Adaptogens – what are they and how do they work?

Adaptogens are natural plant substances that help the body cope with stress by balancing and supporting its functions. Although the concept of adaptogens has gained popularity in recent years, their roots go back thousands of years to traditional healing practices in Asia, Russia, and India.

How do adaptogens work?

Adaptogens work by modulating the body’s response to stress—both physical and mental. They maintain the body’s homeostasis, or natural balance, by supporting the nervous, hormonal, and immune systems. This helps the body cope better with daily challenges such as fatigue, anxiety, or work overload.

The key role of medicinal mushrooms

Among adaptogens, medicinal mushrooms deserve special attention. Mushrooms such as reishi, lion’s mane, cordyceps, and chaga are known for their health-promoting and immune-supporting properties. Used for centuries in Eastern medicine, these mushrooms play a significant role in strengthening the body, improving concentration, and regulating energy levels.

The most popular adaptogenic mushrooms:

• Reishi – known as the “mushroom of immortality,” it has calming effects, supports sleep, and helps reduce stress.
• Lion’s mane – known for supporting brain function and memory, it helps improve concentration and sharpens the mind.
• Cordyceps militaris – enhances physical performance and increases energy levels, especially in physically active individuals.
• Chaga – a powerful antioxidant, it supports immunity and has anti-inflammatory properties.
