The Benefits Of Adapt Drinks

Adapt Drinks Relax is a functional beverage that has been designed to help you relax and unwind. A functional drink is one that has more benefits than simply the macronutrients you consume.

To create a drink that helps you relax we use the following functional ingredients:

Schisandra Berry Extract (an adaptogen or adaptogenic herb)

Schisandra berry, often referred to as the "five-flavor fruit," has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine for its adaptogenic properties. This powerful berry is known to help the body adapt to stress, reducing cortisol levels and promoting a sense of calm. Schisandra also supports cognitive function and mental clarity, which can alleviate feelings of overwhelm, making it easier to unwind after a long day. Its antioxidant properties help combat fatigue, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to relax.

Supports hormonal balance - A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Schisandra chinensis for menopausal symptoms - conclusion -  Schisandra chinensis can be a safe and effective complementary medicine for menopausal symptoms, especially for hot flushes, sweating, and heart palpitations.

Reduces stress - Effects of Adaptogens on the Central Nervous System and the Molecular Mechanisms Associated with Their Stress—Protective Activity - conclusion - recent pharmacological studies of a number of adaptogens have provided a rationale for these effects also at the molecular level. It was discovered that the stress—protective activity of adaptogens was associated with regulation of homeostasis via several mechanisms of action, which was linked with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the regulation of key mediators of stress response

Boosts energy - Pharmacology of Schisandra chinensis Bail.: an overview of Russian research and uses in medicine - conclusion - In healthy subjects, Schizandra increases endurance and accuracy of movement, mental performance and working capacity, and generates alterations in the basal levels of nitric oxide and cortisol in blood and saliva with subsequent effects on the blood cells, vessels and CNS.

Enhances cognitive function - An overview of neuroprotective and cognitive enhancement properties of lignans from Schisandra chinensis - conclusion -  In the current review, we highlight the lignans from S. chinensis as promising resources for the development of natural and effective agents for neuroprotective and cognitive enhancement effects.

Panax Ginseng Extract (an adaptogen or adaptogenic herb)

Panax ginseng, another revered adaptogen, is renowned for its ability to balance the body's stress response. It helps regulate hormones and supports the adrenal glands, which play a crucial role in managing stress. By reducing stress and anxiety levels, Panax ginseng allows your body to relax more naturally. Additionally, it enhances mental focus and energy without causing the jitteriness associated with caffeine, making it easier to shift into a state of relaxation.

For those of you who would like to see the studies on the benefits of the adaptogen panax ginseng here are some you can checkout:

Supports hormonal balance - Effects of ginseng on stress-related depression, anxiety, and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis - conclusion - Panax ginseng helps regulate hormone secretion by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, improving the body's response to stress

Reduces stress - Effects of ginseng on stress-related depression, anxiety, and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis - conclusion - Ginseng provides a potential approach to regaining homeostasis after abnormal physiological changes caused by the stress of everyday life.

Enhances cognitive function - Ginsenosides: A Potential Neuroprotective Agent - conclusion - Modern pharmacological studies have shown that it has a regulatory effect on the central nervous system. Ginseng can strengthen the cerebral cortex excitatory and inhibitory processes and reduce the fatigue of the brain process. 

Supports immune health - Adaptogenic effects of Panax ginseng on modulation of immune functions - conclusion - Ginseng has been shown to enhance host immunity both actively and passively.

L-theanine (an amino acid)

L-theanine is an amino acid found in tea leaves, particularly green tea. It's celebrated for its ability to promote relaxation without drowsiness. L-theanine works by increasing the levels of calming neurotransmitters, such as GABA, serotonin, and dopamine, in the brain. This results in a state of calm and relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety while improving mood and focus. When combined with the other adaptogens in Adapt Drinks Relax, L-theanine helps create a balanced, tranquil experience, allowing you to unwind naturally.

For those of you who would like to see the studies on the benefits of l-theanine here are some you can checkout:
