A: Adaptogens refer to the ability of compounds contained within certain plants to help support the body's response to external & internal demands, in other words, the body's "adaptability." The ability to adapt is the root of evolution & the secret to life & ultimately longevity. In skin, it is believed that adaptogens work at the cellular level to actually help stimulate skin to recover & regenerate itself after exposure to external stressors. Cumulative stress has been linked with most degenerative conditions including the destruction of collagen which leads to signs of skin aging.

A: Energy is one of the greatest anti-aging forces & one of the most important healing elements in our bodies. The more energy cells have, the slower they are. Unfortunately with age, our energy-producing system deteriorates. What follows is the vicious circle of energy insufficiency & a loss of capacity to repair when damage occurs. The secret to extended youth - energizing cells so they constantly correct, renew & replicate healthy function as well as protect themselves against free radicals & various pathogens. Rhodolia rosea, one of the widely recognized adaptogenic herbs, actually helps increase the capacity of the cells to free up energy reserves where needed & thereby it greatly enhances the capacity of the skin to kick start the repair process.
