Stress? Try NuAdapt!

“Stress is defined as any disturbance—extreme cold or heat, psychological stress, sleep deprivation, work overload, physical trauma, as well as toxic exposure—that can trigger the stress response. The body’s stress response system is comprised of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Prolonged stress triggers the HPA axis and consists of three stages: alarm, resistance and exhaustion.” Long extended stress exposure leads to an imbalance in cortisol and DHEA production, resulting in symptoms, such as fatigue, nervous tension, irritability, and poor memory. By balancing these production levels, the body can rebound into homeostasis.

What Does NuAdapt Contain?

L-Theanine

L-theanine is an amino acid found abundantly in green tea and has been found to drastically improve perception and resilience, while also increasing serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain. Along with this, L-theanine has been shown to increase alpha brain wave activity, which is absolutely essential in promoting a state of relaxation.

Phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid found in high concentrates in the brain. Studies have shown that individuals under high levels of stress have reduced phosphatidylserine. An increase of this phospholipid helps with relieving stress and calming the mind.

Bacopa monierri & Ashwagandha Root Extract

Bacopa monierri is an herb that provides support for those under stress and has been shown to improve memory, learning, attention, and focus. This herb provides neuroprotection and antioxidant effects to ultimately reduce oxidative stress.

Ashwagandha has strong adaptogenic properties to provide benefits for individuals that may have compromised health due to stress exposure. According to Orthomolecular, “Ashwagandha’s benefits include improving stress resilience, supporting immune response, regulating the sleep cycle, supporting healthy thyroid function and protecting against exhaustion of the nervous system. Ashwagandha has shown to be beneficial in supporting proper mood regulation and restoring a sense of calmness under stress.”

Rhodiola rosea Root Extract & Eleuthero Root Extract

Rhodiola rosea has been categorized as an adaptogenic botanical due to its ability to resist daily stressors. This botanical has been widely studies throughout Eastern Europe and Asia for its unique ability to help with the nervous system, mood regulation, mental clarity, work performance and the sleep cycle. Studies have shown that Rhodiola rosea has demonstrated the ability to preserve levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.

Eleuthero Root Extract is widely studied and used in China as an adaptogenic botanical to help improve general health, support memory and endurance. In addition, this botanical helps improve stress resilient and fight fatigue, while also having immune modulating effects.
