Some key characteristics and examples of Nootropics and Adaptogens include:

• Stress Response: it is believed they help modulate the body’s response to stress by supporting the adrenal glands and the production of stress hormones like cortisol.
• Homeostasis: One of the primary claims associated with adaptogens is their ability to help the body maintain balance and resist the adverse effects of stress.
• Non-Specific Action: it is thought that Adaptogens help the body adapt to a wide range of stressors rather than targeting a specific organ or system.
• Normalising Effects: Adaptogens are believed to have normalising effects on physiological functions. For example, they might help regulate energy levels, immune functions and blood pressure.
