Editorial image for Edge, Stress resilience for hard training.
Development Template

Built as a development file, not a finished launch.

Edge is built for sustained load, not hype. It uses three mechanisms that make sense together and rejects the tempting fourth ingredient, tyrosine, because the clinical dose does not fit the product.

N°06 WRAITH

Edge

Stress resilience for hard training.

  • Ashwagandha 600 mg
  • Rhodiola Rosea 400 mg
  • Phosphatidylserine 400 mg
Dose
3 capsules
What It Is For
  • First week to 12 weeks

    Rhodiola effects may emerge earlier, while the broader stress-resilience architecture is repeated-use.

  • Daily use

    Edge is designed for consistency during demanding blocks, not occasional rescue dosing.

Ingredient / Dose Table
Active Dose Form
Ashwagandha 600 mg KSM-66 by Ixoreal, 5 percent withanolides
Rhodiola Rosea 400 mg SHR-5 or equivalent 3 percent rosavins / 1 percent salidroside
Phosphatidylserine 400 mg Soy-derived phosphatidylserine
Why We Built It This Way

Research Summary

Edge supports the body's response to sustained physical and cognitive load through three non-redundant mechanisms: HPA-axis modulation, mental-fatigue support, and acute stress-response blunting.

Mechanism Map

  • KSM-66 ashwagandha anchors the chronic HPA-axis and cortisol-support layer.
  • Rhodiola addresses stress-related fatigue, cognitive stamina, and work-capacity under load.
  • Phosphatidylserine targets acute mental stress reactivity through the ACTH/cortisol response.

Dosing Architecture

Edge is fixed-dose across body weights. The RCTs for KSM-66, rhodiola, and phosphatidylserine use fixed daily doses, and phosphatidylserine has an inverted-U signal where more is not automatically better.

Form Rationale

The formula uses KSM-66, SHR-5 or equivalent 3 percent rosavins / 1 percent salidroside rhodiola, and soy-derived phosphatidylserine. Generic, unstated adaptogen blends do not meet the standard.

What This Does Not Do

  • Not a sleep aid.
  • Not a pre-workout.
  • Not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent anxiety, depression, PTSD, burnout, adrenal disease, or any psychiatric condition. Users with diagnosed conditions should speak with a clinician.
What We Excluded and Why
  • L-Tyrosine

    Removed because the cognitive-under-stress RCT dose is typically 100 to 150 mg/kg, or gram-scale fixed dosing, which is not viable in this capsule architecture. [10]

  • Caffeine

    Excluded because stimulants are wrong for a chronic stress-resilience SKU and belong in Focus or Ignite.

  • Maca

    Excluded because its stronger category territory is libido and mood, which overlaps Restore.

Evidence Limitations
  • Effects are most relevant over weeks, not minutes.
  • Stress studies vary by population, stress model, and endpoint.
  • Combination effects across all three ingredients have not been directly tested as this exact formula.

FAQ

Why fixed dose?

Because the adaptogen and phosphatidylserine trials use fixed doses, not body-weight dosing.

Why no tyrosine?

Tyrosine is interesting, but the clinical dose is too large for this capsule product.
