Athletic Adaptogen is an Informed Sport- certified, encapsulated dietary supplement designed to enhance physical performance, support recovery, and promote overall well-being. It contains a blend of natural ingredients known for their adaptogenic, stress response modulating properties.

Athletic Adaptogen consists of two parts - Wake Up and Boost, each with different ingredients and functionality.

Adaptogens are a class of  natural substances, typically herbs or mushrooms, that help the body adapt to stress and promote overall balance and resilience. They can enhance the body's ability to cope with physical, mental, and emotional stressors. Adaptogens work through several mechanisms of action, including regulating stress hormones, balancing the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis, enhancing cellular energy production, reducing Inflammation and supporting neurotransmitter balance.

For optimal results, take Wake up regularly in the morning. Take Boost capsules 4-5 hours after Wake Up as an afternoon booster, or 1 hour before physical activity as a pre-workout.

The recommended daily dosage is 3 capsules of Wake Up and 3 capsules of Boost. This dose will provide all key  bioactive compounds in Athletic Adaptoden at doses that have been shown to be effective in scientific literature.

For optimal absorption it is recommended to take this supplement combined with  a small dose of dietary fats. 

Some of the key bioactive compounds in Ashwagandha, Ginseng, and Shilajit are fat soluble and can be better absorbed when taken healthy fats. Most of the bioactive compounds in Rhodiola, Eleuthero, and Cordyceps are water-soluble,  and are generally absorbed more efficiently when the stomach is not overly full.

This is an example of a response that you might give. It's good to be as thorough as possible in responses as that has a tendency to improve trust overall.

Both Wake Up and Boost are best used in cycles, with breaks in between periods of usage. Our standard recommended cycle is: 21 days of use, 7 day break, then repeat.

Cycling with regards to supplement use involves taking a supplement for a specific period, followed by a break before resuming use. This practice helps prevent tolerance, reduce potential side effects, and maintain the supplement's effectiveness.

Yes, you can freely adjust the cycle lengths to fit your schedule. We recommend longer use cycles for the effects to build properly, as opposed to for example a cycle of 5d/2d.

Results vary depending on individual factors and circumstances such as bodily status, stress levels, diet, exercise, and overall health. On average, the ergogenic effects of Athletic Adaptogen start to build 4-7 days from the start of supplementation and strengthen up to 21 days. Some effects, such as increased energy levels and wakefulness, may be acute.

Validating and monitoring the efficacy of Athletic Adaptogen can be achieved by using wearables to track average resting heart rates, HRV, sleep, respiratory rate and activity levels, along with biomarker testing for cortisol, testosterone, inflammatory markers, and glucose levels. Additionally, subjective measures of stress, mood, and quality of life can provide valuable insights. For testosterone and cortisol monitoring, Summa Labs’ Hormone Monitoring Kit is a good option.
