Nootropics and Adaptogen Blends
We all have those days when our morning is dragging along, our mind is elsewhere, and before we know it, we are in bed wide awake thinking about all the tasks we have rolling over to our to-do list for tomorrow. I’ve had these days more often than not, until I upgraded my self care tool box with the newest Cured products – nootropics and adaptogen blends: RISE and ZEN.
These two carefully formulated products will allow you to RISE into your morning with crystal clear focus and clean energy without jitters or an afternoon crash, to then ease into your evening as you wash away your stress while supporting a deep, ZEN-ful night of restful sleep.
First thing first, before diving into each healing power these capsules contain, lets get familiar with nootropics and adaptogens:
Nootropics
Nootropics can do many positive things for the brain — enhancing brain energy, neurotransmitters, cerebral circulation, neuroprotection, brain waves, regeneration and more. By optimizing the brain, true nootropics are unique among nutritional supplements for their ability to enhance virtually every aspect of your life performance — no matter who you are or what you do.
Nootropics can be used in many ways, for diverse aspects of brainpower.
The day time nootropic blend, RISE contains:
- Lions Mane
- Cordyceps
- Vitamin B complex
- a microdose of Colorado CBD
Those elements are combined with the mood boosting adaptogens like
- Rhodiola
- American Ginseng
- Huperzine (also known as Siberian Ginseng), Gotu Kola
has the ability to provide benefits including:
- decrease fatigue and exhaustion:
- Nootropics are appealing energy boosters because they work without the use of stimulants, eliminating any unpleasant stim-related side effects.
- Nootropics are instead suggested to boost brain energy because they:
- Support healthy blood flow to the brain, which supplies oxygen and glucose that are burned for energy
- Optimize brain cells’ mitochondria power plants for efficient production of energy
- Strengthen the brain’s resistance to stress. Stressful, fast-paced, multitasking activities can all leave the brain feeling overworked and exhausted.
- improve concentration and memory:
- Nootropics have a long history of use for improving memory. Traditionally, brain boosters were taken mostly by mature adults experiencing age-associated memory impairment
- Natural memory enhancers are known to be far more versatile and easier on the body— optimizing performance-oriented memory functions in both short and long term memory in addition to helping with age-related memory concerns.
- ease stress and anxiety:
- Nootropics for stress may help in a numerous ways – including by strengthening the body’s resistance to stress, replenishing brain chemicals that are depleted by stress, and naturally promoting feelings of relaxation.
- naturally increase energy, endurance, and strength:
- Nootropics are appealing energy boosters because they work without the use of stimulants, eliminating any unpleasant stim-related side effects
- Nootropics are instead suggested to boost brain energy because they:
- Support healthy blood flow to the brain, which supplies oxygen and glucose that are burned for energy
- Optimize brain cells’ mitochondria power plants for efficient production of energy
- Strengthen the brain’s resistance to stress. Stressful, fast-paced, multitasking activities can all leave the brain feeling exhausted
- Healthy brain energy metabolism is important because the brain consumes 20% of the body’s energy.
- provide the essential antioxidants
- boost immune support
- enhancement in creativity
- Nootropics can affect many of the brain functions that are linked to creativity, such as mood, relaxation and focus. But of course, creativity is impossible to measure and validate with clinical research.
- Nootropics for creativity are theoretical, but it seems to make sense that the benefits of nootropics like Rhodiola, found in CURED Rise may help to promote the energized, motivated mindset that propels creative vision to artistic realization.
- heighten motivation
- Motivation and drive are important contributors to cognitive function and overall life performance. Without motivation and drive, RISING into your morning can be hard.
- Nootropics may help, potentially by regulating the brain chemical dopamine.
- Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that drives us to achieve by rewarding us with pleasure upon accomplishment. Issues with dopamine have been linked to low motivation and related concerns like poor mental energy, sluggish mood, and slow cognitive processing.
Adaptogens are non-toxic plants that are marketed as helping the body resist stressors of all kinds, whether physical, chemical or biological. These herbs and roots have been used for centuries in Chinese and Ayurvedic healing traditions, but they’re having a renaissance today.
Each one claims to do something a little different, ranging from helping your body handle stress to bring your back into balance.
The nighttime adaptogen blend, ZEN contains:
- Reishi
- Synergistic Blend
- Skullcap
- Passionflower
- Ashwagandha
- Chamomile Extract
plus the calming ease of
- Magnesium
- a heaping dose of CBD
has the ability to provide benefits including:
- boost immunity
- In many adaptogens like Reishi, contain antioxidants which protect cells from oxidative damage. With this protection comes the ability to be more resilient and respond to threats properly.
- balance hormones
- Adaptogens support the hormone system, promote relaxation in periods of stress and help boost energy in periods of physical and emotional exhaustion.
- reduce stress, depression, and anxiety
- In several human studies show that adaptogens, including ashwaganda decreases anxiety, stress, c-reactive protein and cortisol. The decrease in cortisol is worth talking about, when cortisol levels are balanced, your body is out of fight or flight mode (reducing the likelihood of unwanted weight gain, and over tax on your adrenals)
- increases sense of well-being
- Studies do show that in healthy people, ginseng does have a mood-boosting effect and can increase calm and improve memory and performance.
With these two new supplements, you will be able to RISE into the morning with stamina and ZEN out in ease with the natural healing love of nootropics and adaptogen blends.
I welcome you to RETHINK YOUR APPROACH to health, happiness, and healing.
