Ingredients explained
Ashwagandha extract (KSM-66) (Withania somnifera) root
Ashwagandha’s withanolides interact with stress-related signaling pathways and the HPA axis, which may help promote a balanced cortisol response and calm mood.
Caution: May cause drowsiness or gastrointestinal upset in some people; avoid if pregnant or nursing as advised on the label.
Asian Ginseng extract (Panax ginseng) root
Panax ginseng ginsenosides influence cellular energy metabolism and stress-response pathways, which may help support mental and physical stamina.
Caution: May be stimulating and could affect sleep or interact with caffeine; use earlier in the day if sensitive.
Eleuthero extract (Eleutherococcus senticosus) root
Eleuthero’s eleutherosides are studied for modulating the stress response and supporting endurance by influencing adrenal and nervous system activity.
Caution: May be stimulating for some individuals; monitor for jitteriness or sleep changes.
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant and cofactor in adrenal hormone synthesis, which may help the body cope with oxidative stress.
Caution: Can cause mild stomach upset in higher amounts; taking with food may improve tolerance.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate)
Active vitamin B6 serves as a coenzyme in neurotransmitter synthesis that may support mood and stress resilience.
Caution: High intakes over time may cause tingling or numbness; follow label directions.
How they work together
Adaptogenic botanicals like ashwagandha, Panax ginseng, and eleuthero act on stress response pathways and energy systems, while vitamin C and active B vitamins provide cofactors for hormone and neurotransmitter production. Together they cover immediate stress adaptation and foundational nutrient support to handle daily demands.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Do not use if pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive.
Who should be cautious: People with high blood pressure, heart concerns, or using stimulant medications may want to use caution due to ginseng and licorice. Those with hormone-sensitive concerns may wish to discuss ashwagandha with a healthcare provider. Individuals with autoimmune concerns or taking immunosuppressants may wish to use caution with ashwagandha, astragalus, and ginseng. If you take blood pressure medications, blood thinners, or have liver concerns, discuss ginger and licorice with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
