A systematic review assessing the effects of ashwagandha for anxiety and stress response included five randomized controlled human trials. An analysis of results indicated that ashwagandha intervention resulted in greater score improvements than placebo in outcomes shown on anxiety or stress scales, with no observed adverse events.
SHODEN® INDUSTRY-LEADING CONCENTRATION SUPPORTS A MORE RESTFUL NIGHT SLEEP
Shoden® Ashwagandha Extract Shoden is an extract derived from the leaves and roots of the ashwagandha plant. This multi-patented ashwagandha extract is distinguished by its industry-leading concentration of 35% withanolide glycosides. Shoden has been clinically studied for its adaptogenic role in the stress response and for support of a more restful night sleep. Additionally, studies designed specifically to assess the safety of Shoden resulted in no adverse or toxic effects. Company Name’s Ashwagandha Complete contains 240 mg of Shoden per the two-capsule daily dose.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adults (N = 60) was designed to assess the stress-balancing effects and the potential mechanism of action of Shoden. Test subjects given 240 mg of Shoden daily for 60 days demonstrated reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol and the steroidal hormone DHEA-S. There was also an increase of testosterone in male participants. Although other potential mechanisms of action were not investigated, the results of this study suggested ashwagandha has an attenuating effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in stressed individuals.
Results from a randomized, controlled trial in adult males (N = 57) with moderate fatigue who were given Shoden daily for 16 weeks indicated significant improvements in salivary levels of the steroid hormones DHEA-S and testosterone, which typically decline with age. Additionally, although insignificant, self-reported improvements in fatigue, vigor, and sexual and psychological well-being were documented via questionnaire. No significant difference was recorded for salivary cortisol levels; however, it should be noted that in previous findings serum rather than salivary cortisol was assessed.
To ascertain the effect of Shoden on restorative sleep, healthy subjects (N = 150) were given 120 mg of Shoden daily for 6 weeks in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The overall quality of sleep was evaluated using a weekly questionnaire and an assessment of parameters such as sleep latency, sleep efficiency, and total sleep time as measured by a wearable sleep actigraphy diagnostic monitoring device. A significant improvement of sleep measures that define non-restorative sleep were noted in the treatment group when compared to placebo, demonstrating the positive effect of Shoden on encouraging restful sleep.

Inositol
Present as the distinct isomer myo-inositol, inositol is a six-carbon cyclic polyalcohol that occurs naturally in all living cells. Fruits, beans, grains, and nuts contain some inositol; however, an 1800-2500–calorie daily diet has been shown to provide only 225-1500 mg of myo-inositol. Of the nearly 100% of ingested myo-inositol that is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, more than half becomes lipid bound. In contrast to low plasma concentration, the peripheral nerves have an extraordinarily high concentration of myo-inositol.[1] Inositol is a precursor for the second-messenger phosphatidyl- inositol system, which affects mood status differently than precursors for neurotransmitters. Based upon validated scoring procedures, double-blind, controlled, random-order crossover clinical trials using up to 18 g of myo-inositol per day for a month have demonstrated effectiveness with minimal to no side effects.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)
GABA is an amino acid manufactured in brain cells from glutamate. This primary neurotransmitter, abundant in the cerebral cortex, increases the production of alpha waves (related to a relaxed, yet mentally focused state) while decreasing beta waves (associated with hyperactivity, nervousness, and fleeting thoughts). Sufficient GABA results in the smooth, calming, regular rhythmic flow of electrical impulses in the brain needed for emotional well-being. Supplementation in humans has shown support for the maintenance of healthy cortisol and secretory IgA levels while under stress.
Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid)
Taurine exists mainly in free form in the intracellular space of tissues. This conditionally essential amino acid maintains cell volume via osmoregulation, which is the process that corrects excessive or insufficient concentrations of electrolytes. Taurine also stabilizes cell membranes in the heart and brain—two electrically active tissues. Considered neuroprotective, taurine modulates the ability of mitochondria to buffer intracellular calcium during glutamate depolarization and excitotoxicity (the means by which neurons are overstimulated and damaged) and, thereby, may prevent cell death. In addition to its antioxidant and cytokine-balancing functions, taurine is important to neurotransmission, neuroregulation, and cardiac function. Taurine supplementation also increases GABA.
L-Theanine (N-ethyl-L-glutamine)
L-Theanine, provided as Suntheanine, is protected by more than 40 US and international patents for its various physiological efficacies and L-isomer-specific production processes. A naturally-occurring, biologically active, free-form amino acid, L-theanine gives green tea its characteristic taste. Although notable for its relaxation support, L-theanine may also support nerve health and cognition. Theanine lowers glutamate levels by preventing transport of glutamate’s precursor, glutamine. It may also inhibit neurotransmission, cause inhibitory neurotransmission via glycine receptors, and thereby reduce neuronal overstimulation. L-theanine’s ability to relax the mind without inducing drowsiness has been documented by an increase in alpha wave activity during EEG recording.
Magnesium
Sometimes referred to as the relaxation mineral and mainly found in the brain, bones, and muscles, magnesium assists in the transmission of nerve impulses and is essential to more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Magnesium supplementation has been shown to support a healthy mood, including during the menstrual cycle when mood changes are common.
