What are adaptogens?
Pure Nutrition Adaptogen formula is a stress management supplement that includes a combination of herbal extracts with adaptogenic properties. Each Pure Nutrition adaptogen capsule contains:
- Ashwagandha root
- Rhodiola rosea root
- Astragalus root
- Maca root
- Eleutherococcus senticosus root
- Panax ginseng stem and leaves
- Holy basil leaf
- Schizandra fruit
- Amla fruit
These herbs work by helping the body "adapt" to stress and restore balance (homeostasis), hence the term "adaptogen."
Benefits of the Pure Nutrition Adaptogen formula supplement.
Adaptogens, in a broad physiological sense, work by modulating your HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis – a component of your neuroendocrine system. The HPA axis is how your body controls the stress response, primarily through the release of catecholamines and glucocorticoids like cortisol.
When your HPA axis is overactive (such as with chronic stress), your body will produce higher levels of stress hormones like cortisol.
Having high cortisol levels can cause:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- High blood pressure
- Difficulty concentrating
- Mood swings
- Brain fog
- Anxiety
Because of all the negative side effects of chronically elevated cortisol levels, it's imperative to keep your HPA axis in check (especially if you lead a stressful lifestyle); this is where adaptogens come to the rescue.
Benefits of supplementing with herbal adaptogens may include:
- Support for healthy stress management
- Promoting restorative sleep
- Improved mental performance and cognitive functions
- Promoting healthy metabolic and immune functions
- Inflammation relief
Recommended use
- Take 1 capsule 1 to 2 times daily, preferably with food or as directed by your doctor.
