Adapt was developed to promote the adaptation of individuals to stress.
Under stress a person may experience a depletion of critical co-factors that
are essential in protein and carbohydrate metabolism.
Furthermore, Adapt was formulated to address common problems encountered in
objective stress measurements of thousands of people.
A
rather common finding in the individuals displaying mal-adaptation to stress
was a tendency toward a pro-catabolic state.
The
hallmark of this abnormal state was rapid utilization and consumption of key
nutrients involved in both glycemic control and protein turnover.
Example:
Reduction in the quality and quantity of connective tissue (collagen)
predisposing individuals to slow healing, skin aging, etc. as a result of an
imbalance favoring a pro-catabolic state over a pro-anabolic one.

Common uses of Adapt™
The most common uses
of Adapt include use in fatigue, lack of vitality, a tendency toward fat
accumulation, emotional exhaustion and other stress states.
The Synergistic
Combination of Nutrients: Enhances the pro-anabolic state; Provides
important co-factors in the utilization of DHEA fro protein synthesis;
Promotes glycemic control for a more steady energy delivery; and Helps in
pregnenolone synthesis and utilization.
The companion product to Adapt for stress
adaptogens is Seriphos™
Seriphos™ is a
phosphorylated serine derivative in active form. More potent and economical
than phosphatidyl serine.
