The body's stress response system consists of the HPA Axis. Prolonged stress triggers the HPA Axis and consists of three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. The initial phase is the body's natural fight-or-flight response to danger which triggers the release of stress hormones including cortisol and DHEA. The resistance phase allows the body to continue buffering persistent exposure to stress, after the initial response has dissipated. The release of these hormones helps to support resistance to stress.

Extended periods of stress not only burden the system, creating an imbalance in cortisol and DHEA production but can also result in mental or physical exhaustion, nervous tension, irritability, and poor memory. Adaptogens like licorice root extract can help to block the metabolism of cortisol and support more sustained energy. Rhodiola Rosea extract has shown to increase resistance to a variety of stressors, boost mood, and mental clarity, as well as support a healthy sleep cycle which are all crucial aspects when it comes to managing stress.

Eleutherococcus senticosus is a strong adaptogenic botanical that helps to improve stress resilience and fight fatigue. Schisandra berry extract supports the body's stress response and promotes emotional wellness. Vitamins C and B help the body to extract energy from food, boosting energy levels, and synthesizing adrenal hormones.

Pantothenic acid (as calcium pantothenate), also known as vitamin B5, is one of the main nutrients involved in supporting adrenal function and the body's natural ability to respond to stress. It plays a crucial role in the synthesis of hormones that help regulate energy, metabolism, and overall stress response.

EquiLife's new plant-based formula also contains Cordyceps, an adaptogenic fungus that has been used in Chinese remedies for centuries to help your body adapt to stress, fatigue, nervousness, and other challenges.
