Adaptogens

Adaptogens are compounds that help the body adapt to and buffer stress. They can be found in food, such as vitamins and micronutrients, but consuming a large amount of these foods is necessary to obtain sufficient dosages. Another category of adaptogens is supplements or drugs that can reduce reactive oxygen species, which are molecules that occur in cells when they are stressed or aging. Antioxidants, which are compounds that reduce reactive oxygen species, are important for cell function and energy production. As cells and biological systems age or experience stress, the number of reactive oxygen species increases, making antioxidants beneficial.
