A powerhouse in traditional medicines for at least 6000 years, ashwagandha is an adaptogen with myriad bioactive abilities. In Chinese and Ayurvedic practices, it was used as energy tonics as a cure-all that supports health and vitality. Today, clinical research suggests this multitalented green is useful for stress, physical performance, and more.

Studies indicate this multi-talented adaptogen helps keep our cortisol levels in the optimal range by attenuating the response of the HPA axis to stressors. Lower reactivity and cortisol levels means less strain on the body from fighting stress, leaving us free to produce natural energy reserves during the day and get better quality recovery at night. ²

Maca is an adaptogen that supports your body’s ability to adapt to or resist what's going on in and around it, like physical and mental stress. A cruciferous vegetable native to South America, maca is also a superfood that’s been used in Peruvian societies for up to 6000 years, and was domesticated over 2000 years ago. Traditionally, maca has been used for nutrition, energy, fertility, and was so valuable it was even used as a currency in some Pre-Columbian societies.

In the West, maca became a popular adaptogen in the early aughts for its energy-boosting and libido-boosting effects. Clinical research supports both these uses, and also indicates that maca may boost the body’s stress response, improve physical performance, and support mood. ³

Also known as Siberian ginseng, eleuthero is a cousin of Panax ginseng, which is the standard ginseng we know. Eleuthero has been used for centuries, but was rediscovered in modern times when ginseng started to become scarce. Russian scientists searching for a vitality booster that acted like ginseng fell upon its just-as-talented relative: eleuthero.

Studies have shown this adaptogenic herb can boost energy, metabolism, and physical performance while also having a positive effect on cardiovascular health. In fact, the clinical support for eleuthero is so solid that the WHO recognizes its usefulness: “As a prophylactic and restorative tonic for enhancement of mental and physical capacities in cases of weakness, exhaustion and tiredness, and during convalescence.” ⁴

When we consume caffeine, our bodies break it down into three metabolites: theobromine, theophylline, and paraxanthine. Most of them are converted to paraxanthine, which is the safest metabolite responsible for clean, sustained energy without side effects.
