JUST SO YOU CAN KNOW

ADAPTOGENS – are plants/herbs, roots, and fungi such as mushrooms that help the body adjust and respond to stress, fatigue, anxiety by bringing the body back to a healthy balance of homeostasis.

ANTIOXIDANTS – are free-radical fighters. Antioxidants are extracted from foods and their main job is to prevent or reduce the damage in the body caused by oxidation.

FREE RADICALS – are unstable molecules produced by the body when the body is exposed to different conditions and stresses. The presence of free radicals in the body is maintained by a balance of antioxidants. If free radicals take over the body, a condition called ‘oxidative stress’ settles in the body, resulting in alteration in DNA, proteins, and lipids and leading to various diseases.

MINERALS – are inorganic micronutrients found in soil and water that are absorbed by plants. Inorganic micronutrients retain their chemical structure. The role of major minerals is to maintain a proper balance of water in the body.

VITAMINS – are organic micronutrients made by plants. Organic micronutrients can be broken down by air, acid, or heat. Vitamins and minerals interact with one another.
