100 mL: ₹75 · 200 mL: ₹140

Shakti Sudha ('nectar of strength') is an Ayurvedic Rasayana syrup: an ark of Ashwagandha, Shatavari and Vidhara for strength, Brahmi and Shankhpushpi for the mind, and cumin, Punarnava, Gokshura, Chitrak, Akarkara and cinnamon to keep digestion and absorption working.

Its Hindi गुणधर्म describes it as Balavardhaka, Buddhivardhaka and Kantijanaka — building strength, intellect and a healthy glow — and as nourishing the body's tissues (Dhatu).

Used for

• Tiredness & low stamina (Balya)
• Mental fatigue & focus (Medhya)
• Weakness after illness
• General vitality (Rasayana)

Why you feel run down

Ongoing tiredness has many causes — poor sleep, stress, a recent illness, low iron or vitamin levels, thyroid problems or simply doing too much. Chronic stress keeps cortisol high, which disturbs sleep, mood and recovery.

Ayurveda describes this as Ojas-kshaya — depletion of the body's vital essence — and Dhatu-kshaya, the wasting of tissues, when digestion is weak and Vata runs high. Rasayana therapy pairs nourishing, strength-giving (Balya) herbs with Medhya herbs for the mind and digestive herbs to make sure the nourishment is absorbed.

Shakti Sudha restores in 3 ways

• Adaptogen & Strength (Balya, Rasayana) — Ashwagandha lowered perceived stress and cortisol and improved strength and sleep in meta-analyses of randomised trials; Shatavari and Vidhara are adaptogenic in experimental studies.
• Mind & Memory (Medhya) — Brahmi improved attention and speed of processing in a meta-analysis of randomised trials, and Shankhpushpi is memory-enhancing and calming in animal studies.
• Digestion & Absorption (Deepana) — Cumin, Chitrak, cinnamon and Akarkara kindle digestion so the tonic herbs are absorbed — in Ayurveda, a Rasayana works only when Agni does.

Key ingredients

• Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera, root) — 200 mg. Ayurveda's best-known Balya-Rasayana. In randomised trials ashwagandha root extract lowered perceived stress and cortisol and improved sleep and muscle strength; its withanolides are the main active constituents.
• Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus, root) — 200 mg. Ayurveda's chief Rasayana for women. Its steroidal saponins (shatavarins) are adaptogenic, immunomodulatory and anti-ulcer in experimental studies, and it is traditionally used to support milk supply.
• Vidhara (Elephant creeper) (Argyreia nervosa, root) — 200 mg. A classical Rasayana root for strength, joints and the nerves. Its root extract was analgesic and anti-inflammatory in animal studies and improved sperm parameters impaired by diabetes in rats; human research is lacking.
• Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri, whole plant) — 200 mg. Ayurveda's best-known Medhya Rasayana. A meta-analysis of randomised trials found Bacopa extract improved attention and speed of processing; its bacosides are antioxidant and neuroprotective in experimental studies.
• Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis, whole plant) — 200 mg. A classical Medhya herb for memory and restful sleep. An umbrella review found memory-enhancing, anxiolytic and neuroprotective effects in animal studies, with a few small clinical studies; its coumarins and flavonoids are antioxidant.
• Gokhru (Gokshura) (Tribulus terrestris, fruit) — 100 mg. Ayurveda's chief herb for the urinary tract (Mutrala) and a reproductive tonic. Its saponins (protodioscin) and flavonoids are diuretic and anti-urolithic in animal studies; human evidence is limited.
• Akarkara (Anacyclus pyrethrum, root) — 25 mg. Pellitory root, a pungent Unani and Ayurvedic stimulant. Its alkylamides (pellitorine) are anti-inflammatory and analgesic, and it improved sperm function in a rat study of cadmium toxicity.
• Chitrak (Plumbago zeylanica, root) — 50 mg. Ayurveda's strongest Agni-kindler, used for indigestion, piles and sluggish metabolism. Its naphthoquinone plumbagin is antioxidant and antibacterial in laboratory studies; the root is irritant and avoided in pregnancy.
• Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa, whole plant) — 100 mg. Its name means 'renews the body'. Ayurveda uses it for swelling (Shotha), the kidneys and the liver; its rotenoids and flavonoids are diuretic, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective in experimental studies.
