You’re trying to look at ancient Chinese medicine through the prism of modern science, and interprete it from a Western viewpoint.
I don’t do it the way you do.
So I still cannot answer your question about adaptogen. Sorry again!

@askjohnfung An adaptogen is a phytonutrient that has the amazing ability to help normalize or adapt the bodys physiologic functions to a higher rate of functioning, regardless of the persons current health status . Adaptogens are able to take you from where you are, so to speak, and then help move you to the next level. This action is thought to be mediated via the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal axis, the pathway linked to longevity.

So adaptogen is a brand name.
There are millions of brands out there coming out everyday. I don’t have the time to keep up. So the answer is, I don’t know. Sorry!

Of course it does matter.
Normally, use no more than 10 grams for each herb in the package.

The traditional way is to boil and simmer the herbs in water for about one half. Then drink the solution. Throw away the boiled herbs.
One cup of solution a day is good enough.
