Meet the Herbs Behind Adrenotonic™

Adrenotonic™ brings together roots, leaves, and berries with long histories of traditional use to create broad botanical support for resilience and vitality.*

American Ginseng Root: Native to eastern North America, American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) has a long history of use and is recognized as an adaptogenic herb. Its root contains naturally occurring compounds called ginsenosides and has traditionally been valued as a botanical for stamina and resilience.
Why it’s here: To help anchor the formula’s approach to sustained vitality and resilience.*

Black Currant Leaf: Black Currant (Ribes nigrum) is best known for its berries, but its leaf carries its own long history of traditional use across northern and central Europe and into northern Asia. The leaf contains naturally occurring flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol, and in European herbal traditions (particularly French phytotherapy) Black Currant became closely associated with supporting the adrenal glands and steadiness under everyday demands.
Why it's here: To reinforce the formula's adrenal focus, contributing a leaf traditionally tied to resilience that complements the roots and berries.

Eleuthero Root: Once commonly called “Siberian ginseng,” Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is actually a different plant from true ginseng. It has a long history of traditional use and became particularly associated with adaptogenic support for endurance and the body’s response to demanding conditions.
Why it’s here: To complement American Ginseng as part of the formula’s approach to everyday adaptability and sustained support.*

Astragalus Root: Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, often as part of multi-herb preparations, where it is traditionally valued as a nourishing tonic botanical.
Why it’s here: To broaden the formula beyond energy alone and support its resilience-focused botanical profile.*

Schisandra Berry: Sometimes known as the “five-flavor berry,” Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis) has a longstanding place in traditional herbal practice. It has also been used as an adaptogenic botanical associated with physical stamina and resilience to stress, and is traditionally valued for supporting a sense of calm and steady alertness.
Why it’s here: To complement the roots in the formula with a berry traditionally valued for endurance, adaptation, and mental steadiness.*

Licorice Root: Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has been valued across multiple herbal traditions, where it is traditionally used to “harmonize” a formula, helping the individual herbs work together as a whole.
Why it’s here: It ties the blend together, supporting the layered, multi-herb approach that distinguishes Adrenotonic™ from a single-herb formula.*

Adrenotonic™ also contains Sarsaparilla Root and Fo-ti Root, completing a proprietary blend designed around Herbs, Etc.’s approach to whole-formula herbalism.
