This word is increasingly used, and it is a fact that the majority of the Spanish population does not know what it is. Do you want to know why they're one of our best allies? What are their benefits? Are there any contraindications?

Keep reading, we'll tell you everything in this post.

CONTEXT: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANCESTRAL AND CURRENT STRESS

Our body evolved to secrete a hormone in times of stress, cortisol. It increases our heart rate and Help to release energy, among other things. It was very useful for the physical stressors that humans have faced since ancient times (fleeing from an animal or fighting someone, for example).

The problem is that We have changed these peaks of stress for chronic stress situations (worries at work, rushing, lack of sleep, etc.) and your body reacts in kind. We don't give our bodies a break, and this chronic stress is behind multiple illnesses, including depression, obesity, anxiety attacks, and more.

"The time to relax is when you don't have time for it." - Jim Goodwin

Your body is able to adapt to a certain amount of stress, and sports and physical challenges are also challenges for our bodies. Your body doesn't know if you want to win an Olympics or if you're running to avoid being eaten. Therefore, it tries to adapt in case it has to face a similar challenge in the future. We gradually fill "our cup" with our daily activities and stressors (personal worries, lack of sleep, training, etc.), and there comes a time when, if we do nothing, it overflows.

ORIGIN OF ADAPTOGENS

During the Cold War the scientist Nicolai Lazarev began to search for substances that HelpThey helped the Russians improve performance in a high-stress situation.

He started searching plants that grew in hostile environments under the premise that if they were able to withstand great adversity, they must have developed compounds that if consumed by people, would Helplaugh to overcome stressful situations.

He studied thousands of plants and in the end... He found what he was looking for: he named them adaptogens.

Nicolai Lazarev, discoverer of adaptogens

For a substance to be adaptogenic, the following criteria must be met:

It must be harmless: They are safe for the human body and do not produce harmful or negative effects on the human body. Unlike medicinal plants, adatogens cannot have side effects, by definition.
Non-specific response in the body: They improve tolerance to any type of stressor: physical, chemical, or biological. For our body, insufficient sleep, excessive exercise, being overwhelmed, or not eating well are also stressors.
They regulate or normalize the body: They promote homeostasis, if an organism is depressed they stimulate it and if it is too active Help to calmarlo.
They can act bidirectionally and this characteristic is typical of adaptogens.

WHICH ADAPTOGENS TO TAKE

Given our current lifestyles, if we want to avoid the harmful effects of stress, perform better at work or in sports, and feel more energetic, turning to adaptogens makes perfect sense. Baïa Food We spent some time asking ourselves this question. We have been working with the root of Andean macaThis Peruvian root was the main food of the Incas and we knew from our own experience that it was a great Help to control stress.

Increases performance and sexual desire (study); in this study It was found that rats supplemented with maca could swim for longer periods of time until exhaustion. Also Help to improve the symptoms of menopause in women (study)The effective dose is about 3g/day.

But we wanted to go a step further. We asked ourselves what else we could offer besides maca to be able to Helpto alleviate a problem as widespread as stress.

That's when we decided to make the best blend adaptogen on the market, with several premises: it had to be highly effective, easy to take, and delicious.

OUR PURE BLEND - NATURAL BALANCE

Analyzing studies, we saw that The adaptogen that had the most scientific evidence in its favor was ashwagandha.

Used since ancient times in Ayurvedic Medicine, its scientific name is Withania Somnifera.

In multiple studies it has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety (study). But it also increases testosterone ( study), perhaps for this reason it has proven to be anabolic (study) and also Help to improve sperm quality (study) and sexual function in women (study). Its effectiveness against arthritis has also been demonstrated, and it has anticancer properties (study) due to its compound withaferin A, effective against various types of tumors.

Most studies show effectiveness with the root of the plant, so we decided to use it in our blend he KSM-66 extract that comes exclusively from the root.

To make it delicious, we add pure Peruvian cacao and carob, without any added sweeteners or sugar. With just 10g a day, you'll be getting the effective dose of ashwagandha and maca, with a delicious cacao flavor.
