Adaptogen Cheat Sheet
Posted by Estela Cockrell Feb 20th 2023
Adaptogens are plants that help our bodies adapt to mental, physical, and/or emotional stress. Adaptogens help the body get back into balance by supporting the adrenal glands (tiny glands that make our stress and sex hormones) and often improving the central nervous system. People LOVE adaptogens for their mood enhancement, energy, and cognition. Whether you fancy the pre-mixed or individual adaptogens, outlined below is our guide to the adaptogens we think may be right for you!
All of our adaptogens are: CAFFEINE FREE, VEGAN, PALEO, NON-GMO, GLUTEN-FREE, AND SUGAR-FREE!
