Adaptogens are a marvel of nature

3000 years ago, the Chinese discovered the therapeutic benefits behind these botanicals

Ashwaghanda
Rhodhiola
Eleuthero
Schisandra

They help your body “adapt” to the stress you experience, an elixir to your vitality

Here’s how they do it:
Stress causes your body produces excess cortisol

You have a natural capacity to deactivate it through the work of proteins known as Glucocorticoid receptors

Wear and tear damages these structures over time

Structure = function in the protein world, they need to be optimal
Adaptogens have been shown to upregulate heat shock proteins

These mini biological mechanics attach to receptors and repair protein damage

Your body is now fine tuned to once again deactivate your cortisol in an effective manner
You should absolutely consider the therapeutic benefits of these powerful botanicals when you are under extreme stress

They changed my life and I’m convinced they can do the same for you

Give them a shot
