Simple and effective supplements to

better your health

The Core Pillars of Health

Generations of deep scientific research has unequivocally contended that cornerstones of good health can be condensed into the following crucial pillars - Good Nutrition, Mental & Emotional Wellbeing, Sleep and Exercise. They keep our bodies functioning at optimal physical performance, and ensure peak mood and mental health.

Nutrition

Mental & Emotional Wellbeing

Sleep

Physical Activity

Stress-Busting Adaptogens

Adaptogens are plants, herbs and roots which, as the name suggests, help the body and mind adapt to stressful situations better - by supporting its natural ability to deal with stress, “adapting” against physical, chemical or biological stressors.

Adaptogens act as biological boosters, that balance the body and mind. They work at a cellular level and exhibit neuroprotective, anti-fatigue, and central nervous system (CNS) stimulating activity.

Adaptogens do for your adrenal glands what exercise does for your muscles. These plants interact with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathoadrenal system, both of which are involved in the body’s response to stress.

Adaptogens have been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda based healing and ancient Chinese traditions and more recently (in the last fifty years) have been used by professional athletes due to the high potential of adaptogenic herbs to increase the body’s resilience and improve physical and mental endurance.

Adaptogens provide numerous health benefits including supporting the reduction of stress levels, stress-related anxiety, depression and the enhancement of energy, mood, focus and more.

Fun Fact

Adaptogens were used by Russian athletes to prepare for the Olympic games in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s and continue to be used by professional athletes all over the world today.

How Stress Affects Us

When you encounter a perceived threat, your hypothalamus, a tiny region at your brain's base, sets off an alarm system in your body. Through a combination of nerve and hormonal signals, this system prompts your adrenal glands, located atop your kidneys, to release a surge of hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol.

Adrenaline increases your heart rate, elevates your blood pressure and boosts energy supplies. Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, increases sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream, enhances your brain's use of glucose and increases the availability of substances that repair tissues. This alters immune system responses and suppresses the digestive system, the reproductive system and growth processes. This complex natural alarm system also communicates with the brain regions that control mood, motivation and fear.

When stressors are always present and you constantly feel under attack, a fight-or-flight reaction stays turned on. The long-term activation of the stress response system and the overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones that follows can disrupt almost all your body's processes. This puts you at increased risk of many health problems, including anxiety, depression, digestive problems, headaches, muscle tension and pain, heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure and stroke, sleep problems, weight gain, memory and concentration impairment, lethargy and fatigue.

That's why it's so important to have natural and healthy ways with no side effects to cope with your life stressors.
