Life Extension Adrenal Energy Formula, 120 Vcaps

When properly supported, the mechanism known as homeostasis enables the body to maintain its normal balance during stress, helping us to remain energized and focused.

Increasingly overwhelmed by stress, however, our bodies seldom get a chance to restore our natural equilibrium. The result is that an estimated 75%–90% of visits to primary care physicians are now related to the effects of stress.

Even more alarming is a recently published study16 linking stress with shorter telomeres (the caps on the ends of chromosomes), which is associated with accelerated aging!

Stress disrupts multiple biochemical pathways, including cortisol production, the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, pro-inflammatory enzyme production and neurotransmitter production. A pre-clinical study has shown that stress also inhibits neural plasticity (the growth of new connections between neurons in the brain)!

Fortunately, Life Extension has created a state-of-the-art formulation of botanical adaptogens, shown to modulate a broad range of factors to help relieve the effects of stress.

Adrenal Energy Formula combines four known stress-modulating extracts—Holy Basil, Cordyceps, Bacopa, and Ashwagandha—each scientifically validated to support homeostasis, even on the most stressful days.

Each of these extracts modulates a different set of stress related changes in the body’s chemistry. Combined, they may complement each other to provide complete adaptogenic stress defense! For those who are seeking protection from the effects of stress, Adrenal Energy Formula is a broad-spectrum, potent, and safe formulation for maintaining healthy energy and vitality!

Rhodiola can increase your stamina and endurance by increasing your red blood cell count.  Red blood cells (RBC) carry oxygen to muscles, and having a higher count can dramatically improve an athlete’s performance and delay fatigue.  Rhodiola works by boosting EPO also known as erythropoetin which stimulates RBC production.

According to a study published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism in 2004 rhodiola has anti-inflammatory benefits to cause rapid recovery of muscles and improved endurance. Rhodiola can calm your body when your system goes into a “fight or flight” mode from everyday stressors.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an herb that is extensively used in Ayurveda, the traditional health care system in India.  Ashwagandha is used as a general tonic and "adaptogen", helping the body adapt to stress. 

An adaptogen has the ability to calm and relax you- then give you the energy level you need. In addition, Ashwagandha has been shown to possess significant antioxidant activity as well as an ability to support a healthy immune system.
