Botanical name: Asparagus racemosus (Ashwagandha)
In Ayurvedic medicine, Ashwagandha is classified as a Rasayana, or rejuvenating herb. Known for its effects on anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia, it is one of the most studied herbs. Clinical trials consistently show significant improvements in stress indicators, energy levels, and mitochondrial health, likely due to its modulation of the HPA axis and GABA receptors, along with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Botanical name: Cordyceps militaris
Cordyceps, a key herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is known for its powerful effects on energy, physical performance, immune function, and aging. Research shows that Cordyceps improves mitochondrial function, increasing ATP production and improving oxygen uptake and utilization, leading to increased power output and resistance to fatigue. In addition, as an adaptogen, Cordyceps helps the body adjust to stress by regulating cortisol levels and supporting overall resilience, promoting balance in both physical and mental stress responses.
Botanical name: Eleutherococcus senticosus
Eleuthero, a potent adaptogen native to Siberia, has been extensively studied for its performance-enhancing properties, particularly in the USSR during the 1950s. Research has shown that Eleuthero directly impacts the regulation of genes involved in adaptive stress response pathways, which may help protect against stress-related disorders.
In addition, Eleuthero interacts directly with the adrenal glands to regulate hormone production, reducing cortisol production. Eleuthero's ability to modulate stress is complemented by its impact on endurance and physical stamina. Clinical trials with athletes have shown that it improves glucose uptake and metabolism in muscle cells.
The presence of syringin, lignans, and sesamin in Eleuthero contributes to its immune-stimulating effects. Both human and animal studies have consistently demonstrated the antioxidant activity of Eleuthero, further enhancing its adaptogenic benefits.
Botanical Name: Polygonum multiflorum
He Shou Wu, a fundamental herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is known for its rejuvenating and longevity-enhancing properties. It is traditionally used to support vitality, hair health, and anti-aging, and is also believed to nourish the kidneys and liver. Research suggests that He Shou Wu exhibits strong antioxidant activity, promoting cellular health and protecting against oxidative stress. As an adaptogen, He Shou Wu helps the body manage stress and maintain balance, making it a powerful ally in promoting overall wellness and vitality.
Botanical name: Glycyrrhiza glabra
Licorice is frequently used in traditional herbal formulas, particularly in Traditional Chinese Medicine, to harmonize and enhance the effects of other herbs. Licorice has a balancing and moderating influence in herbal blends, helping to reduce potentially aggressive effects and improving overall synergy within the formula.
Botanical name: Schisandra chinensis
Schisandra berry, the first herb recognized as an adaptogen, has been researched for decades for its impact on physical and mental performance. Studies conducted in the USSR after World War II revealed Schisandra's potential to increase energy, mood, and physical activity, especially in people experiencing depression. Furthermore, since 1979, Schisandra has been a key ingredient in ADAPT-232, a Scandinavian herbal blend valued for its ability to manage symptoms of fatigue, weakness, and reduced performance during periods of stress.
Its adaptogenic properties are attributed to its diverse phytochemical profile, with over 200 compounds identified, which contribute to its central nervous system-stimulating and fatigue-relieving effects. Schisandra is especially effective at restoring energy and normalizing sleep patterns in cases of chronic fatigue, making it a key ally in strengthening resilience to stress.
Botanical name: Asparagus racemosus
Shatavari, which translates directly from Sanskrit as “woman with 1000 husbands,” is well documented in Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Greek medicine, primarily as a rejuvenating tonic. Its wide variety of bioactive compounds has been extensively researched in clinical and preclinical trials, demonstrating a broad spectrum of therapeutic effects, including adaptogenic, libidinal, neuroprotective, immunomodulatory, and antidepressant properties, as well as several benefits for female reproductive health. One example of a powerful bioactive compound within Shatavari is racemosol, a compound that has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory properties.

What are adaptogens? How do they work?
