Athletic Adaptogen The Benchmark Adaptogen for Sports Athletic Adaptogen is formulated to contribute to better performance by optimizing dynamic hormonal responses and energy metabolism and by reducing fatigue – and to do so without any increase in oxygen consumption or heat generation. Particular attention has been paid to its anabolic and anti-catabolic hormone-modulating properties. Its effects accumulate over time and are more pronounced when tired, stressed or under heavy load. Athletic Adaptogen is based on a combination of adaptogens – a class of botanicals with the ability to increase stress resilience on a cellular level by modulating the way organs react to stress. Adaptogens are capable of modulating the production and release of neurotransmitters, hormones and proteins, the rates of oxygen, protein, fat and carbohydrate utilization, and behavior of key physiological parameters such as the heart rate and respiratory rate. Athletic Adaptogen comes in two functional, separately encapsulated parts – one taken in the morning and the other as a pre-workout. This setup extends its duration of effect during the day. The effects of Athletic Adaptogen supplementation start on average 4-7 days from the start and strengthen up to 21 days, and after peaking slowly start to abate towards baseline over six months. A break in use will restore its peak efficacy. Athletic Adaptogen is best used cyclically, with breaks in use to maintain its long-term efficacy and to time its peak efficacy. The recommended standard cycle is 28 days: 21 days of use followed by a 7-day break. Informed Sport Certified – Athletes can trust in Athletic Adaptogens safety and compliance with doping regulations. Every batch is rigorously tested for banned substances. Complete adaptogen for sports – Athletic Adaptogen is designed to replace multiple single adaptogens by providing a comprehensive and cost-effective adaptogenic blend of bioactive compounds in a single package. Combining multiple adaptogens is known to strengthen and extend their effectiveness. Natural – Athletic Adaptogen contains natural ingredients only. All ingredients of Athletic Adaptogen are in the form of highly enriched, standardized extracts for optimal efficacy. Small-batch manufactured – Athletic Adaptogen is manufactured to order in Finland in small batches, with every package inspected by hand. Data-backed – Athletic Adaptogen has been rigorously tested in heavy going across multiple sports, with its effects monitored. It offers robust anabolic and anti-catabolic hormone modulating properties, and individuals may also notice its activity from improvements in their resting heart rate and other hr parameters, lactic acid levels, respiratory rate and RPE. Optimized absorption – Besides adaptogens as the main bioactive compounds, Athletic Adaptogen contains ingredients that improve absorption and bioavailability of the blend Safe – Adaptogens have no tolerance build-up and no abuse potential. They do not alter the state of consciousness and their long-term use has not been reported to cause side effects. A washout period of +14 days eliminates the effects of Athletic Adaptogen. Clean – Athletic Adaptogen does not contain additives, fillers, preservatives or artificial flavours or colours. It is nut, dairy and gluten free, and does not contain egg or dairy. INGREDIENTS WAKE UP Ashwagandha: This ancient herb, widely recognized in Ayurvedic medicine, is renowned for its potent physical and mental stress-reducing properties, making it particularly beneficial for athletes. Ashwagandha has been shown to improve muscle strength, recovery time, and endurance, aiding athletes in enhancing performance and adapting to extended heavy load. Cordyceps Sinensis: This unique fungus is prized for its ability to influence testosterone production and to increase oxygen uptake and ATP production, crucial for energy metabolism. Athletes use Cordyceps to boost aerobic capacity, endurance, and resistance to fatigue, making it a valuable supplement for endurance sports. Shilajit: Shilajit, a sticky herbomineral substance found primarily in the rocks of the Himalayas, is rich in fulvic acid, di-benzo pyrones and a full spectrum of trace minerals. Shilajit is capable of enhancing energy production and oxygen efficiency, which are crucial for athletic performance. Shilajit's potential to improve stamina, reduce fatigue, and support muscle recovery make it a valuable supplement for athletes seeking to enhance their physical performance and endurance. BOOST Eleuthero (AKA Siberian Ginseng): Eleuthero is celebrated for its ability to enhance endurance and mental performance. In sports, its use can lead to improved cardiovascular functions and quicker recovery times, supporting athletes in sustaining higher levels of physical activity over extended periods. Panax Ginseng: Known as a powerful adaptogen, Panax Ginseng boosts energy levels and enhances physical performance. It has been found to increase nitric oxide production, which helps dilate blood vessels and enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles. In sports it has potential to increase stamina, reduce fatigue, and improve concentration, helping athletes achieve peak performance. Rhodiola Rosea: Rhodiola is known for improving energy metabolism, reducing recovery time, and fighting fatigue. Its adaptogenic qualities are particularly useful in sports for enhancing physical performance, mental focus, and the body's stress response, contributing to improved endurance and resilience. SUPPORTING COMPOUNDS Piperine: An alkaloid responsible for the pungency of black pepper, piperine has an important role in nutritional science and functional medicine. It enhances the bioavailability of various micronutrients by increasing the permeability of the intestinal lining and by inhibiting enzymes that metabolize nutritional compounds, thereby increasing their absorption in the body. In sports nutrition, piperine is valued for its potential to improve metabolism, support weight management, and enhance the absorption of supplements aimed at boosting performance and recovery. Acerola is a significant source of Vitamin C, containing far more of this essential nutrient per gram than oranges and citrus fruits. Vitamin C significantly enhances the absorption of plant-based compounds, particularly those that are iron-rich. This characteristic is crucial for maximizing the nutritional value of plant-based diets and supplements, making Vitamin C a key nutrient for improving the overall effectiveness of consuming plant-derived compounds.
