Cardiovascular System

Adaptogenic extracts have a favorable influence on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, providing important support for people carrying out physical workloads. For example, athletes receiving Aralia mandshurica and working out heavily experienced a lower demand on the cardiovascular system.

In another observation of shift workers in the Siberian gas industry, the favorable influence of Eleutherococcus on the dynamics of the cardiovascular system and its protective effects during severe climatic and working conditions were also registered.

Adaptogens render a marked cardioprotective effect during painful emotional stress, contributing to a reduction in the adrenoreactivity of the heart and the degree of stress damage to the myocardium.
