Adaptogenic Herbs

Although they have been used for centuries, adaptogenic herbs remained relatively undiscovered and unexplored until the mid-1900’s, when Dr. Israel Brehkman dedicated his life to the research of these amazing herbs. For over 40 years, Dr. Brehkman delved into the mysteries of adaptogenic herbs, uncovering incredible benefits in the areas of stress management, concentration, and athletic performance.

In his research, Dr. Brekhman studied many plants, but he realized that very few could be categorized as adaptogenic herbs. In order to be included in this elite group, plants had to meet three general requirements. First and foremost, all adaptogenic herbs are nontoxic. Secondly, they produce “a nonspecific response in the body.” This response is an increased resistance to stress from physical, biological, and chemical agents. Lastingly, all adaptogenic herbs help the body maintain homeostasis or to maintain normalcy, regardless of the direction in which a stressor causes change. For example, regardless of if blood sugar is too low or too high, an adaptogenic herb is said to help bring it back to a healthy and normal level. Some of the more prevalent adaptogenic herbs include Eleuthercoccus, Hawthorn Berry, Inonotus Oliquus, and Schizandra. In later research, it was revealed that all adaptogenic herbs also have antioxidant properties, meaning that an adaptogenic herb product is essentially a liquid antioxidant.

If you’re looking to add adaptogenic herbs to your line of health and dietary supplement products, then Vitarich Laboratories can help you.
