ADAPTOGENS

Adaptogens are a unique class of natural substances that help the body's ability to cope with stress, both physical and mental. They work by supporting the body's natural ability to balance and stabilize its physiological processes, particularly the stress response system.

Key characteristics of adaptogens include:

1. Stress Resistance: They help increase the body's resistance to stressors, allowing for better management of physical and mental strain.

2. Balancing Effect: Adaptogens work in a non-specific way to increase the body's ability to maintain homeostasis, a stable equilibrium in the body's physiological processes.

3. Normalizing Influence: Regardless of the direction of the stressor (physical, chemical, or biological), adaptogens exert a normalizing effect, helping to bring back balance.
