Adaptogenic Support

Meaning

Adaptogenic support refers to the utilization of specific botanicals or compounds that help the body maintain homeostatic balance, particularly within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This clinical approach aims to enhance an organism’s non-specific resistance to various stressors, including physical, chemical, and biological challenges. Optimal hormonal health is often contingent upon a resilient stress response system. The goal is to modulate the physiological response to chronic or acute stress, preventing the excessive depletion or overstimulation of endocrine reserves.
