Like many people, you may be left wondering, What exactly are adaptogens, and can they really help me?
Adaptogens are an essentially herb, that are intended to boost your resistant to and tolerance of stress-emotional and physical.
As the name already gives away they adapt to what your body needs. They bring balance to your system. They turn up your energy when you’re fatigued and help you relax when you’re restless.
Adaptogens are based on Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. Their holistic ingredients have been used by different cultures thru history and throughout the world. They come as mushrooms, algae, flowers and roots.
Adaptogens don’t help to eliminate stress from a persons life, rather they may enable the body to use its own abilities to change and adapt to stress and help to promote healthy aging, better memory, less fatigue, more endurance and have sharper focus and attention. On the other hand, stress can have the opposite effect on all of these functions. And that’s where adaptogens come in.
Because we’re living in such anxious times, burned out by demanding jobs and worried about what’s in the news, may explain “Adaptogens” surge in popularity. Their popularity will likely only continue to grow.
It’s worth thinking of these adaptogenic herbs as another tool in your “ feeling better” routines, along with regular exercise, sleep, and mindfulness.

One way to take ADAPTOGENS is to take supplements. Just like any other supplement you take you have to trust the brand and try to find out: How they source the herbs.
It is important to take this herbs “clean” [not growing with pesticides] or “wild sourced”. As well as proper packaging so they keep there potency. [like no sunshine is penetrating the packaging].
Use them in moderate levels, like the recommend dosage on the packaging. Don’t mix to many supplements together. Try to listen to your body and see how you feel after taking them for a wile. Since they are herbs and everybody’s tolerance is different there is no recipe working for all of us.
Depending on the flavor, certain adaptogens can be added to, say, your morning coffee, like our Holy Body Powder makes it taste like a “Chai tea”.

Are Adaptogens Effective?
Although there is limited evidence from medical studies to back the claims of effectiveness for each type of adaptogen, some new studies are beginning to emerge.
And a scientific review that examined previous adaptogen studies Ashwagandha and Rhodiola, suggested that these herbs could potentially benefit people during periods of chronic stress.
