Adrenal Daily Balance
While Garden of Life offers excellent USDA Organic and Non-GMO certifications which are crucial for root-based adaptogens, this formula uses a proprietary blend that obscures the exact dosage of Rhodiola and Holy Basil. It also lacks specific standardization data (e.g., % Withanolides or Rosavins) on the label, making it difficult to compare its potency to clinically-validated extracts.
