WHAT DOES IT DO?

According to the manufacturer:

Reprinted with permission of Life Extension

"There is a species of deep sea fish called Garum armoricum, whose only known habitat is off the coast of England. An extract from this fish is sold under the trade name Adapton. The active ingredients in Adapton (Garum armoricum extract) have been shown to increase the amount of calming endorphins and to improve the body’s ability to adapt to mentally and physically stressful conditions. Garum contains vitamins, minerals and Omega-3 EFAs, and polypeptides that act as precursors for endorphins and other neurotransmitters.41,42"
