Adaptogens are naturally occurring substances from fungi and plants. They make the body more resistant to stress and increase the body's resilience in stressful situations.
Adaptogens are usually rich in antioxidants. This reduces oxidative stress and counteracts inflammation. Chronic inflammation is one of the greatest challenges of modern times, promoting lifestyle diseases and accelerating the aging process.
Here is an overview of the most important adaptogens:
