It was a Russian pharmacologist, Nicolaï Lazarev, who coined this term to describe any natural substance that could increase the body’s physical and mental abilities. The term is still used today to denote “a pharmacological substance capable of inducing in an organism a state of non-specific increased resistance enabling it to counteract stress signals and adapt to exceptional effort”.

1. It must increase the body’s resistance to various types of aggressor (physical, chemical or biological) in a non-specific way;
2. It must have a normalising effect (based on physiological norms);
3. It must not be toxic or adversely affect the body’s normal functions.

The idea of adaptogens already existed in traditional Chinese medicine, with the name ‘qi tonics’, for regularising the body’s various functions, increasing energy and generally supporting good health.

Wild Amazonian Formula is not recommended for those suffering from auto-immune diseases because in these individuals, stimulating the immune system threatens, rather than protects, the body. In addition, some of the plants used, particularly mullaca, can produce a mild hypotensive and anti-coagulant effect.

To optimise supplementation, it’s advisable to follow the recommendations below:

• Make sure you get the right amount of sleep for your needs (7 hours a night is often the minimum required).
• Don’t smoke and try to use household products that contain a minimum of chemicals.
• Always wash your fruit and vegetables or make sure you choose organic varieties.
• Take regular, moderate exercise.
• Eat a healthy diet, prioritising immune-stimulant foods such as mushrooms, garlic, onions and shallots.

Wild Amazonian Formula can be combined with other supplements available to buy at Supersmart such as Reishi extract or Adaptix to maximise its effects on immunity.

To prevent winter infections, it’s best to begin a six-month course of supplementation in the autumn. In all other cases, it can be continued for longer.
