Discussion
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is classified as an “adaptogenic” herb,
indicating an ability to support how the body physiologically adapts. [1,2] In
the Ayurvedic tradition, ashwagandha is considered a rasayana, [3] meaning
it is used as a rejuvenator to achieve homeostasis, build vitality, and
slow degenerative- and senescence-related processes. For thousands of
years, ashwagandha has been used to help support ailments ranging from
musculoskeletal conditions to sleep issues. [4,5] It is widely used today for
restoring physical and mental energy while balancing the effects of daily
stress.* [4,6]
Ashwagandha contains a wide range of biologically active chemical
constituents collectively known as withanolides.[7,8] Although the exact
mechanism of action for a projected effect on stress response has yet to be
elicited, ashwagandha extract appears to ease stress-induced increases of
plasma corticosterone, lactic acid in the blood, and blood urea nitrogen.[4,8] Due
to the positive association of steroid hormones with general well-being and
quality of life and the fact that cortisol is associated with stress, the influence of
ashwagandha on these hormones has also been studied.*[2]
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® 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[2,7] and for
support of a more restful night sleep.[9] Additionally, studies designed specifically
to assess the safety of Shoden resulted in no adverse or toxic effects.[3]
