Adaptuit

Every day you contend with stress: Physical, emotional, biological and chemical demands that can drain your energy and affect your body.¹ Linked to weight challenges, heart concerns, sleep issues and more, daily stress can be a key factor in determining your overall health outlook.^2-3

In the 1940s, scientist Dr. Nikolai Lazarev coined the term “adaptogen” to mean an agent that raises the body’s ability to resist stress by countering undesired stressors, whether physical, chemical, emotional, or biological.⁴ Adaptogens are herbs that help the body “adapt” to stress and occasional stress-related fatigue.

These ancient herbs, often found thriving in harsh environments, are traditionally used to sharpen mental function, boost physical endurance and restore inner balance in response to various stressors.¹⁶ The plants that have been identified as adaptogens have adapted to their harsh environments including high altitude, extreme cold, low oxygen, intense irradiation from the sun and other stressful conditions. ²
