Educational summaries of published research on porcine adrenal gland cortex, Vitamin C, pantothenic acid, licorice root, Siberian ginseng, rhodiola rosea and ashwagandha generally; not product-specific claims. AOR Ortho Adapt's claims are the traditional and authorized uses under NPN 80039354.
Health regulators recognize rhodiola as a stress adaptogen
A review of pharmacological approaches to stress and burnout found Rhodiola rosea extract is the main plant adaptogen approved by European health regulators (HMPC/EMA) for the indication of stress, working by influencing the release of stress hormones while supporting energy metabolism.
ReviewSystematic review finds suggestive but mixed evidence for fatigue
A systematic review of 11 controlled trials found that about half of studies examining Rhodiola rosea for physical fatigue, and three of five examining mental fatigue, reported a benefit, while noting methodological limitations across the field that call for better-designed confirmatory trials.
Systematic reviewRhodiola's key compound improved oxygen use and eased exercise fatigue
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 16 days of salidroside (one of rhodiola's principal active compounds) improved oxygen uptake during high-intensity intermittent exercise and reduced markers of exercise-induced muscle damage and fatigue-related mood changes compared with placebo.
Human RCTSustained-release ashwagandha significantly lowered stress and cortisol
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 126 stressed adults, 60 days of a sustained-release ashwagandha root extract reduced Perceived Stress Scale scores by up to 41.6% and significantly lowered serum cortisol versus placebo, with no safety concerns reported.
Human RCTProprietary ashwagandha extract reduced cortisol and anxiety over 8 weeks
An 8-week, three-arm, placebo-controlled trial in 141 adults with moderate stress and anxiety found a proprietary ashwagandha root extract significantly reduced serum cortisol and improved Perceived Stress Scale, Hamilton Anxiety, and mood scores compared with both placebo and a standard ashwagandha extract.
Human RCTMeta-analysis confirms ashwagandha's effect on stress and anxiety
A systematic review and meta-analysis of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) trials concluded the herb produces a measurable reduction in stress and anxiety symptoms, reinforcing its traditional use as an adaptogen for the body's response to everyday stress.
Meta-analysisLicorice among the medicinal plants reviewed for peptic ulcer protection
A review of North African medicinal plants used for peptic ulcer disease highlighted licorice among the botanicals whose gastroprotective mechanisms include strengthening the gastric mucosal barrier, inhibiting excess acid secretion, and reducing inflammation.
ReviewLicorice flavonoid eased ethanol-induced gastric ulcers via a cell-signaling pathway
In a rat model, a flavonoid isolated from licorice (Glycyrrhiza species, including G. glabra) reduced ethanol-induced gastric ulceration and suppressed cell death in the stomach lining by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, supporting a mechanism behind licorice's traditional digestive use.
Animal studyLicorice flavonoids promote energy-driven repair of the gastric lining
Using spatial metabolomics, researchers found licorice flavonoids nearly doubled ATP levels and repaired the gastric mucosa in alcohol-induced ulcers by boosting glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and mitochondrial activity via the mTOR energy-sensing pathway.
Animal studyStandard licorice's glycyrrhizin content can raise blood pressure
A review of licorice's cardiovascular effects found its main compound, glycyrrhizin, is converted to a metabolite that blocks an enzyme that normally protects the body from cortisol's blood-pressure-raising action; pooled analyses of clinical studies found licorice intake significantly raised both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
ReviewA specific glycyrrhizin metabolite linked to licorice's blood-pressure effect
A multi-centre study measuring glycyrrhizin metabolites in patients with licorice-related symptoms identified a specific metabolite associated with lower renin, aldosterone, and potassium levels, clarifying the biochemical pathway behind licorice-induced pseudoaldosteronism (fluid retention, high blood pressure, low potassium).
Human studyA real case: daily licorice root tea drove severe high blood pressure
A case report described an adult with previously well-controlled blood pressure who developed severe hypertension, low potassium, and muscle weakness after three months of daily licorice root tea; symptoms resolved after stopping the licorice, illustrating why standard (non-deglycyrrhizinated) licorice carries cautions for blood pressure, potassium, and cardiovascular conditions.
Case reportHealth regulators recognize eleuthero for fatigue and weakness
A comprehensive review of Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng) root noted it is approved by the European Medicines Agency for symptoms of asthenia such as fatigue and weakness, with preclinical evidence pointing to anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective mechanisms behind its traditional adaptogen use.
ReviewEvidence on endurance benefits is mixed, review finds
A review of controlled studies on Eleutherococcus senticosus and endurance performance found that while some early reports suggested improved cardiorespiratory fitness and fat metabolism, the more methodologically rigorous trials showed no consistent advantage - a reminder to weigh the full body of evidence rather than isolated positive results.
ReviewAn eleuthero preparation improved oxygen uptake in an endurance trial
In healthy volunteers aged 50-57 performing constant endurance exercise, a Ciwujia (Eleutherococcus senticosus) preparation increased oxygen uptake per heartbeat by over 16% and reduced heart rate, consistent with improved exercise endurance and lipid utilization as an energy source.
Human studyTwo different multi-herb adaptogen formulas both eased stress and improved sleep
In a 60-day randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 186 stressed adults, both a rhodiola/holy basil/schisandra blend and a full-spectrum ashwagandha formula significantly reduced Perceived Stress Scale scores versus placebo, while also improving sleep quality, restorative sleep, and anxiety symptoms.
