Adaptogenic herbs are substances that provide support to the body during times of stress. They activate whole-body, nonspecific defenses, redirecting the body’s resources to provide energy for active engagement with any stressor, whether physical, emotional or environmental. Vitamins C and B5 are quickly depleted during stress and are required by the adrenal glands to make stress hormones. All of these factors work together to prevent fatigue and burnout, boost energy levels and support the ability to cope.
AOR Advantage
AOR’s Ortho Adapt® targets adrenal support from three different angles: adrenal extract to supply all the needs of the adrenals, orthomolecules to prevent deficiencies of key co-enzymes, and adaptogenic botanicals to modulate the stress response. AOR™ uses whole licorice extract, as opposed to deglycyrrizinated licorice extract, since it is the glycyrrhizin in licorice that benefits the adrenals. Ortho Adapt® is also available in a vegan formula without the glandular extract.
