Can You Spot the Difference?

Most supplements hide behind "proprietary blends" that don't tell you how much of each ingredient you're actually getting. We believe you deserve to know.

When a label says "Proprietary Blend 1,500mg" with 8 ingredients, you're likely getting less than 200mg of each - far below what clinical studies prove is effective. That's why we list every single dose.

Patented Ingredients

Why We Use Patented Ingredients

Patented ingredients cost more. We use them anyway. Here's why: they come with clinical research proving they work - not just in test tubes, but in actual human trials.

"Generic ashwagandha might be 2% withanolides. Shoden® is 35%. That's not a small difference - it's the difference between working and not working."

Human Clinical Trials

Not just lab tests or animal studies. Real research with real people proving real results.

Standardized Potency

Guaranteed levels of active compounds. Shoden® is always 35% withanolides - generic ashwagandha varies wildly.

Quality Control

Patented ingredients come with certificates of analysis. Full traceability from source to capsule.

Optimized Bioavailability

Patents often cover extraction methods that make ingredients more absorbable by your body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our formulations and science

A clinical dosage is the exact amount of an ingredient that was shown to be effective in peer-reviewed human studies. Many supplements use tiny amounts just to list the ingredient - we use the amounts that actually work.

Patented ingredients have been researched, tested, and proven effective. They cost more because the company invested in clinical trials. Generic versions often don't have the same quality standards.

Proprietary blends hide the individual dosages of ingredients. A company might list 10 impressive ingredients but use ineffective micro-doses of most. We show exact amounts because we have nothing to hide.

Many ingredients work acutely - FOCUS kicks in within 30 minutes, ZEN within 20-30 minutes, GAZM within 30 minutes. Some ingredients like Synapsa® build up over 2-4 weeks for maximum effect.