Human RCTA magnesium, B-vitamin, rhodiola and green tea combination blunted acute stress
In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, a combination of magnesium, B vitamins, rhodiola and green tea extract increased calming brain-wave activity and reduced subjective stress, anxiety and mood disturbance following an acute social stress test, compared with placebo.
Human RCTMagnesium, B-vitamins and rhodiola reduced chronic stress scores over 28 days
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial in chronically stressed adults found a combination of magnesium, B vitamins, rhodiola and green tea/L-theanine significantly reduced validated stress-scale scores versus placebo, with benefits sustained at a 56-day follow-up and improvements also seen in sleep quality.
Human RCTSystematic review: ashwagandha and rhodiola both act on the HPA axis
A systematic review of 24 randomized controlled trials (19 on ashwagandha, 5 on rhodiola) found both adaptogens reduced stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms and improved sleep, cognition, and hormonal balance, with mechanisms converging on regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, neurotransmission, and immune pathways.
Systematic reviewClassic adaptogens share anti-neuroinflammatory mechanisms
A mini-review comparing Withania somnifera (ashwagandha), Rhodiola rosea, Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng) and Schisandra chinensis found all four traditional adaptogens modulate inflammatory signaling pathways in the brain, suggesting a shared biochemical basis for their traditional stress-resilience use.
ReviewAn integrative-medicine review maps HPA-axis dysfunction to adaptogenic support
A clinical review of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction described how chronic psychological stress, poor diet, and disrupted circadian rhythms can dysregulate the body's central stress-response system, and identified adaptogenic herbs alongside diagnostic cortisol testing and lifestyle measures as part of an evidence-based, integrative approach to recovery.
ReviewPantothenic acid boosted the adrenal gland's own hormone output
In a controlled study, female rats supplemented with pantothenic acid showed a significantly greater adrenal corticosterone and progesterone response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) than unsupplemented controls, demonstrating that pantothenic acid is an essential cofactor for adrenal steroid hormone production.
Animal studyThe same adrenal-supporting effect confirmed in males
A parallel study in male rats found pantothenic acid supplementation increased both baseline and ACTH-stimulated adrenal secretion of corticosterone and progesterone, reinforcing pantothenic acid's (vitamin B5's) direct biochemical role in supporting the adrenal cortex's hormone-producing capacity.
Animal studyVitamin C supports the collagen production behind wound healing
A tissue-regeneration study combining ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with a natural antioxidant found the combination promoted fibroblast proliferation and collagen production at the wound site, consistent with vitamin C's well-established biochemical role as a required cofactor for collagen synthesis and wound healing.
Animal studyFrequently asked questions
How do I take AOR Ortho Adapt?
Adults 18 years and older take 2 to 4 capsules daily, after a meal, or as directed by a qualified health care practitioner. Do not open the capsules, do not exceed the daily dose, and consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 1 month.
What are the 7 ingredients in Ortho Adapt, and how much of each?
Each capsule contains porcine adrenal gland cortex 125 mg, Vitamin C 125 mg, pantothenic acid (B5) 50 mg, licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) 200 mg, Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) 50 mg, rhodiola rosea extract 37.5 mg, and ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) 50 mg - 638 mg total.
Is Ortho Adapt vegan or vegetarian?
No. Ortho Adapt contains porcine adrenal gland cortex, an animal-derived ingredient, and the label's allergen statement notes it contains animal by-product. If you need a vegan option, this is not it.
How is Ortho Adapt different from AOR Gandha-600 Ashwagandha?
Gandha-600 is a single-ingredient, vegan 600 mg ashwagandha extract under its own NPN. Ortho Adapt is a 7-ingredient, non-vegan adaptogen and nutrient complex that includes a smaller 50 mg ashwagandha extract alongside adrenal gland cortex, Vitamin C, B5, licorice, Siberian ginseng and rhodiola, under its own separate NPN (80039354). The two are not interchangeable and are dosed independently.
How is the licorice in Ortho Adapt different from AOR DGL Licorice Root?
AOR DGL uses deglycyrrhizinated licorice, processed to remove most of the glycyrrhizin, which is why DGL's Health Canada monograph carries no blood-pressure or potassium cautions. Ortho Adapt uses standard (non-deglycyrrhizinated) licorice root extract, which keeps its natural glycyrrhizin - so Ortho Adapt carries real cautions around blood pressure, potassium, and cardiovascular or kidney conditions that DGL does not. Check the Important Information on this page before using Ortho Adapt if any of those apply to you.
What is the difference between the 120-capsule and 240-capsule bottles?
Both bottles contain the exact same 638 mg, 7-ingredient formula and NPN (80039354) - the 120-count is a 60-day supply and the 240-count is a 120-day supply at the top dose of 4 capsules per day, so you can choose the size that fits how often you want to reorder.
Who should not use Ortho Adapt?
Do not use if you are taking thiazide diuretics, cardiac glycosides, corticosteroids, or stimulant laxatives; if you have hypokalemia, high blood pressure, or a kidney or cardiovascular disorder; or if you have bipolar spectrum disorder. Consult a health care practitioner before use if you are taking antidepressants, hormone replacement therapy, or birth control pills, have an acute infection or liver disorder, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Is AOR Ortho Adapt made in Canada?
Yes. It is manufactured by Advanced Orthomolecular Research (AOR) in Calgary, Alberta, and licensed by Health Canada under NPN 80039354.
