According to current knowledge, an adaptogen can be considered a substance/plant that has an immune-stimulating effect, reduces activity in the central nervous system (sedating effect), improves brain function, increases physical performance during increased training load and is also an antioxidant. There are many plants and mushrooms in nature with adaptogenic properties, which differ in structure, but all meet the above criteria.

Plants known today as adaptogens have been used by many Eastern cultures for thousands of years. The substances obtained from the plants were very popular. They would give men strength and women fertility. Adaptogens were popular not only in the Far East. They were also used by Native Americans and some African tribes. Today, adaptogens are popular mainly thanks to Ayurvedic medicine.

Regular intake of adaptogenic substances helps to restore natural balance. This process can be described as the body's "natural intelligence".
