Adaptogens & Functional Plants

70 products across ashwagandha, rhodiola, ginseng, maca, holy basil, schisandra and functional mushrooms including lion's mane, reishi, cordyceps and chaga. Brands include Viridian, New Leaf, Lamberts, Ayurvediq Wellness, Fushi Wellbeing and HealthAid.

What does "adaptogen" mean?

It is a traditional and marketing term rather than a regulatory one. It describes plants used in Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal traditions and, more recently, Western herbalism. It has no legal definition in Great Britain and no approved health claim attaches to it.

Being straight about the evidence

No adaptogen carries an authorised health claim here - not ashwagandha, not rhodiola, not ginseng, not any of the mushrooms. We stock them because a great many customers ask for them and know what they are buying, but you will not find us describing what they do. Some products hold a Traditional Herbal Registration, which is granted on long-standing use rather than clinical trials; where that applies, the pack states it.

What to compare instead

Extract ratio and standardisation. KSM-66 and Sensoril are standardised ashwagandha extracts and will state a withanolide percentage; rhodiola extracts state rosavin and salidroside content. Mushroom products differ in whether they use fruiting body or mycelium, and whether they are extracts or milled powder - fruiting body extracts generally cost more. A big milligram figure on a raw powder is not comparable to a smaller one on a concentrated extract.

Interactions worth knowing

Ginseng can interact with warfarin and with diabetes medication. Ashwagandha is not recommended in pregnancy, and is best avoided with thyroid medication without advice. St John's Wort, sold elsewhere in the shop, interacts with a long list of prescription medicines. If you take anything prescribed, check with your pharmacist before starting a herbal product.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
