Ortho Molecular Products NuAdapt
Provides Antioxidants to Protect Against Oxidative Damage.
Helps Improve Mental and/or Physical Performance After Periods of Mental and Physical Exertion.
Helps Relieve General Weakness/Fatigue and/or to Aid During Recovery.
Fatigue is a psychobiological state caused by prolonged periods of demanding activity and exertion. Fatigue can be either mental or physical in nature and can start affecting performance. Convalescence is defined medically as the time between the diminishment of a disease and complete restoration to health, and it is characterized by the gradual recovery of health and strength after an extended period of weakness due to disease. Reactive oxygen species and other free radicals can lead to oxidative stress, which damages cells and is associated with a variety of human diseases.
NuAdapt provides a unique blend of botanicals and ingredients that can help improve mental and/or physical performance after periods of mental and physical exertion, help relieve fatigue and weakness during convalescence, and provide antioxidants to protect against oxidative damage.
L-Theanine
L-theanine is an amino acid found abundantly in green tea and is associated with antioxidant effects, including lowering the activity of hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid. In research, L-theanine has also demonstrated a protective role against oxidative stress by decreasing nitric oxide and an increasing the status of antioxidants.
Phosphatidylserine
Antioxidant activity has been demonstrated by phosphatidylserine on lipid peroxidation induced by iron. It is suspected that its antioxidant activity is due to its ability to bind iron and suppress the iron-dependent decomposition of peroxides.
Bacopa monierri
Bacopa monierri offers neuroprotection and antioxidant effects to reduce oxidative stress.
Ashwagandha Root Extract
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has been shown to decrease levels of oxidants, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and reducing oxidative stress, as well as increasing the levels of antioxidant enzymes in the seminal plasma.
Rhodiola rosea Root Extract
Rhodiola rosea has been demonstrated to increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase.
Eleuthero Root Extract
Eleutherococcus senticosus is used in Western herbal medicine for indications such as temporary fatigue and general debility. In addition, it has been recognized to help with performance after exertion according to Western herbal medicine.
