Investigate The Herbs Inside Adaptonz
- 1
Herbs have been used for thousands of years by people all around the world, and thousands of studies are published every year validating their effects.
Below is a quick look at the herbs inside Adaptonz liquid.
Schisandra (Schisandra Chinensis)
Schisandra chinensis (Schisandra berry or Wu Wei Zi) is a renowned adaptogenic berry that supports stress resilience by balancing the HPA axis and cortisol response. It’s ideal for post-menopausal women because it helps ease hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings.
Key Evidence:
- Balances HPA Axis & Cortisol — Lowers stress-induced CRH and cortisol in animal models; normalizes HPA overactivation. (3)
- Reduces Menopausal Symptoms; significantly cuts hot flashes, sweating, and palpitations in a 6-week clinical trial. (4)
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Also known as Withania, the root has a history of use as a calming bedtime drink.
It reliably lowers cortisol (20–30% in trials) by moderating HPA axis, reducing anxiety and improving sleep/weight in stressed adults. (1) It’s like a chill pill for your adrenals.
Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea):
Suppresses cortisol spikes during stress, boosts mental performance, and reduces fatigue. Research shows it decreases awakening cortisol response in burnout patients. (2)
Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus)
This mushroom boosts nerve growth factor (NGF), supporting brain health under stress. Pilot studies indicate it improves cognitive speed and reduces subjective stress after 28 days, possibly by modulating inflammation and oxidative damage in the brain-gut axis. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38004235/) Great for “stress fog”—pair with detox for clearer thinking and less emotional eating.
This way complements the HPA reset by addressing mental fatigue.
Kava root (Piper methysticum)
Kava is a traditional South Pacific herb prized for its powerful calming and anxiolytic effects. It promotes deep relaxation, reduces perceived stress and anxiety, and helps quiet an overactive mind, without sedation or cognitive fog.
Kava offers fast-acting nervous system support, making it a complementary addition to adaptogenic blends.
Key Evidence:
- Anxiety & Perceived Stress; Multiple RCTs and meta-analyses show significant reductions in anxiety symptoms with short-term use, comparable to some pharmaceuticals but with better cognitive safety. (5)
- Calms the Nervous System via GABA. Kavalactones modulate GABA-A receptors, promoting relaxation and reducing acute stress responses. (6)
- Supports Sleep & Mood in Stress Contexts, improving sleep quality, indirectly helping normalize cortisol rhythms disrupted by poor rest. (7)
