NFH Adrenal SAP, 90 Capsules
Description
A combination formula: six adaptogenic herbs alongside the vitamins and minerals most involved in the body's stress-response pathways. It's built as a single product rather than a stack, which is the appeal — buying ashwagandha, ginseng, holy basil, astragalus, schisandra and eleuthero separately is six bottles.
The herbs
- Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) — the most studied adaptogen of the group
- Panax ginseng — traditional Chinese and Korean use for stamina
- Holy basil (tulsi) — long-standing Ayurvedic herb
- Astragalus — also sold on its own in our range
- Schisandra — a berry used in Chinese herbal tradition
- Eleuthero (Siberian ginseng) — unrelated botanically to Panax ginseng despite the name
The nutrients
Vitamin C, vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6, magnesium and zinc. B5 is included at meaningful levels because pantothenic acid is a required precursor for coenzyme A, which sits upstream of adrenal hormone production.
Contains licorice — read this part
This version contains licorice root extract, which can raise blood pressure and lower potassium in some people. That effect is well documented and not rare. If you have high blood pressure, heart or kidney conditions, or take blood pressure medication or diuretics, choose NFH Adrenal SAP Licorice-Free instead — we stock it for exactly this reason. Licorice is also not recommended during pregnancy.
Format
90 capsules. Non-GMO, hypoallergenic, no gluten, dairy, soy, artificial preservatives, artificial colours or fillers. Pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing in Canada.
Before you start
Given the number of active botanicals, it's genuinely worth reviewing this one with a pharmacist or doctor if you take any prescription medication. Ginseng, astragalus and ashwagandha each have documented interactions — with blood thinners, blood sugar medication, thyroid medication, sedatives and immunosuppressants among them.
Consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have an autoimmune or thyroid condition. Persistent fatigue deserves proper medical investigation rather than self-treatment — there are many possible causes worth ruling out. Store cool and dry, out of reach of children.
