Adaptogens and nootropics are two categories of substances that we use in our hoppie water for their potential cognitive and health benefits.
Adaptogens are a group of natural substances, that help the body adapt to stressors and restore balance. They are thought to work by regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is the body's stress response system. Some popular adaptogens include ashwagandha, rhodiola rosea, and ginseng.
Nootropics, on the other hand, are substances that are believed to enhance cognitive function. Nootropics are thought to work by increasing blood flow to the brain, enhancing neurotransmitter function, and promoting neuroplasticity.
