Break
the Chains of Stress and Anxiety
Your
heart races, your breathing becomes labored, and it feels
as if you've forgotten to do something extremely important
- something that might affect the outcome of your whole life,
but you can't put your finger on what it was. This is a panic
attack. Panic and anxiety as a result of high stress can take
a drastic toll on not only your mind, but your body as well.
When stress levels are high, your body releases cortisol,
also commonly known as the stress hormone. Cortisol is excreted
by the adrenal glands and help control functions of:
-
Blood pressure
-
Immunity
-
Glucose metabolism

Cortisol
is an important and necessary hormone that controls the release
of the "fight or flight" response. When stress becomes
a constant state in your life your body can excrete too much
cortisol, which can result in decreased bone density, high
blood pressure, blood sugar imbalances, lower immunity, increase
in abdominal fat, and more. Stress, unfortunately, is often
unavoidable; however, it is possible to help lower your cortisol
levels during periods of high stress.
Since you cannot eliminate stress from your life VÄXA
created Adapt. Adapt is designed
to help you better "adapt" or manage stress.

Cortisol levels during times of stress. Cortisol in excess
amounts is highly toxic, attacks muscle mass and organs, and
diminishes strength. Adapt contains
10 adaptogenic herbs including Rhodiola Rosea, a renowned
adaptogenic herb that when taken, results in increased energy,
stamina and endurance.
