Bioclinic Naturals AdrenaSense
Feature Summary: Bioclinic Naturals AdrenaSense
- Used in Herbal Medicine to help improve mental and/or physical performance after periods of mental and/or physical exertion.
- Ashwagandha is traditionally used in Ayurveda as a nerve tonic and memory enhancer.
- Cognitive benefits of rhodiola appear to be linked to its ability to inhibit the breakdown of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, helping to maintain neurotransmitter levels in the cerebral cortex, brain stem, and hypothalamus. It is believed the changes in monoamine levels are due to inhibition of the activity of enzymes responsible for monoamine degradation and facilitation of neurotransmitter transport within the brain.2
- The ergogenic effect of Siberian ginseng leads to improving heart rate recovery after physical exercise, as well as aiding lactic acid elimination and improving aerobic metabolism through increased oxygen uptake and use of fatty acids for energy.15
- Schisandra appears to inhibit the neurotoxic activity of glutamate.16 Ashwagandha acts on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis to regulate serum cortisol concentrations.17
- Ashwagandha also inhibits overactive nerve cells in the brain leading to calming effects.18 Lastly, ashwagandha may act as a gamma amino-butyric acid (GABA) mimetic agent providing calming and anxiolytic effects.9 The activation of GABA receptors favours sleep.19
