Shoden Ashwagandha Extract Capsules
How we scored this product Show the full breakdown
Bevisning gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Säkerhet caps applied after weighting.
This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.

Redaktionellt notes
High-potency 35%-withanolide Shoden extract at a low 120mg dose reflecting its concentration; NTD also separately sells KSM-66 (300mg, root-only, milk-extracted) as an alternative form, giving genuine product choice rather than one-size-fits-all branding.
Why this scored this way
This Nootropics Depot Shoden Ashwagandha Extract Capsules scores 5.5, making it below the site average. It contains 120.0mg of Ashwagandha, which is only 20% of the 600mg trial dose with grade B evidence (promising human data, not yet comprehensive). Transparency is a clear strength (score: 9.0), with third-party testing and a public analysintyg. At $3.33/day it's among the more expensive options in Adaptogen.

What drags it down
- Dose-evidence score of 4.2 is below average for the site.
- Overall dose is only 20% of the trial dose across ingredients.
- Ashwagandha (120.0mg is 20% of the 600mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.
- Limited consumer feedback (community score: 6.0).
- At $3.33/day it's on the expensive side.
Why you'd choose it
- You want Ashwagandha from a Nootropics Depot product.
- You prioritise tested by independent lab produkter with public lab certificates.
Why you might skip it
- You need a full trial dose of ashwagandha (this product under-doses it).
- You want a cheaper option (this is $3.33/day).
