Overview

Fatigue is a psychobiological state caused by prolonged periods of demanding activity and exertion1. Fatigue can be either mental or physical in nature and can start affecting performance.1 Convalescence is defined medically as the time between the diminishment of a disease and complete restoration to health and is characterized by the gradual recovery of health and strength after an extended period of weakness due to disease.2 Reactive oxygen species and other free radicals can lead to oxidative stress, damaging cells and being associated with a variety of human diseases.3 AdreneVive provides a unique blend of botanicals and ingredients that can help improve mental and/or physical performance after periods of mental and physical exertion, help relieve fatigue and weakness during convalescence, and provide antioxidants to protect against oxidative damage.

L-Theanine

L-theanine is an amino acid found abundantly in green tea4 and is associated with antioxidant effects including lowering the activity of hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid in- vitro.5 L-theanine has also demonstrated a protective role against oxidative stress in brains of rodents with a decrease in nitric oxide and an increase in the status of antioxidants.6

Phosphatidylserine

Antioxidant activity have been demonstrated by phosphatidylserine on lipid peroxidation induced by iron.7 It is suspected that its antioxidant activity is due to its ability to bind iron and suppress the iron-dependent decomposition of peroxides.7

Ashwagandha Root Extract

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has been shown to decrease levels of oxidants, inhibiting lipid peroxidation and reducing oxidative stress, as well as increasing the levels of antioxidant enzymes in the seminal plasma.

Rhodiola rosea Root Extract
Rhodiola rosea has demonstrated the increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase.9 As well, total plasma antioxidant levels and superoxide dismutase were increased in rowers supplemented with Rhodiola rosea.10

Eleuthero Root Extract

Eleutherococcus senticosus is used in Western herbal medicine for indications such as temporary fatigue and general debility.11,12,13,14 In addition, it has been recognized to help with performance after exertion according to Western Medicine.11,12,13,15

Skullcap Root Extract

Scutellaria baicalensis has flavanoids which provide numerous protective effects including antioxidant activity.16,17 The antioxidative activities of the flavones in Skullcap root (including Baicalin) has been shown to scavenge free radicals and depress the effects of lipid oxidation.16,
