How our body works largely determines the results achieved in building muscle mass, reducing body fat, increasing muscle strength, or improving muscle endurance.
All this depends on the prevailing homeostasis of our body, i.e., the ability to maintain the stability of internal parameters in the system. In this case, it will be our body. Any disruption in the functioning of the hormonal system has a significant impact not only on the effects of training, but above all on our well-being and health. Nothing else affects our body as significantly as the right hormonal balance. Even a slight deviation in insulin production can cause problems with insulin resistance or diabetes. Cortisol level disorders, on the other hand, can cause significant changes in the body, including a decrease in testosterone levels, libido problems, insomnia, weakness, or even adrenal burnout, the consequences of which are irreversible.
Stress, poor nutrition, lack of activity, or lack of sleep can significantly disrupt our hormonal balance and cause a number of dangerous consequences.
So what can we do if we can't change our lifestyle but would like to restore our hormones to homeostasis?
In such a situation, it is definitely worth focusing on supplementing with adaptogens.
What are adaptogens?
Adaptogens are a group of substances whose task is to keep the processes in our body in balance, i.e., at the best possible level for proper functioning. It is worth mentioning a few of the best adaptogens that everyone should include in their supplementation several times a year: Ashwagandha, Rosacea, Ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, Astragalus, N-acetyl L-cysteine, Forskolin, Maca, Bacopa Monnieri, Cordyceps, Gotu Cola.
Who will benefit from adaptogen supplementation?
- People after a period of fat loss,
- In situations of high stress,
- In cases of insomnia or low sleep,
- In cases of hormonal disorders,
- For overall improvement of the body's immune system.
