Adaptogens are a category of herbs that help the body adapt to stressors and promote overall balance. These substances have a long history of use in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Adaptogenic compounds share specific characteristics. They have a generalized effect on the body's response to stressors without targeting a specific organ or system. In other words, adaptogens enhance the body's overall resistance and resilience to various stressors, whether they are physical, chemical, or biological. Adaptogens also bring the body back into a state of balance or homeostasis. They may help regulate physiological functions without causing significant disruptions. Adaptogens have normalizing effects, meaning they can either stimulate or calm bodily functions based on the individual's needs. They are also generally safe with low toxicity, and most individuals tolerate them well when used appropriately. PureBulk carries numerous adaptogenic herbs, including:

Antioxidant molecules inhibit or neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals in the body. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules produced during normal cellular processes or due to external factors like exposure to UV radiation, pollution, and tobacco smoke. When free radicals accumulate in the body, they can cause oxidative stress, leading to damage to cells, proteins, and DNA. Oxidative damage expedites aging processes and can cause or worsen chronic illnesses. Antioxidants work by donating electrons to stabilize free radicals, preventing them from causing harm. PureBulk carries several antioxidant-rich supplements.

Men with decreased sex drives may benefit from tribulus supplements, too. A study reported a significant 79% increase in sexual desire among men taking tribulus daily for two months. Tribulus achieves this by boosting nitric oxide production.
Horny Goat Weed Powder (Epimedium 20% Icariin): Horny Goat Weed contains icariin flavonoids that support libido and sexual health. It helps increase nitric oxide production, which can improve blood flow and contribute to better erectile function. It achieves this by inhibiting phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). PDE5 enzymes regulate cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), a signaling molecule involved in smooth muscle relaxation. Inhibiting PDE5 can lead to increased cGMP levels, which is the mechanism that researchers commonly target to improve erectile function.
