Adaptogens

Traditional botanicals through a modern formulation lens

Adaptogens are a category of botanicals commonly discussed in relation to the body’s response to physical and mental stress. The term is widely used in modern functional nutrition, although different adaptogenic plants have very different histories, phytochemical profiles and levels of scientific evidence.

Ashwagandha, Rhodiola rosea, ginseng and chaga, for example, should not be treated as interchangeable simply because they may appear under the same broad category. Each contains different characteristic compounds and presents different formulation considerations

At xdose, this distinction is important. We select botanicals according to the purpose of the complete formula, the quality and specification of the raw material, the amount used, sensory compatibility and the available scientific knowledge - not simply because “adaptogen” is a popular word.

Our approach is to connect traditional botanical knowledge with modern food technology while keeping a clear line between scientific research and claims that can responsibly be made about a finished food product.
