Ortho Molecular TruAdapt Plus Stress Recovery Formula TruAdapt Plus contains a blend of adaptogenic botanicals and adrenal concentrate specifically formulated to support the body’s resistance to fatigue, improve attention and immune function, and aid in maintaining balanced cortisol and DHEA levels. Stress is defined as any disturbance—extreme cold or heat, psychological stress, sleep deprivation, work overload, physical trauma, as well as toxic exposure—that can trigger the stress response. The body’s stress response system is comprised of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Prolonged stress triggers the HPA axis and consists of three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. The initial, short-lived phase is the body’s normal fight-or-flight response to danger, characterized by elevated cortisol levels. The subsequent resistance phase allows the body to continue buffering extended stress exposure, long after the initial fight-or-flight response has dissipated. Hormones released by the adrenals, such as cortisol and DHEA, help support the resistance reaction. Extended periods of stress not only burden the system, creating an imbalance in cortisol and DHEA production, but can result in mental and physical fatigue, nervous tension, irritability, poor memory, and decreased immunity—all of which are characteristic of stage 3. TruAdapt Plus offers a unique blend of botanicals and adrenal concentrate that support the adrenal glands, as well as the body’s ability to counteract the negative effects of stress.

Holy Basil Holy basil is an adaptogenic herb that enhances the body’s stress and immune response. Positive therapeutic effects of holy basil have been shown with neurocognition, immunity and metabolism. Holy basil has been found to have a statistically significant promise to help support low mood and attention. Ashwagandha Root Extract Ashwagandha’s strong adaptogenic properties provide an array of benefits for individuals that have compromised health due to extreme stress exposure. Ashwagandha’s benefits include improving stress resilience, supporting immune response, regulating the sleep cycle, supporting healthy thyroid function and protecting against exhaustion of the nervous system. Ashwagandha has also been shown to be beneficial in supporting proper mood regulation and restoring a sense of calmness under stress. Adrenal Concentrate The use of glandular concentrates to supply key nutrients to support the body has been used in medicine for thousands of years. The concept behind glandular therapy is based on the idea that similar organ extracts from animals will support the same organ within humans by stimulating its activity. Adrenal bovine concentrate allows for rejuvenation of the adrenal stress system in a balanced and efficient manner. Rhodiola rosea Root Extract Rhodiola rosea has been categorized as an adaptogenic botanical due to its ability to increase resistance to a variety of stressors. Rhodiola has been studied extensively and is widely used in Eastern Europe and Asia to help support the nervous system, mood regulation, mental clarity, work performance and the sleep cycle. Within the central nervous system, Rhodiola has demonstrated an ability to preserve levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Rhodiola has been examined for its significant reduction of fatigue under stress. It has also shown significant improvements in mental performance, greater mood stability, and improved sleep patterns. Schisandra Berry Extract Schisandra is an adaptogenic botanical that has been used for centuries in China and Russia to help support mental clarity, stress response, and emotional wellness. It has been used with athletes and found to increase nitric oxide, a molecule which causes the blood vessels to expand, resulting in increased circulation, increased blood flow, and nutrients throughout the body. Schisandra berry has been shown to support learning and memory and may have some protective factors that support brain health. Licorice Root Extract The primary components in licorice root that support adrenal health include glycyrrhetic acid and glycyrrhizin. Licorice has also been shown to block 11-ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of cortisol to the inactive cortisone. When taken in small doses, licorice root extract can be used to maintain normal cortisol levels, an important factor for individuals who need to support adrenal hormone production and maintain healthy inflammatory pathways.
