WHAT ARE ADAPTOGENS?
The majority of tonic herbs contain properties that are defined as ‘adaptogenic'.
Adaptogens are remarkable substances that have been known over centuries of use to help the human body adapt to stress, support normal metabolic processes, and restore balance.
Adaptogens increase the body’s resistance to physical, biological, emotional, and environmental stressors and promote normal physiologic function.
Adaptogenic herbs have been found to balance the body’s energies, endocrine hormones, modulate the immune system and allow the body to maintain optimal health.
We all deal with stress every day, and our bodies strive to adapt and keep balanced and healthy. It’s very important to learn healthy stress reduction practices to maintain balance to lead a long healthy life.
We can use adaptogenic herbs as tools to combat and eliminate our daily stresses and stay grounded.

There are many compounds, constituents, and nutrients in medicinal mushrooms that benefit human health, but the most well studied and tested are carbohydrate molecules called polysaccharides (long-chain sugars), more specifically beta-glucans, and the triterpenes.
The polysaccharides and triterpenes are extremely beneficial to our health as they are believed to stimulate and strongly enhance our immune system. They work to increase T-cell activity, macrophage activity, natural killer cell and neutrophil activity. This is very important for any kind of pathogenic invasion or disease that may be taking place in the body where the immune system is called to respond.
The triterpenes help modulate the immune response and have been reported to have adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive and anti-allergenic effects.
The medicinal mushrooms contain antiviral activity and have high antioxidant values comparable to resveratrol.
They also act as prebiotics in the gut to help establish good flora in the body. Medicinal mushrooms increase the good bacteria and suppress the bad bacteria, and support fungal overgrowth conditions like candida.
