35% withanolide glycosides
You may be familiar with withanolides, a group of compounds characteristic of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) to which the above-described effects of the plant are attributed.
Shoden® is standardised in withanolide glycosides, the family of compounds in ashwagandha in their native state, bound to a glycoside, in the state in which they naturally play their proper roles in the plant.
Standardisation of the native compounds of ashwagandha is a pioneering technique that has been found to be potentially superior to other standardisations, thanks to the extent of unparalleled quantities of its chemical constituents:
| Product | Standardisation |
| Other ashwagandha extracts | 3-5% withanolides |
| HSN Ashwagandha Extract | 8.5% withanolids |
| Ashwagandha Shoden® Extract (40:1) 240mg from HSN | 35% withanolide glycosides |
With a unique BIPS protection system
Shoden® has developed their own encapsulation system to protect the bioactivity of withanolide glycosides, known as BIPS (Bioactive Ingredient Protection System).
This procedure is a pioneering and patented Arjuna Natural technique whereby all active molecules are protected in an armour that allows them to reach the intestine safely, surviving the acid pH changes in the stomach in their entirety.
This process makes Shoden® a more bioavailable ashwagandha, even at low doses.
Dose
Our Research, Development and Innovation experts have evaluated the randomised controlled studies that have used Shoden extract® with good results to determine the most appropriate dose to use in our supplement.
Our ashwagandha extract uses 240mg of Shoden®, in accordance with the scientific evidence.
No unwanted compounds
Ashwagandha extracts may contain undesirable compounds, such as the infamous Withaferin A lactone.
Shoden® is an extract that undergoes detoxification processes using a procedure developed by Arjuna to remove toxins and other unwanted compounds from the leaves and roots of the plant.
Enjoy ashwagandha with guaranteed safety.

I have been drinking it for two years. One of the best discoveries. Both for stress, anxiety and to sleep better. It also shows in the information. I recommend it 100%.

Well
Juan 22/02/2024
I haven't noticed any difference between these and the KSM-66, it helps a little for stress but it doesn't work miracles either.

José Ángel 11/09/2025
This product was recommended to me, I asked for it with some reluctance because I have tried everything to fall asleep without much result, however, I have to say that I have taken it two nights in a row and I have noticed results. Now I am the one recommending it. Best regards.

Effect after 30 minutes
Manuel 28/08/2025
It is the only Ashwaganda supplement that really works and within 30 minutes of taking it, not like the rest that you have to be taking it for a month to notice anything. It has a powerful and de-stressing effect.
