BIOADAPTOGEN™ is a valuable tool for supporting the stressed-out individual. Combining time-tested ingredients such as Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus), Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng), Indian ginseng (Ashwagandha), and Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), this formula truly helps the body withstand stress and recover from it more quickly.
Ingredients:
ELEUTHEROCOCCUS has been used traditionally to help the body during times of mental, physical, and metabolic stress. It has been shown to increase physical work capacity by 179% in clinical studies. Eleutherococcus supports a strong immune system by protecting the adrenal glands during periods of stress.
PANAX GINSENG like its Siberian brother Eleutherococcus, has been used by the Koreans to help the body adapt to stress. Panax has also been shown to enhance physical endurance. Carbohydrate metabolism is spared and fats are oxidized (burned as fuel) more efficiently when using Panax ginseng. In addition to its adrenal gland support and balancing of cortisol levels, it also supports normal testicular function. Panax has been shown to enhance testosterone and spermatozoa production. Other noted benefits include improved memory, learning, immune function, and cardiovascular health.
ASHWAGANDHA (WITHANIA SOMNIFERA) is also known as Indian ginseng. In India it is considered an anti-aging therapy. Ashwagandha is used as an adaptogen to nourish and strengthen the body. It has immune enhancing benefits like Panax and Eleuthrococcus.
LICORICE (GLYCYRRHIZA GLABRA) has long been used for medicinal purposes. Licorice has reported benefits in individuals with disruption of gastric mucosa and adrenal insufficiencies. Glycyrrhizin, a glycoside with similar structure to adrenal steroids, has anti-inflammatory and adrenal sparing properties. Excessive intake of Glycyrrhizin can lead to sodium retention, potassium loss, fluid retention, and high blood pressure.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Licorice in amounts over 1.5 g/day should not be taken by persons with diabetes, glaucoma, heart disorders, a history of stroke, or high blood pressure.
