Adaptogens are nature’s stress reliever. These herbs bring an organic calming feeling without the side effects that other substances bring. One Adaptogen that is garnering attention is

Ashwagandha, yet there are many adaptogens out there.

Different Types of Adaptogens

Rhodiola Extract

Rhodiola has a long history of medicinal uses all over Europe and Asia as it increases endurance and treats fatigue. This powerful herb increases energy, stamina, strength, and mental capacity and improves athletic performance. Plus, those taking Rhodiola show resistance to the effects of stress since it regulates cortisol levels. 

Astragalus

Used for centuries in Chinese medicine, Astragalus is a root that strengthens and regulates the immune system. This antioxidant combats free radical production that is produced from working out or stress. The immune-building properties of the herb help prevent fatigue and improve blood flow for speedier healing.

Tart Cherry

As the name implies, tart cherry juice is extracted from Montmorency cherries, also known as sour cherries. This ingredient is rich in antioxidants and covers a range of health benefits, from exercise recovery to better sleep. In addition, it works by reducing inflammation in the body, decreasing the psychological harm that muscle soreness, pain, fatigue, and stress play on the body. 

How Do Adaptogens Work

Stress fighting Adaptogenic herbs have been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine. Adaptogenic herbs are getting attention in sports, weight loss and even as an alcohol substitute. These ancient herbs grow in some of the harshest climates in the world. The remarkable resilience of the herb is passed on. Strength, stress reduction, endurance and immune building are all key benefits that Adaptogens offer.

Usage of Adaptogen herbs benefit increase the more you take them.

Adaptogens allow your body to return to its balance point by increasing or decreasing chemical reactions within it. For example, stress elevates cortisol. Adaptogens will respond by reducing cortisol levels. When fatigued, cortisol is lowered, and an adaptogen will raise it. 

Why Should I Take Adaptogens

Adaptogens are a great natural way to support your body and alleviate stress hormones. Many people use adaptogens to: 

• Alleviate anxiety
• Reduce fatigue and/or increase energy
• As an alcohol substitute
• Regulate emotional reactions to stress
• Boost the immune system
• Weight loss

How Quickly Do Adaptogens Work

Adaptogens take time to build in your system. True benefits take 2-3 weeks to take effect. It is recommended that you take a Adaptogenic supplement like LivPur’s Recovery twice a day. Once during your daily stressor (work-out, commute, meeting at work, etc.) and then again after dinner. This will help the body absorb the Adaptogens quickly and provide the benefits sooner.

Why Are LivPur’s Adaptogens Different?

Unlike other Adaptogenic solutions on the market, LivPur has Branched Chain Amino Acids BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine). These are the building block of protein, which means drinking LivPur Recovery will replenish that protein lost in strenuous exercise or high levels of stress, and promote energy so you can push yourself longer and harder.

Studies have shown that BCAA’s may help reduce the fatigue you feel by reducing the production of Serotonin in your brain. This is especially beneficial when competing  or exercising at a high level or for long durations muscle will start to breakdown and continue until the body is given a signal to start the recovery process.

These Amino Acids also help signal the recovery process when faced with a variety of life stressors and help combat the raise of cortisol levels. The great thing about LivPur is it is excellent for any sport, activity or just for daily wellness.
