Adaptogens & herbsWeak evidence

Adaptogen complex

Also known as: adaptogen blend

An adaptogen complex combines several herbs, typically ashwagandha, rhodiola, ginseng, eleuthero, maca or mushrooms such as reishi. Individual doses are often low, so quality depends on the label.

What it is used for

  • Coping with stress and fatigue – weak evidence (evidence relates to single herbs, not blends)
  • Energy and focus – weak evidence

Forms and how they differ

blend of standardised extracts

best choice – active content listed for each ingredient

blend of herb powders

cheaper, low concentration of actives

proprietary blends without doses

impossible to judge how much of each they contain

When to take it

Morning or late morning with food; do not take stimulating ingredients in the evening.

Pairs well with

Works well with magnesium and regular sleep.

Do not combine / separate

Do not stack with other adaptogens or stimulants without checking the total formula.

Watch out for

Not suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you have a thyroid or autoimmune condition, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease or take medicines, consult your doctor.

Safety

The risk of interactions grows with the number of herbs in the blend. Do not exceed the label dose.

Practical tip

Choose one well-studied adaptogen at an effective dose rather than a blend of ten herbs in trace amounts.
