Known for their ability to regulate stress, promote homeostasis, and improve overall wellbeing, adaptogens are a medicine cabinet staple.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause of the way that our society is set up, stress is super normalized and people are often experiencing it at really high levels,\u201d says Taylor Rae, a community herbalist, herbal educator, and founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raeflowerholistics.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raeflower Holistics<\/a>. \u201cOver time that has a lot of negative side effects on our body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>As they have become increasingly popular, and more of us are experiencing their myriad health benefits, it\u2019s important to explore how to take adaptogens to get the most out of these powerful plants. From choosing the right supplement to cycling adaptogens for maximum benefits, read on for expert-backed tips.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-find-your-adaptogen-match\">Find Your Adaptogen Match<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"8c93a4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #8c93a4;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/HUM_Nutrition_adaptogens.jpg\" alt=\"Best adaptogens\" class=\"wp-image-27992 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Adaptogens are special because they specifically regulate, or balance, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA-axis plays a key role in helping your body adapt to stress. When your body faces stressors\u2014whether you\u2019re prepping for a big meeting, sitting in traffic, or even just anxious over some comment on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/healthy-social-media-habits\/\">social media<\/a>, your HPA axis, autonomic nervous system, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-the-immune-system-works\/\">immune system<\/a> are engaged. Hormones released in this process prepare us for a fight or flight response, also called the acute stress response. Once the threat is averted, the final stage is to bring the body back to homeostasis, a physiological steady-state.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Adaptogens are uniquely positioned to either upregulate or downregulate the HPA axis based on your needs, meaning they can help energize or stimulate, based on what is off-kilter in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This is why you\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re picking an adaptogen that will most effectively address your particular needs. For example, if you\u2019re looking for something to help manage stress and help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/mighty-night\/\">sleep<\/a>, your choice may be different than if you need an adaptogen to solely maintain focus. To help you choose the best adaptogen for you based on your goals, be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-are-adaptogens-herbs\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">our comprehensive adaptogen guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-take-adaptogens-for-the-best-results\">How to Take Adaptogens for The Best Results<\/h2>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-practice-cycling-adaptogens\">Practice cycling adaptogens<\/h3>\n\n\n<p id=\"h-like-your-favorite-pair-of-leggings-that-you-strategically-rotate-in-and-out-of-your-wardrobe-so-they-don-t-wear-out-too-fast-adaptogens-work-best-when-they-re-rotated-too\">Like your favorite pair of leggings that you strategically rotate in and out of your wardrobe so they don\u2019t wear out too fast, adaptogens work best when they\u2019re rotated, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Just as we adapt to new workouts (hence the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/weight-loss-plateau\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">weight loss plateau<\/a>), life changes, and circumstances, you guessed it, we also adapt to adaptogens. Many experts recommend rotating or cycling adaptogens so that their positive impact on the body can be continuous, rather than your system getting overly used to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Rotating, or even taking breaks from adaptogens is a good idea, explains Tyler Beakley, herbalist and owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.relytwellness.co\/pages\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Relyt<\/a>, a woman-owned wellness company. \u201cI like to think about rotating adaptogens seasonally, or every six months,\u201d she recommends.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>One thing to consider when cycling adaptogens is what effect you are looking for. If you\u2019re looking for help with focus and productivity, cycling between something like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/eleuthero-benefits\/\">eleuthero<\/a> (found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/7\/uber-energy\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM&#8217;s \u00dcber Energy<\/a>) and rhodiola (found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/5\/big-chill\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM&#8217;s Big Chill<\/a> supplement) could be beneficial. If relaxing and relieving stress is more your goal, then ashwagandha (found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/65\/calm-sweet-calm\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM&#8217;s Calm Sweet Calm<\/a> supplement) or Tulsi could be your best bet.