Shoden Ashwagandha Extract
Nootropics Depot is the leader in analytical testing, utilizing an in-house lab that exceeds industry standards. They offer Shoden, the most potent ashwagandha extract on the market (standardized to 35% withanolides), providing a clinical dose in a very small capsule.
Ingredients & Purity
Shoden extract is standardized to an industry-leading 35% withanolide glycosides, meaning you need a much lower dose (120mg) for the same effect as 600mg+ of other extracts.
Scientific Evidence
Shoden has specific clinical trials showing significant improvements in restorative sleep and cortisol reduction.
Brand Transparency
Unrivaled transparency; they operate their own ISO-certified lab and frequently post testing methodology for public scrutiny.
Value Assessment
Excellent value due to the extreme potency; one bottle lasts 90 days, making the cost per effective dose lower than many weaker alternatives.
Why Not Alternatives?
Cheaper brands often use 'proprietary blends' to hide low active ingredient counts. Nootropics Depot provides exact percentages of withanolide glycosides and uses HPLC testing to verify every batch, a level of rigor most brands outsource or skip.
