There are quite a few adaptogenic compounds which work on the Adrenal Glands to reduce the production of a hormone called cortisol during times of stress.

Cortisol is responsible for the inflammatory response and also controls blood glucose levels - which tend to rise with adrenaline during the fight or flight response to give more energy to the muscles in case we need to run from a stampeding elephant..

There are many Adaptogens besides Ashwaghanda and actually better ones TBH.

Rhodiola
Korean Ginseng
Liquorice Root
Reishi Mushroom
Matcha
Green Tea
Withania
Vitamin B12

Brilliant!
Thanks heaps ... again Shivani!
