Description
Highlights:
• Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng) and Ashwagandha (Indian ginseng or Withania) – the ginseng family of herbs possesses a unique property of aiding in the regeneration and enhanced function of hypothalamic cortisol receptors, providing an amphoteric effect (can act as a base and an acid), which allows the body to better self-regulate cortisol levels
• Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice root) – licorice potentiates and extends the serum life of cortisol, thereby lessening the demand on the adrenal cortex during stressful conditions
• N-Acetyl-tyrosine – included as a critical building block of various neurotransmitters, thyroid hormones, and catecholamines (often depleted under chronic stress conditions)
Also included are vitamin C, pantothenic acid (B5), vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) and vitamin B2 (as Riboflavin-5-Phosphate), all playing critical roles as enzyme co-factors in the balanced production of stress hormones.
