What is an adaptogen?

Adaptogens are natural herbs and plant compounds that help your body adapt to stress and maintain balance. Key adaptogens used in this recipe include:

• Ashwagandha – a traditional Ayurvedic herb derived from Withania somnifera, known to help balance cortisol levels and reduce stress and anxiety.¹https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6979308/
• Complete Mushroom Blend – Reishi, Shiitake, Lion’s Mane, and other mushrooms that support brain function, digestion, and immunity.²https://www.chucklinggoat.co.uk/the-power-of-medicinal-mushrooms
