Adaptogens encompass a variety of medicinal herbs, mushrooms and plant-derived compounds that assist the body and all of its anatomical systems adapt to stressors, and have been used for hundreds of years in Eastern and Ayurvedic medicines.
Stress takes many forms, among them anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, exposure to environmental- and food-based toxins, and lack of physical activity.
On physical and emotional levels, stressors affect both humans and animals via the ‘stress hormone,’ known as cortisol. When stress continues to build up without an outlet, cortisol is released by the body on a long-term basis. This results in our anatomical systems functioning ineffectively. Either the body is producing too much cortisol to combat stress, or is not producing enough.
When the body is producing too much, or too little cortisol, it is not in equilibrium — or homeostasis — the way a healthy body should be.
Enter the intelligence of adaptogens.
Have a look at the root word of adaptogens — adapt. These magical herbs, mushrooms and plants can literally adapt in order to remedy whatever the body needs support with — rebalancing what’s lacking, or what’s being over-produced.
In addition to offering a daily dose of pure CBD oil, our treat varieties each feature a unique blend of adaptogens — so pet parents can harness the benefits of CBD while simultaneously targeting more specific health issues in their pets.
