Ortho Adapt is AOR's special anti-stress formula, containing adrenal gland extract, the adaptogenic herbs ashwagandha, rhodiola, licorice, and Siberian ginseng, as well as vitamins C and B5. Adrenal gland extract is a proven way to provide key factors directly usable by the adrenal glands (also known as "anti-stress" glands) in a way that nutrients and herbs alone cannot. It is one of AOR's best-selling formulas, thanks to its effects on energy levels and a better ability to cope with stress.
Ortho Adapt was designed to help the body effectively manage stress by stimulating the adrenal glands and helping prevent adrenal insufficiency. Adaptogenic herbs are substances that support the body during times of stress. They activate the body's nonspecific defenses, redirecting the body's resources to provide the energy needed to actively engage with any stressor, whether physical, emotional, or environmental. Vitamins C and B5 are rapidly depleted during stress and are necessary for the adrenal glands to synthesize stress hormones. All of these factors contribute to the prevention of fatigue and burnout, increase energy levels, and promote the ability to cope with the situation.
Ortho Adapt can provide a boost to anyone who is stressed, tired, or trying to meet the demands of a fast-paced lifestyle at work, school, sports, or family life at home.
AOR's Ortho Adapt targets adrenal support from three angles, including adrenal extract to address all the adrenal needs, orthomolecules to prevent deficiencies in key coenzymes, and adaptogenic herbs to modulate the stress response. AOR uses whole licorice extract, as opposed to deglycyrrhizated licorice extract, since it is the glycyrrhizin in licorice that benefits the adrenals. Ortho Adapt is also available in a vegan formula, without glandular extract.
