About HPA Adapt

HPA Adapt combines five powerful adaptogenic herbs, including Rhodiola, Ashwagandha, Eleuthero, Maca, and Holy Basil, to maintain a healthy stress response. The ingredients support stress hormone balance via the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

HPA Adapt - Supporting Stress Hormone Balance via the HPA Axis with Adaptogenic Herbs*

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, or HPA axis, is the central part of the stress response system. It involves a complex set of interactions and feedback loops between the hypothalamus, the pituitary, and the adrenal glands. The HPA axis also plays a role in the regulation of other systems of the body, including the gastrointestinal, neurological, and immune systems. Therefore, supporting optimal HPA axis function is important to maintaining overall health and wellness.

• Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb historically used in Ayurveda to enhance well-being, support restful sleep, and reduce occasional anxiety.*4 A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (N =39) evaluated the adaptogenic effects of ashwagandha.

• A member of the mint family, holy basil enhances the body's natural response to physical and emotional stress.* Compounds isolated from the herb’s leaves were shown to normalize plasma cortisol levels in an animal model.*9 Another animal study found that extracts of holy basil decreased serum concentrations of cortisol.*10 A clinical trial with 35 subjects demonstrated a decrease in stress and occasional anxiety after 60 days of supplementation with holy basil.* The participants also showed improved attention and an increased ability to adapt to change.*11
