ADAPTOGENS

WHAT ARE ADAPTOGENS?
Adaptogens are a class of herbs and non-psychedelic functional mushrooms that help your body adapt to stress—physical, environmental, emotional, and chemical—and support overall homeostasis (balance).

WHAT MAKES AN HERB OR MUSHROOM AN ADAPTOGEN?
To qualify as an adaptogen, an ingredient must:
Be non-specific in resisting stressors.
Help the body maintain or regain balance (homeostasis).
Support the body without disrupting normal function.

WHY SHOULD I TAKE ADAPTOGENS?
Because long-term stress affects nearly every system in the body. Adaptogens help reduce sensitivity to stress and support equilibrium in the nervous system, skin, digestion, immunity, and overall wellness.

ARE ADAPTOGENS PSYCHADELIC?
No, they do not change your perception or cognition. They function as supportive botanicals without psychoactive effects.

CAN CHILDREN TAKE ADAPTOGENS?
Please consult a pediatrician before giving adaptogens to children.
