Adapt™
Description: $44.95
Adapt was developed to promote the adaptation of individuals to stress.
Under stress a person may experience a depletion of critical co-factors that
are essential in protein and carbohydrate metabolism.
Furthermore, Adapt was formulated to address common problems encountered in
objective stress measurements of thousands of people.
A
rather common finding in the individuals displaying mal-adaptation to stress
was a tendency toward a pro-catabolic state.
The
hallmark of this abnormal state was rapid utilization and consumption of key
nutrients involved in both glycemic control and protein turnover.
Example:
Reduction in the quality and quantity of connective tissue (collagen)
predisposing individuals to slow healing, skin aging, etc. as a result of an
imbalance favoring a pro-catabolic state over a pro-anabolic one.
