Arjuna Natural’s new clinical study supports the positive effect of its proprietary Shoden brand ashwagandha extract (Withania somnifera) in alleviating stress and anxiety. The study finds that the extract exhibited efficacy at low doses. The Indian adaptogenic has held a historical reputation in easing stress and enhancing sleep quality. Arjuna Natural says this botanical has presented absorption challenges due to the low solubility of certain active compounds, particularly withanolides.
