Normalizing Effect

Adaptogens have an important normalizing effect on all bodily functions. In studies of an icebreaker’s crew on an extended Arctic voyage, after 4 months of sailing, Rhaponticum extract had a normalizing effect on the central nervous and cardiovascular systems, leading to improved sleep, appetite, mood, general mental and physical state and general enhancement of the functional ability of humans under working conditions.

In experiments simulating the effects of extreme changes in altitude on mountain rescue workers, the normalizing action of adaptogens on metabolic disorders occurring under such conditions was revealed. According to the data, adaptogens have a normalizing action on the synthesis of RNA during stress. Adaptogens also contribute to the normalization of protein, vitamin and water-salt metabolism. Extremes in bodily functions like high cholesterol, low hemoglobin levels, irregular sugar contents and abnormal blood pressure may be normalized with the support of adaptogens, which activate and regulate normal and efficient blood circulation. At the same time, the use of adaptogens in no way disrupts the function of these bodily systems.
