The study proposes a way to reduce stress and anxiety by regulating the HPA and gut-brain axes with an adaptogenic blend. When an organism is under stress, the hypothalamus signals the pituitary gland, which sends a signal to the adrenal gland to produce cortisol. Adaptogens can reduce the amount of cortisol in the bloodstream and thus manage stress and anxiety.
