Adaptogens are a class of herbs and nutrients that help the body adapt to stress — promoting resilience, hormone balance, and vitality through the aging process.
How adaptogens work:
✅ Modulate cortisol → prevents excess stress hormone elevation
✅ Support adrenal resilience → helps maintain energy and mood
✅ Reduce inflammation → protects skin, brain, and cardiovascular health
✅ Support nervous system tone → promotes relaxation and focus
✅ Enhance immune resilience → protects against stress-related immune suppression
Top adaptogens for stress resilience and aging:
✅ Ashwagandha: supports sleep, focus, and cortisol balance
✅ Rhodiola: enhances cognitive function and physical stamina
✅ Holy basil: reduces inflammation and supports mood
✅ Eleuthero (Siberian ginseng): promotes endurance and energy
✅ Schisandra: protect skin from damage, enhances mental clarity and focus
How to incorporate adaptogens:
✅ Personalize selection based on individual stress patterns and health goals
✅ Use as part of a comprehensive stress resilience plan
✅ Combine with nutrition, gut support, sleep optimization, and movement
