What are adaptogens, and why are they added to drinks?
Adaptogens are plants and plant compounds, such as ashwagandha, rhodiola, ginseng, reishi and holy basil, with long histories in traditional herbal practices. Beverage makers like Cornbread Hemp add botanicals to create adaptogen drinks: functional, alcohol-free beverages with a botanical character. Cornbread Hemp adaptogen drinks, for example, are made with organic L-theanine, lemon balm and passionflower.
