Adaptogen

An adaptogen is a natural substance that helps the body adapt to physical and psychological stress. Adaptogens work by reducing the body’s response to stress, allowing it to recover quicker and more effectively. They can also help to balance hormones, increase energy levels, and improve overall mental and physical health. Adaptogens are usually plant-based, such as ginseng, ashwagandha, and rhodiola, but can also come from mushrooms, herbs, and other natural sources. They are typically taken as supplements or added to food and drinks. Some adaptogens have been used in traditional medicine for centuries, while others are more recently discovered. Research has shown that adaptogens can be beneficial in managing stress, anxiety, depression, and fatigue, as well as promoting immunity and cognitive function.
