Adaptogens

Adaptogenic Mushrooms and Herbs

Adaptogens are a group of natural substances that positively influence the body's response to stressful situations. In addition to these effects, they can also contribute to relaxation, better sleep, promoting immunity, vitality and overall psychological well‑being.

Adaptogenic substances are known for their effects from traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, but it was not until the 20th century that they came to be called 'adaptogens'. Adaptogenic effects have been observed in dozens of natural substances, among the best known are:

• Korean Ginseng is the best known member of the Panax genus. It also has positive effects on cognitive function, memory, energy and libido;
• Ashwagandha is one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine. It improves sleep, brain function and acts as an antioxidant;
• Maca is popular for its effects on mental and sexual health. It has beneficial effects on PMS and generally supports the maintenance of hormonal balance;
• Ginkgo Biloba is also known for its effects on memory and improving blood circulation;
• Shilajit also known as mumio, is a substance of high mountain origin formed by the decomposition of organic material. Based on its origin, it varies in its content of active substances;
• Reishi is one of the most popular functional mushrooms and can also act as a supportive therapy for depression;
• Cordyceps or emperor mushroom, supports the vitality of the body and the immune system, and has strong antioxidant effects.

In addition to adaptogens alone, we also offer complex products with a combination of several of these active ingredients. Try a supplement Iron Man which contains 700 mg of adaptogens or Mushroom Complex to support overall health and vitality.

Due to their effects on brain and cognitive function, many adaptogens are also classified as Nootropics.
