The word Adaptogen, refers to a natural herb product that increases the body's resistance to stresses such as trauma, anxiety and bodily fatigue.
Adaptogen studies go back into the 1940's with studies on stress by physician Hans Selye. Adaptogens began being used extensively by Russian cosmonauts, elite Russian athletes, and the Russian Chess players, in 1969 when the Soviet Union stepped out into the international arena as a dominant force. The breakthrough by Brekhman & Dardymov was kept secret from the rest of the world until a former Soviet Olympic coach, Dr. Ben Tabachnik, began introducing the Russian adaptogen formula when he emigrated to the United States in 1990. The unique formula of adaptogens discovered by Brekhman is now being marketed in the United States through a laboratory in Florida, and we are now offering this unique product. Scientific evidence has shown that this unique combination of adaptogens can successfully combat the negative effects of stress, improve health and well-being, and enhance athletic performance (Avery, 1995).
The discovery by Brekhman paved the way for a large number of clinical trials and experimental studies on the health and performance benefits of adaptogens. Some of the latest scientific evidence shows that adaptogenic substances can increase the ability of cells to manufacture and use cell fuel more efficiently in periods of stress and strain (Avery, 1995). In particular, these substances appear to increase the capacity of cells to use energy by activating MRNA (messengers) and TRNA (transporters). Adaptogens also act as anti-oxidants, protecting cellular membranes from the adverse effects of free radical build up (Avery, 1995). (3,4)
