Adaptogens vs Stress

An interview with Dr. Stephen Fulder


"Stress is not an illness in itself. Stress is change...our ability to adapt to all the changes that occur in life - moment to moment - whether emotional or physical. Stress can be from exercise, work, chemicals, drugs, food, radiation, bacteria, disease, temperature, or simply too many late nights and too much fun."

Dr. Stephen Fulder


How Does Stress Affect the Body?

When under stress, the body reacts by producing adrenaline which puts the whole body on a state of alert - chemical signals that prepare the body and mind for stress. The metabolism, blood pressure and circulation are disrupted; immunity and resistance are drastically reduced; performance suffers. In short, stress undermines health and destroys well-being.

What are Adaptogens?

Adaptogens are biologically active substances found in certain herbs and plants which help the body and mind adapt to the changes and stress of life.

How Do Adaptogens Do at the Cellular Level?

Health is dependent on the healthy functioning of cells. Stress has an impact at the cellular level - depriving cells of their energy supply. When a cell cannot function properly it becomes weak and damaged. The body gradually breaks down as disease and aging processes begin. This is where adaptogens enter the picture in a remarkable way. From the beginning they allow the cell to absorb and use its available energy by uniting glucose and enzymes. Adaptogens also prevent the formation of complex molecules which obstruct the cells from manufacturing energy properly. The body is allowed full access to its energy potential and the cells remain healthy.

This process actually takes place in every cell in the body. The cells return to healthier functioning as the various body organs and systems begin to normalize. This normalizing effect may be noticeable in various internal or external ways. Ultimately, the entire body will normalize itself and achieve the balance that nature intended.

Is There Anything Else in Nature Which Works This Way?

No Adaptogens are completely unique in nature. Scientists have struggled with stress for decades, but have never achieved this scientific breakthrough. Adaptogens are the only natural substances which can help the body protect itself form stress. They provide benefits which are impossible to get in any other way.

What Does Prime 1 Do?

Prime 1 cannot remove stress from anyone's life, but it helps the body adapt to stress. If you have been taking Prime 1 the stress reaction is different. The response is sharper, but the production of adrenaline slows down and there is more left in reserve. One is not as quickly exhausted - fewer hormones are needed to achieve the same effect.

How Long Does Prime 1 Take to Work?

From the moment you first take Prime 1, it begins its work at the cellular level. The body limits its own reaction to stress, and cells return to a healthy state. This effect happens for everyone. Many of the internal changes are not felt - but they are both immediate and dramatic. The way these show up in everyday life may be subtle at first - but once the cellular changes happen, people can begin to see or feel the difference in themselves as the body adapts and balances itself. Within a few hours or a few months, each individual will ultimately experience Prime 1's impact - as noticeable changes in daily life; emotional and physical health; and a sense of overall well being.
