Stress Adaptogens

Rhodiola (SHR-5)

Rhodiola rosea

The premier adaptogen for the stress of a fast

What it is

Fasting is a hormetic stressor: a positive stress that signals the body to adapt. Rhodiola is the premier adaptogen for keeping that response in balance, acting like a thermostat that keeps cortisol steady rather than spiking. Core uses the clinical SHR-5 extract to support deep resilience so you feel your best throughout your fast.

Sourcing & potency

Core uses the clinically studied SHR-5 Rhodiola rosea extract.

How it works

Adaptogens act on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the body's central stress-response system, nudging it toward balance. Rhodiola helps blunt the cortisol spike often associated with fasting while supporting steady energy.
