What is an Adaptogen?
An adaptogen is a phytonutrient that has the amazing ability to help normalize or "adapt" the body’s functions to a higher rate of functioning, regardless of the person’s current health status. Adaptogens are able to take you from where you are, so to speak, and then help move you to the next level. Taking them over time can create higher and higher states of well-being. This action is thought to be mediated via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the pathway linked to longevity. Now you can see why adaptogenic herbs were so valued in the past – many kings and privileged royalty considered regular consumption of adaptogenic herbs as the key to great vitality and a long, healthy life.
Does Exercise Make You Sick?
Now more than ever, people who exercise regularly are becoming rare. Too often, after exercising, many people do not feel pleasantly invigorated – in fact, many feel just the opposite – exhausted. In a poorly nourished body, waste products become trapped in the body’s tissues like stagnant sludge. Since the body cannot detoxify itself adequately, the immune system is forced to continually expend much of its power in trying to download these toxins as well as clearing low-grade infections arising from the stagnation. In this state, exercise only serves to overwhelm an already burdened immune system. This is why many people feel ill – or get ill – after exercising hard. The answer is not just more exhausting exercise – but using our unique formulation of nutrients to nourish the immune system and to help the body rapidly detoxify itself. As the body moves into more optimal functioning, exercise becomes enjoyable again – the way it was designed to be.
Is it possible to feel great all the time? Is it possible to maximize your immune system so that a hard workout leaves you feeling good – not exhausted?
