An Introduction to Adaptogens

If you are battling persistent stress, you may want to consider integrating adaptogens into your lifestyle. These natural substances work to counteract the harmful physical effects of stress on our bodies. Adaptogens were first studied extensively during World War II by scientists seeking to enhance the performance of pilots, given the highly stressful nature of their jobs. Certain natural plants, such as a vine native to China, have been identified as valuable adaptogens, with seeds that reduce feelings of hunger, thirst, and fatigue.

Understanding How Adaptogens Function

Adaptogens interact with a person's pituitary glands, adrenal glands, and hypothalamus—all of which play significant roles in the stress response process. They successfully disrupt this stress response, helping our bodies resist the harmful effects of prolonged stress. Researchers have broken down the stress response into three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. When exposed to a stressor—like an intense workout—our bodies release a variety of hormones such as adrenaline, which boosts muscle performance as well as concentration. Adaptogens work by prolonging the resistance phase, thereby increasing our endurance. Some of the observed benefits of adaptogens include neuron protection, anti fatigue, anti-depressive effects, and enhancement of attention and mental capacity.

The Primary Adaptogenic Herbs

There are three main adaptogenic herbs regarded as safe and non-toxic: Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), Arctic root (Rhodiola Rosea), and Schisandra (Schisandra Chinensis). Siberian ginseng, despite its name, isn't genuine ginseng but possesses similar characteristics. It is known for combatting stress, fatigue, and depression. The Arctic root, native to the colder climates of Asia and Europe, has historically been used in Russia and Scandinavia to treat ailments such as headaches and flu. Schisandra is particularly beneficial for liver care and blood sugar level stabilization, along with its adaptogenic properties.

Efficacy and Benefits of Adaptogens

Research findings affirm the significant usefulness of adaptogens. They not only promote health (as observed with Schisandra) but also assist in treating specific conditions, primarily in conjunction with traditional medicine techniques. These herbs are known to enhance mental clarity, making them beneficial for people dealing with depression and other health issues. They can also supplement treatment with antidepressants. Schisandra, in particular, is beneficial for people suffering from unexplained chronic fatigue, as it can boost both physical and mental performance and alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia. Plus, unlike caffeine, your body does not develop a tolerance to Schisandra, making it consistently effective.

If you are dealing with chronic health conditions that are affecting your mental and physical abilities, consider adding adaptogens to your health regimen. Consult with a healthcare professional for advice, or connect with one of our hormone advisors on this website for guidance. It is also advisable to conduct personal research to understand the supplement before deciding to use it.
