Our Powerhouse Ingredients
Adaptogens:
“…adaptogens help the body regulate in many ways, including improving mood, balancing hormones, fighting fatigue, and boosting the immune system.”
The main purpose of adaptogens is to help balance, restore, and protect the body. They do not have a specific action but rather help the body respond to stressors and normalize physiological functions. In other words, they increase the body's resistance to stress and buffer against its harmful effects, which makes us more resilient and healthy.
