An Adaptogens list to help you manage your stress

There’s a lot of buzz around adaptogens these days — and for good reason! Adaptogens are herbs (plants, mushrooms, and other botanicals) that can help support your body’s natural ability to adapt to occasional stress.* That can include both occasional physical and occasional emotional stress.* Adaptogens can help support your adrenals, which are basically the project managers of your body’s natural stress response.* They also help support other body systems and structures during times of occasional stress.*

Adaptogens may support your body in adapting to whatever life throws your way.* They’re a specific group of herbs (and that includes mushrooms) that support your body’s natural stress response.* But before we get to our 15 favorite adaptogens list, let’s take a look at how adaptogens may help in coping with occasional stress.

To be considered an adaptogen, an “herb” has to support the body in it's natural process in adapting to both occasional environmental and psychological stresses.* It must also offer nonspecific support to major systems — including your nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.* Adaptogens may:

  • support healthy stamina, energy, and endurance.*
  • help support mental concentration and focus.*
  • promote your bodies natural response to occasional physical or emotional stress.*
  • support your immune system and  your endocrine system so that it can do the important work of maintaining your natural defenses.*
  • support well-being and promote balance during times of occasional stress.*
