Further information:
Ashwagandha is renowned as an essential herb in Ayurveda, used for thousands of years as a powerful adaptogen. Adaptogens are natural substances found to increase the body's resilience and ability to recover from physical and emotional stress. They work by reducing and maintaining healthy levels of stress hormones like cortisol.
The mental and physical effects of ashwagandha have been investigated in many clinical trials and published studies throughout the years, and have been shown to improve emotional health, mental cognition and sleep
architecture while also creating an overall feeling of balance and normalization.
Bio-Shoden® Ashwagandha utilises Shoden™ which is an extremely potent ashwagandha extract. This multi-patented botanical provides an industry-leading 35 % withanolide glycoside for exceptional bioavailability. At a dosage of 240 mg, Bio-Shoden® Ashwagandha provides an effective and powerful dose per capsule.

Sleep architecture

Nature is the ultimate healer and for centuries has provided us with potent natural extracts to help deal with our daily struggles. Ashwagandha is one such extract.
Almost everyone struggles with some form of stress, whether it be physical or emotional, obvious or underlying. Learning to deal with stress can be difficult, and unfortunately it can manifest itself in undesired forms such as disturbed sleep, reduced cognitive ability, poor vitality and a negative emotional state. With hundreds of clinical trials and published studies supporting its benefits, Ashwagandha is renowned for its ability to modulate the body and mind’s stress response and assist with the management and recovery from excessive stress.
A powerful adaptogen found to increase the body’s resilience, Ashwagandha may reduce and maintain healthy levels of stress hormones like cortisol.
