Cocoa & coconut adaptogenic power balls

Adaptogens support metabolic processes that ultimately help our bodies restore balance. Physical and mental stress takes a toll on our endocrine, immune, and neurological systems. These herbs work to counteract stress effects within the body. Like all effective health habits, they must be consumed daily for 2-3 weeks to truly feel the positive change.
