Knockout Shoden Ashwagandha & Magnesium | 120 capsules | German Elite Nutrition

Knockout by German Elite Nutrition

Knockout is an ashwagandha supplement by German Elite Nutrition that combines eight ingredients in an evening formula. At its core are standardized Shoden ashwagandha extract and magnesium bisglycinate, supplemented with L-tryptophan and a range of plant extracts. Instead of separate jars of herbs and minerals, you can now combine eight ingredients in a single capsule. This not only saves space in your cupboard but also ensures a consistent ratio of ingredients in every serving.

What is in four capsules

A daily serving consists of four capsules and provides a total of 3000 mg of ingredients. This includes 1000 mg of magnesium bisglycinate, providing 200 mg of elemental magnesium, or 53% of the reference intake. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal psychological function. The serving also contains 500 mg of L-tryptophan, 500 mg of lemon balm extract, 300 mg of green tea extract with 90 mg of L-theanine, 200 mg of Shoden ashwagandha extract, 200 mg of hop extract, 200 mg of valerian extract and 100 mg of chamomile flower extract. The serving thus combines a mineral, an amino acid and several plant extracts in a single formula.

Shoden ashwagandha and the plant extracts

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a plant from the Ayurvedic tradition. The Shoden used here is a branded raw material standardized to 35% withanolides, the plant compounds for which ashwagandha is known, with a high withanolide content per capsule. Withanolides are a group of natural plant compounds characteristic of ashwagandha and to which quality extracts are standardized. This makes this ashwagandha supplement slightly more concentrated than a product based on regular root powder. In addition, the formula contains four plant extracts: lemon balm, hop, valerian and chamomile. Valerian is a root extract here (10:1), and the chamomile flower extract is standardized to apigenin. The green tea extract provides L-theanine, an amino acid that occurs naturally in tea. By using concentrated extracts, less plant material is needed per capsule for the same amount of plant compounds. This allows eight ingredients to fit into a serving of four capsules without them becoming awkwardly large.

Magnesium in bisglycinate form

The magnesium in Knockout is in the form of magnesium bisglycinate. This is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. Many users wonder why magnesium is included in an evening formula. In short: it is a mineral that you get daily through food and that plays a role in numerous processes in your cells. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the normal function of the nervous system. With 200 mg per serving, you are at over half of the daily reference intake, making this one of the more heavily dosed components of the formula.

Who is Knockout intended for?

This evening formula is intended for adults who like to end their day at a set time. A frequently asked question is when to take such an ashwagandha supplement. The manufacturer recommends taking four capsules about thirty minutes before bedtime with a glass of water. This places the serving at a fixed time in your daily routine, which works better for many people than taking separate remedies at varying times. In short, Knockout combines Shoden ashwagandha and magnesium with L-tryptophan and four plant extracts in a vegan capsule produced in the EU. A jar with 120 capsules provides 30 servings, or one month at four capsules per day. This gives you all eight ingredients for a whole month in a single package, without having to combine separate herbs and minerals.
