GlossaryAdaptogens

natural substances that help the body adapt to stress

Adaptogens are natural substances, often derived from plants and herbs, that are believed to help the body resist and adapt to stressors, whether physical, chemical, or biological. They work by modulating the body's stress response and promoting homeostasis, potentially improving overall health and resilience. Examples include ashwagandha, rhodiola, and ginseng.
