The standard advice — take your adaptogen twice a day, every day — misses the point of what adaptogens actually do. They modulate the HPA axis. Flatline dosing flattens the very rhythm you’re trying to support.
A more pharmacologically-aligned protocol cycles adaptogens against the natural cortisol curve: rhodiola in the morning to sharpen the wake response, ashwagandha in the evening to blunt the tail-end cortisol spike.
