Master Adoptogens organic 120g

A triple Maca blend (red, yellow and black Maca) fortified with the popular nerve tonic, Ashwagandha, and 3 potent, adaptogenic herbs: Reishi, Gynostemma and Red Ginseng. This functional adaptogen complex is specifically formulated to realign imbalances caused by stress and revitalise the body's resilience. Adaptogens are said to help reduce the body's sensitivity to stress by helping maintain its balance and energy efficiency. Although the body will continue to experience internal and external stress, adaptogens may help harmonise the dramatic biological responses to stress by potentially supporting our nervous system, cellular integrity, energy, immune system and hormone regulation. FOOD FOR THOUGHT Stress changes the mind-body from a proactive to a reactive state. Proactive (parasympathetic) processes like digestion, detoxification, tissue repair, learning, neurogenesis, etc. are given fewer resources in order to prioritize the reactive (sympathetic) state. This is a fight, flight or freeze state and it's only designed to run for a short period of time in response to a perceived threat. When stress is chronic, your mind-body doesn't return to a proactive state (homeostasis) of resource allocation. Instead, more energy is used to fuel fight or flight (or freeze) and less is given to the immune system, building new brain cells, repairing tissues, absorbing and processing nutrition, learning, etc. Adaptogens are said to help guide the system back to a state of homeostasis during prolonged exposure to stress.
