I noticed y’all have a new ashwagandha and it looks exciting. For context, I’ve been taking ksm 66 for the better part of two years. It has phenomenal stress-reducing effects.
Would shoden be better? Has anybody on here given it a shot? There’s not a lot of info on this extract.

Ahh, so when you say a more expensive manual machine makes a big difference, you aren't talking $20 vs $50 ones, you're talking those vs $1000 ones.
Btw. are people reporting feeling energized from Shoden? It could be placebo for me, but the few times I tried it, it gave me very noticeable energy. The first time I took it was later in the afternoon, hoping to chill out and maybe go to bed earlier, but ended up wondering if I'd be able to fall asleep at my usual time :D

Yeah, quality is usually expensive. The ease of use is light years ahead, though. If you were to step up to a semi auto filler like we use in our production facility, you are looking at $40,000. A full auto machine would be around $120,000 or more. A real nice auto filler will built-in check weigher and sorter is $500,000 to $1M. So cost is relative.
Some people have mentioned an increase in energy from Shoden, yes. This can happen with any ashwagandha. Some people say the same thing with KSM-66 and Sensoril. It's interesting just how variable people's responses are to different ashwagandha extracts.
