Discovered by Russian Scientists,
Adaptogens are specific plant extracts that control excess Cortisol levels
during times of stress. Cortisol in excess amounts is highly toxic, attacks
muscle mass and organs, lengthens recovery time, and diminishes strength as well
as the immune system.
Adaptogens are designed to help:
- Lower Cortisol Levels During Times Of Stress*
- Boost Your Immune System*
- Increase Your Energy Levels*
- Lower Stress Levels*
- Improve Focus & Concentration*
To be considered an adaptogen, plant extracts had to meet three key
criteria. First, they had to be totally non-toxic to human cells. Second, they
had to support cells at a healthy state. And lastly, they had to help the body
adapt to stress. How Were These Extracts Discovered?
During the mid
1950's, the Soviet government chartered their Academy of Sciences with the task
of developing a product that would enhance the performance of their elite (i.e.
Olympic athletes, Bolshoi Ballet, World Class Chess Players and Cosmonauts).
They put 1,200 scientists on the task and they conducted over 3,000 studies with
500,000 people. Their research went on for 45 years!
The scientists
decoded thousands of plants and found 10 rare plants in a far eastern Russian
area called the Primorye. These plants provided the basis for achieving the
three objectives as well as control the production of Cortisol during times of
stress. They coined the word ADAPTOGEN for the plants that demonstrated those
properties.
How Is Cortisol Produced?
Stress.
Stress triggers the adrenal gland to secrete the hormone Cortisol as a response
to any kind of physical or psychological stress. Since stress is a daily part of
our lives, and for the most part unavoidable, we all have cortisol in our
systems.
How Is Adapt Taken? Adapt is a pure liquid
extract that comes in a 60 mL bottle and lasts approximately one month. Adapt is
taken by placing two droppers-full under the tongue, holding for 30 seconds and
swallowing. This method assures quick and thorough absorption.
How Long Does It Take To Start Working?
Since Adapt
is an extract in liquid form, it is absorbed sublingually and through the gut,
so most people feel some effect within 10-15 minutes.