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Just make sure you don\u2019t rotate your adaptogens <em>too<\/em> soon\u2014many take around three weeks to fully begin working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"c4c3c3\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #c4c3c3;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/rotating-adaptogens.jpg\" alt=\"Rotating adaptogens\" class=\"wp-image-27993 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-find-the-best-time-to-take-adaptogens\">Find the best time to take adaptogens<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\u00a0Given that some adaptogens are more stimulating while others are more relaxing, timing is everything when it comes to adaptogens&#8230;sort of. Most adaptogens can be taken at any time of day, but you might want to use the more sleep-friendly ones, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/ashwagandha\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">ashwagandha<\/a>, in the evening, and the energizing ones, like eleuthero, during the day, recommends Beakley. \u00a0HUM Nutrition&#8217;s VP of scientific affairs and education, Jennifer Martin-Biggers, PhD, MS, RDN says, &#8220;I love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/65\/calm-sweet-calm\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HUM&#8217;s Calm Sweet Calm <\/a>in the morning with a coffee to get added focus benefits from caffeine and L-theanine, and the ashwagandha keeps me chill during a stressful work day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-consistent\">Stay consistent\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Choosing a particular time of day to take your adaptogens is a solid choice, if for no other reason than it gets you in the habit of taking your adaptogens on a daily basis. This consistency <em>is <\/em>imperative to obtain their maximum benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>It might be helpful to take your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/what-vitamins-and-supplements-should-i-take\/\">supplements<\/a> in a way that corresponds to your daily routine (i.e., after you brush your teeth in the morning or when you take any other daily medication). Rae says, \u201cThe biggest thing about taking adaptogens is consistency. Adaptogens work on your endocrine system and nervous system but over long periods of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, adaptogens work on the body as a whole, and their benefits build over time. As<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7756641\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> one article in the journal <em>Medicinal Research Reviews<\/em><\/a> describes, \u201cAdaptogens have pharmacologically pleiotropic (<em>writer\u2019s note: pleiotropic means having more than one effect<\/em>)\u00a0 effects on the neuroendocrine\u2010immune system, which explain their traditional use for the treatment of a wide range of conditions.\u201d The article goes on to explain that they activate the adaptive stress\u2010response signaling pathways to cope with severe stress. Unlike certain herbs which can bring an immediate sense of relaxation to the body, adaptogens have more long-term effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-takeaway\">The Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>So, loaded with all this new information, the choose-your-own adaptogen adventure story is yours to embark on. With more intel, relating more closely to these magnificent plant allies can help you build a stronger relationship to your overall health and wellbeing, and perhaps, hopefully, the way you understand and honor the plants themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are all so strong and capable. I like to think of adaptogens as tools to remind ourselves of our own innate resilience,\u201d says Beakley. \u201cThey are incredible allies in today\u2019s busy modern world when we could use that extra support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/65\/ashwagandha-calm-gummies\" class=\"text-xs text-dark hover:!text-dark flex items-center border border-light rounded p-4 group !no-underline mb-4 relative pb-16 sm:pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 mr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.humnutrition.com\/assets\/860eff00-7edc-11f0-a0ef-c10dbf4f15a4.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"object-cover transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0\" alt=\"Ashwagandha Calm Gummies\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grow pr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2 flex flex-col sm:flex-row sm:items-center divide-x-0 sm:divide-x divide-light text-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 pr-2 flex\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex mr-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m8.713 3 1.54 3.61 3.46.58L11.207 10l.588 4-3.082-1.878zm4.555 7.253 3.157-3.193c.288-.269.354-.663.288-1.06-.164-.324-.467-.587-.828-.64l-4.353-.663L9.584.562A.965.965 0 0 0 8.713 0a.965.965 0 0 0-.871.562L5.89 4.697l-4.35.663c-.363.053-.665.316-.827.64-.067.397 0 .791.287 1.06l3.157 3.193-.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .388.978c.3.188.697.25 1.024.072l3.889-2.14 3.888 2.14c.324.178.721.116 1.021-.072a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .391-.978z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.6\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 sm:pl-2 text-medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t539 Reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-base font-semibold mb-1 group-hover:text-primary\">Ashwagandha Calm Gummies<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsupports stress relief for a calm, clear mind (formerly Calm Sweet Calm)\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-4 left-4 right-4 sm:bottom-0 sm:left-0 sm:right-0 sm:relative inline-flex justify-center bg-primary group-hover:bg-primary-light text-white rounded py-3 px-12 leading-none text-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pr-1.5 border-r border-primary-lightest\">$26<\/span><span class=\"pl-1.5\">SHOP NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"self-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you bought adaptogens!
